don't know what to do

I am sure my cat is in labor. she has been whinning all day, haven't eaten much of anything.

I am a little concern because I made 3 beds for her to deliver babies, but she don't like either of them. she has been digging in drawers, closets but is not happy in any location. she is walking up and down the hall way. what should I do?

for awhile, she even sat in my lap and allowed me to pet her tummie. she just seem so uncomfortable.

Place the nests you have prepared in one room which you can close off from the general traffic of the house. Your girl may not want to deliver in any of them, but once she chooses a spot, then you can always move them afterwards. Make sure her litter box is clean and nearby but not too close to where she chooses to deliver. Bring in her food and water dishes as well. Dim the lights, make the room warm but not stuffy and just sit quietly with her.

How old is your Momma cat? Is this her first litter?


Update us as soon as you can, OK?

Put her in a quiet room, and give her some nesting boxes choices, dump out a sock drawer and put some soft bedding in it, empty out half a closet and spread a blanket on the floor- and then just leave her be. She will find the right spot for her to have the kittens-

OH MY! Kitties! Kitties! Kitties! Everyone's cats are having kitties! I don't know much about labor signs, so I can't really help you there. I've observed deliveries, but, I was always too late to see the labor signs. I am currently ANXIOUSLY awaiting the birth of my CJ's kittens! I'm excited! I can't wait to see pics of your newest additions! Good luck, and I hope all goes well with your furbabies!

she just had her first one!!!!! in the closet in my office

*smile* Yes, from the way you described her behavior, I thought it was going to be very, very soon ... how's she doing?

she is doing good. it looks as if she is doing everything she is suppose to be doing. she is still cleaning the first one . haven't had any more yet

Excellent ... you'll see what looks like a bubble begin to emerge ... it will vary in color and appearance, but you'll know it when you see it. That will be the next baby being born!

Even though it may gross you out, let Momma eat the placentas if she wants to - they will help to stimulate her milk coming down and provide her with a large protein burst so her uterus will begin to heal. If she doesn't clean the sacs off the babies, you will need to so be prepared to do that. A lot of times, all you need to do is break it away from baby's face and Mom gets interested again.

I am excited for you and can't wait to hear more updates!

second one has just arrived

Do they appear healthy?
I'm so excited for you!

Way to go- hope all goes smoothly-

yes they appear healthy. they are meowing, and both are all black and feet are white.

Just be sure that where she decided to have them is free from drafts-

she had a total of 4 kittens. all of them are black with white paws.

mom haven't eaten or drank anything yet. I've places her food and water in the closet with her. so hopefully she'll eat soon she won't leave the babies.

babies seem to be doing good. they are latching on real well.

Oh wonderful! Wonderful! Congrats to you and the new mommy!

The rescue I volunteer with rescues cats and kittens from the local shelter. If this wasn't a planned pregnancy, please have the momma cat spayed once she weans the kittens and place the kittens into homes with a spay/neuter contract.
