Wednesday afternoon at 2:41pm, my neighbor called me saying she just woke up (she works midnights, I babysit her kids) and that she found Sushi, their one female cat, on the futon with 2 newborn kittens. (the dad must have got her right before they neutered him on March 27th)
I ran over there when I got home from work and set up a banana box for her instead of the futon.
Anyhow...
I stayed over there because I knew she wasn't done yet.. she was still fairly big and I could feel 1 or 2 more inside her.
It wasn't until around 6pm that the 3rd one was born(we figure the first two were born in between 1:30-2:30) And she didn't even appear to be in labor until 5:30. The 4th one was born not too long after that.
Can cats go out of labor and come back into it? If it went on for much longer I told them to take her to the vet to have labor induced or something, but she did it herself.
I have them over here now in my spare bedroom for today.. as they are moving to a new house. (nice timing Sushi!) I'll try and get pictures if the camera will let me.
