Cat Labor

Well, an animal in labor doesn’t want any food…Is this her first litter? I’d give her til morning, if that’s the case…then I’d haul her AND her babies into the vets.

Still at two- Vet said it may take a little longer - gave her a shot - not sure what it was - husband doesn’t remember. Two more babies to go though. She should be done by morning according to the vet

My dogs don’t eat but they will drink milk, it brings on their contractions, It may do the same thing for cats but because it normally will give the loose stool, I wouldn;t use it much,

Well, she is under the basement stairs (ironically in the same spot her sister had kittens over the summer) but once every hour or so she comes into my office and howles at me until I pet her. I tried staying with her for a little while but then she wont stay in the box with the two kittens who are already born. As for the milk, my sister said to try it if nothing else worked.

iF SHE IS NERVOUS ABOUT BEING WATCHED IT MAY HINDER HER PROGRESS. Try leaving her in a qiet spot for a couple of hours and see how she goes. They do this all the time in the wild and know what to do. Its usually humans that cause the interferance with the birthing by being too inquisitive. I have to say it is cool to watch but yeh try giving her some space.

Oh milk will help her contrations but I wouldn’t let her have it. Does she drink milk often?

Leave her alone if she is doing ok. Most animals, no matter how close to you they are want to have their babies alone. So if you are watching her this may be delaying the delivery.

Just check on her every now and then and make sure she is clean, kittens are doing ok and are clean and then leave her alone.

No milk

anyone know how many babies the cat had??

Thanks - it is her first litter.
