Is it more to the top of the head, or the back of the neck? If it is the back of the neck, she is most likely trying to figure out how to carry them(if this is her first litter). The only pregnent cat I've ever taken care of took a few tries to figure it out.

i thank you for all of your help she is now in the box with them and nursing them

You're welcome. Congrats on a smooth birth.

Keep her indoors and away from the male if he is not neutered yet (and I would recommend getting him neutered as soon as you can. After neutering, keep them seperate because sperm can be stored for up to a month after neutering). Cats can go into heat and get pregnant as early as a week after giving birth. She can be spayed when the kittens are weaned (around 8 weeks old).

i have noticed that she likes to walk away a lot is there anything i need to do

i have also noticed that she favors one and has almost nothing to do with the other

How so? Is she allowing it to nurse?

well she will walk away from it and let the other nurse and when she is settled i will move the other so it can nurse now that she is calmed down she has both of them with her she is laying her head on them to keep them warm

First-time mothers will usually walk away from their litters to hang out with their owners a few times. I suggest confining her to a low-traffic room where you spend a lot of time.

what is the best way to keep the alpha male away

probably best to keep the alpha male in a seperate room where he can not get at the mama cat and kittens.

best to keep all of the males in a seperate room from her and the kittens.

the only problem is when he can not get in a room he tears up the carpet

obviously your alpha cat is not neutered. first thing is that a female cat whom has just given birth can get pregnant extremley soon after giving birth. Secondly the male cat can get aggressive at these new kittens and try to hurt them to get at the mama cat.

are you playing on getting the male cat neutered and female spayed?

Do you have any uncarpeted rooms? Does he only scratch up the edges?

now she is acting like she is tring to eat them

how long do they stay in labor

i live in a two bedroom apartment and the only room that does not have carpet is the bathroom
he is tring to rip up the carpet from the middle not the edges

yes i plan on getting them spayed and nutered

not sure what to advise but it is imperative that they are kept separate

hows the mama cat & kittens going?
