What information is needed for people to help i have been trying to keep a close eye on them
Hey your in texas! like me, im in houston texasWhat kind of help do you need?
well so far everything seems normal, i left them alone for a little while and they seemed to all get fed and rest, i will report more soon, a little busy at the moment will be coming back to answer more questions thank you!I was born and raised in Houston! I'm now in Lubbock
Ok... Mama and kittens.
Is the box (nest) large enough for her to spread out comfortably? Where is it located?
Do you have her litter box, food and water close by so she stays near the kittens?
Do you have a small kitchen scale that weighs in ounces/grams? This will enable you to see if they are gaining adequately. It is highly recommended on this forum.
If the mama cat doesn't seem in distress or exhibiting any more signs of labor she is probably not going to deliver any more.
It is often suggested to have KMR (kitten meal replacer) on hand with small needle less syringes in case you need to assist in the feeding.
Also, giving the mama cat some will help her increased nutritional needs while she is nursing.
What are you feeding the mama cat?
Most recommend canned/wet food several times a day and dry food available at all times as well as water.
If mama is attentive and responsive to her kittens it's ok for her to take a break from them. If you think she isn't then it would be a good idea to confine her with the kittens.
There are some outstanding advisors on this thread that hopefully will stop in and offer more suggestions and help.
