Hi guys!
I joined the site just a few days ago to get ready for our cat’s accidental litter! (Found out she was pregnant the same week we scheduled her spaying, so obviously postponed that!)
I would just like to say, every cat labor IS different! Bella had no signs, no discharge, was as quiet as ever and never stopped eating. She didn’t even nest, even though I made multiple boxes around the house.
Last night at 8.30pm my 7 (today she is 8!) year old daughter ran down stairs yelling ‘babies!’ - apparently Bella walked into her room, sat on her clothes and silently popped out kitten 1. She did amazing. We eat with her and at 9.01 kitten 2 came out, followed by kitten 3 at 9.08 as she was cleaning the second kitten! She was so natural! Bella is just shy of being 10 months old so we were nervous. The dad cat lives here also (he is already neutered now!) and was laying with Bella, holding her paws and cleaning her between the kittens, and was sitting with the babies while mama ate some food!
Now my question is, aftercare! What is normal, when do we see the vet and anything I need to know?
The litter box is still clean and unused since last night, is this normal? I did clean the tray after delivery and it was filled, so I assume she cleared out.
Can dad cat stay with them? I did keep him out their room last night just to be safe but wasn’t sure.
Thank you for reading!
