I had to help with the second, because it came so fast and she got confused, but my question is......does the need to nurse them immediately?
She gave them a little, now she is cleaning them, but hasn't nursed since.

Don't worry too much about her nursing right now.....the most important thing is that she cleans them and their airways are clear so they are breathing good.

Congrats on your new arrivals! Be sure to keep us updated!

Yes, she's done a great job cleaning them, she has since nursed them, and they are all cuddling right now.
She is having more contractions, and is still full....so she's not done yet.
Thanks Kitty!

I'm so excited that the babies are finally coming! I bet you are a nervous wreck. I feel like a nervous "aunt".


As soon as you are able......post some pictures of the new babies and mom!

aww .. anything new to report? Also.. don't worry too much about the pause.. I've heard that cats can take up to 24 hours to give birth to their entire litter
but still keep an eye out, cause 1 may block off the rest.

soon, LOL....I just want to make sure she's settled, and doesn't want to move the kittens all over the place before I start snapping

Are you sure she's done? Feel her belly and see if you can feel anymore "lumps" or movement.

Gosh I would have thought she'd have more than 4 with the size of her belly!

I can't wait for pictures!!!!

YEAH!!!! but only 4? I wonder if she's taking a break. There's gotta be more in there! oh well 4 is a great number. Not too many to worry about.
