My cat Mia had 7 kittens last night, the last one at 2 am. Needless to say she was exhuasted.  I fugured she would eat when she felt a little better. Bu no, she just lays with her kittens and is a good and very aware mother, kittens gaining, clean. How much longer should I wait before getting her to doctor?

Have you tried offering food and water to her in the nest? Did she eat all of the placentas

If she ate all 7 placentas, she's not hungry. She will eat when she is ready! You can offer her wet food in the nest or leave it nearby, but I doubt anything is wrong. My cat ate 4 placentas and drank a dish of kitten formula in the nest, then did not get out for about 12 hours.
