Cat just had 7 kittens!

What is CPC? They are eating 3-4mle now every 2-2.5 hours. I fed them after I found them and each one almost ate up to 7mls.

Oh wow! I'm glad they ate well. She surely had not fed them in awhile. [emoji]128533[/emoji]

Does she feed/clean them at all?

She cleans them as far as I know. But that's all.

Will she nurse if you stay with her and help place the babies?

Okay, so she's not nursing them at all, even during the night?

Are you feeding them through the night?

If she is seriously not nursing them, then she can go ahead and be spayed soon.

It seems she helps me out at night time. But morning feedings come and they seem hungry. I see them nursing on her from time to time and I say she isn't feeding then bc there still isn't much milk in yet. I just locked her in my room and covered up all spots she could think about taking them. Hopefully it helps. As far as them being mixed with Persian, there is a Persian male around my house that's a stray. I kind of hope they have those dopey eyes I saw on Google [emoji]128525[/emoji]

To me, this sounds like she is most comfortable when it is dark and quiet.  What is her nest set up right now?

Has the vet given her a shot to help with milk production?

Is always dark in there I only go in to sleep.

That looks cozy and she looks content nursing them.  
Is she better when you sit with her while she nurses?  Have you talked to a vet about a shot to stimulate milk production?

She doesn't mind d either way if I am there or if I am not. She trusts me Completely I've had her since she was 1 week old

I was and change the blankets every other day they alternate between two of them Idk why she moved them

You may actually be washing the blankets too much.  She wants her scent to be on them.  

Can you please answer the question about helping to increase her milk production?

No I haven't asked about any shots. I don't have the money for that right now. I didn't even know she was pregnant she has a check up at the vets 3 weeks ago and she said she wasn't pregnant so I was not prepares

CPC means color point carrier. It's referring to their coloring. From what I can tell in the photos they look darker on their heads and tips (feet, tail, nose, ears). This simply means that she and the father had the pointed or Siamese gene. I'm a himalayan owner myself and love that specific color pattern.

I hate to hear she's not nursing them at all! I'm sure you're a wreck. How old are they? Have you checked to ensure mom is in fact producing milk?

They are 4 days old now, and she produces milk but just a drop here and there if I squeeze and she's not saggy like she should be either. But no worries I got this

You go mama! I'm super impressed with your resolve and ability. My cat just had 7 live kittens yesterday herself. There was an 8th but it was tiny, malformed and stillborn.

They are very cute! Perhaps not CPC like I originally thought with the white faces but you never know. That's very strange that mom isn't nursing them. Since you didn't know she was pregnant I'm assuming you didn't have her on kitten food then? That gives her a more balanced diet in order to produce milk etc for kittens. I'd get mom on kitten food asap if you haven't already. Royal Canin makes a great kitten/mom food that's got all essential nutrients in it. It's called mama baby cat. They have it at PetSmart. Maybe you can start feeding her a can or two a day along with dry kitten food mixed in with current food. That might help. Keep us posted

While it is true that some moms manage on their own, they should not all be left to their own devices.  In this case, I suspect that the kittens would be very weak and even dying if they weren't being supplemented.  The OP being vigilant is saving them.  Worrying and helping will not make the mom lose interest.
