You might have seen my post in Strays and Ferals about Nerona which is a black and white pregnant feral stray in my vicinity, which has so far been impossible to trap. So, I am getting ready for the prospect of her giving birth and find homes for the kittens. My main problem: I don't know anything about cats giving birth. Essentially, what to expect. I have an idea of where she might try to nest, because we have a small toolshed in the backyard, which is closed and we haven't entered in years, but that one of the walls has openings large enough for a cat to squeeze in. But I've got loads of questions... how many kittens she might have? (She is a small and very young cat, almost the feline equivalent of a 12 year old giving birth)... what can I expect, when to take the kittens, and essentially how to help her, if necesary (taking into account she's feral... she will get near you and knows you are not out to boil her in olive oil, but she won't be touched).
Its a very open question what I have, because I don't know even to ask. Essentially, what must I do?
