- Thread Starter Thread Starter

Sorry auto correct lol! She has not passed the placenta yet
She will. And she may or may not eat it. If she does not then just discard it. Make sure there is a placenta for each kitten.
Any more yet?

Yes 2nd one born at 8.28pm the placenta came for kitten 1 and she ate it and minutes later she pushed for kitten #2 x
If it's a big litter, allow her to eat around 3 placentas, and throw away the rest. If she eats many, it might cause her to have diarrhea. You might want to try to prevent that ^^
And congratulations on your first 2 kittens! Hope it will all continue to go smooth <3

Awesome! When my Charlie had her kittens, they were all out within 45 minutes... 5 of them! I was astonished. Seems like your baby is doing great and will do everything right being her third litter. Also, it's normal for the cat to wait until all the kittens are born before letting them nurse.
Missy had 3 then had the last one 8 1/2 hours later than number 3 it can sometimes take time
but i would say if she wont feed them yet more are on there way soon Missy didn't really let them feed till she was ready to and pushed them away while having contractions so i would not worry just yet
i feel really sorry for them its bad enough pushing 1 out let alone 4/5 at a time without any pain relief
have you tried offering her some KMR or natural yogurt to keep her energy up she will be tired and worn out
Missy went mad for natural yogurt when she was in labor both times i actually think she was waiting for it this time lol

I'm glad the birthing is going well so far, and that you are there to assist. It sounds like she may be having a big litter. Has she had time to nurse yet?
