She's having her kittens

im not sure if i should post a new thread or not.. but shes starting to push she's been pushing for about 4 mins or so now. i am wondering how long a cat should push for before i call a vet i dont want her straing her self to long. but im so happy i have been waitting for this for all most a week now.. and for u that are just comming to this thread i picked up the cat the was droped off at my parents house or around it and took her home with me since we where going to have a bad storm and didnt want her left out side dearing it. ty for any help ill keep u all posted..

hi that is brill, my cat was pushing for an hour and twenty mins yesterday before the first one came, i think once you can see the baby it should of come out by 10 mins i think thats right

well theres still no baby and its been about an hr sice i notice her starting to push..

can you see anything from the birth canal

no i cant see anything at all.

i was really anxious till the first on came out i could see it for 10mins before it came out i was getting ready to ring the vet im not sure how long you can leave them pushing without seeing any thing im not sure on this but i think it can be quiet a while

does she seem ok in her self not disstressd or anything

its normal to push as she pushing the baby down as times goes on they will get stronger and closer

she still hasnt had any kittens but she has started to leek a little bit of blood now.. im thinking of taking her to a no kill shelter.. i dont want to put her threw any stress..
does anyone have any advies?????

TB take a look at this article and then make your determination.

I was worried earlier too... My kitty pushed for about an hour before anything happened... After the first came out, the other ones birthed pretty easily...

I am pretty sure there is a 5th kitty inside her belly... we'll see!

I think the most paramount thing for me during this process was trusting my cat... I was there, just incase, but I just trusted her...

She leaked fluid and abit of blood, I believe this is normal... After 3 kitties quite abit of fluid came out and then an hour later a 4th kitty...

keep us posted...

trust trust trust!
your instinct and your cats!

well i took her to paws i talked to someone that had a cat and that has been around the delivery of kittens and since she has been going at it since 1:20am this morning and its not almost 12 hrs later.. i decided to take her in.. i think i did the right thing. i coudl never live with my self if she or her kittnes died because i didnt take her in and hope she would be fine this way my mind is at ease.. but i told them that if everythign turns out ok i would foster her.. so we will see what happend.. ty for all your guys help.

good job going with your instinct!

intuition never fails...

well im glad i did take her in they called me back and told me they had to put her to sleep because she had a relay big whole in her uterus.. and the kittens where all ready dead by the time they got to hear.. but now im left felling guilty. i wonder if i would have taken her in soon if that would helped.. but on the other hand there was no way for me to know she had a whole in her.. but shes not hurting anymore so thats the good thing.. Ty again for all your guys info and help.

you poor thing, and the poor kitty, you did the right thing though, we are all here for you. take care, God bless you

awwwww...

Omg, I'm so sorry!
