Hi all I'm new here my adorable girl is pregnant and has gone into labour she only started about an hour ago but already she is having strong contractions is this normal?
Yes. Is she cleaning the kitten? Did you see the placenta? She will feed the kittens after all have been born depending on how close the births are. Try not to let her eat more than 4 placentas.
Only one kitten so far I'm a little worried though because I read that she should have another within an hour of her first one and still no sign even though I can feel a kitten inside her x
Ok. Is this her first litter? Sometimes there is only one kitten. She could deliver another - it's not an exact science. So long as she is not in distress everything should be fine. There are some articles at the top of the forum with info on birthing and kitten care.
The kitten is all whitish? If so, its quite probable it will turn into a point with time. You will see it probably in a week, perhaps somewhat later. Mommy is the self definition of Calico, with hers well definited color splotches.
