Cleo is in labor I am a wreck

you heard anything yet hun i still waiting for my cat to go as she just dropped

How exciting! New kittens! CJ was in labor for a while before she gave birth. It took a while, but, she gave birth to 3 kittens. Unfortunately, my Limeny , second born, didn't make it and died a few days later. I hope that all your kitties will be healthy and happy, and born with absolutely no complications! Congrats!

she is laying with her bottom slightly up in the air. Is this normal?
No kittens yet.

My little girl is due to have her third litter in 10 days....can not wait . She laid like that with her second litter...it is a normal position. My girl was in hard labor for a little more than an hour.

my cat did that on her first litter i put a her box down made the room quiet and with in an hour she started giving birth so give that go


good luck

CJ did that, too. She's probably just trying to get comfy... well, as comfy as she can get.

Ok we are having kittens. The head just appeared out and she is still trying to push. How long should it take for her to expell the whole kitten?

5 - 10 mins is the longest i have ever known good luck hun

Still pushing.

Hope it goes well!

It should not take long at all....maybe a few minutes max. Good Luck!!!

your persian are lovely i use to have exotic sort hair persians

It has been 8 minutes since the head was visable. Should I help her ??

can you grip the kitten at all ??

and are you sure is a head

Yes it is the head I can see the nose through the sack

If a kitten comes partially out (body out and head still in the canal) & then appears to be stuck, a gloved vaselined finger inserted in the anus may be able to hook over the rest & help expell the kitten (often just the anal stimulation causes another contraction & does the trick). Rubbing the stomach also stimulates contractions. Rub the stomach and wait if only a foot or leg protrudes (with contractions the protruding body part may withdraw into the canal before resurfacing again as the contraction progresses).

You may want to help her by gently pulling BUT only when she is pushing too!

And thank you Gailail!
