Just weigh them quickly in front if her so she sees you doing it.

I'm going to use this thread as a reminder of the order they came out and what they look like.

I have the scales but I'm waiting to see what you think before doing anything.

It's now 3.44am here in the UK. I don't know about poor moggy but I'm shattered.

She won't let me. The second I put baby on the scales she took him straight off then promptly sat on them

Yes, on the small side, but they should grow fast as long as they nurse well.

I'm sure you're totally exhausted. Your cat probably is too. You'll be able to get a nice nap once she's all done.

Rub it with a towel between your hands.

Did the baby breathe yet?

Did mom lick it to stimulate breathing after it was born?

Baby's breathing. It came out backwards and she didn't break the sack. I couldn't do it it just kept slipping because of the gloves. Did get sack off but it didn't move and mom did nothing so I rubbed with towel then put it under moms nose and she started licking and it started crying.

I can't stop shaking. Poor moggy must be exhausted. Really anxious now.

You don't need the gloves. You need to have scissors handy to cut a cord or open a sac. Or you can pinch a cord with your fingers or tear a sac with your fingers. Gloves just get in the way.

Do you think she has more to deliver?

I absolutely can't thank you enough. Lord knows how I'd haven't gotten through the night without your support. Really hoping there's no more or that if there are please God let them all be ok
