Hello. I am very glad to find you!! I went out to get my paper this morning and there was a very pregnant cat on my porch who was in distress. No sooner did I pick up the paper when she darted inside to the great distress of my three cats inside!! I found her in my bedroom on some clean clothes I was folding and she started going into labor.
I was totally confused but helpful when I could be and now I am the caregiver of a mother cat and 6 BEAUTIFUL kittens!!
Now here are the problems-I had never seen this cat before today so I have NO idea how or even if I should help her. She is feeding the kittens and keeping them clean. She doesn't seem to mind me too much and thats a good thing since she is in my bedroom(of course my other cats are in a revolt since they slept with me before the army arrived). I have put a litterbox in the room although I have no idea if she has ever used one.
She has food and water.
I am at a complete loss of what to do! If anyone could give me some advice I would be forever grateful!!

ALSO-she is having a hard time breathing-she can breathe but it sounds like she is stopped up, like a cold.
ALSO ALSO-I read on a website that a mother cat will probably not eat the 1st 24 hours after birth-How long does the no appetite thing last?
THANKS!!
