However, if the cat is under a year old, or you have an older cat that has gone through multiple births, there could be problems ahead. This article will give you tips on how to tell what a normal pregnancy is, and what to look for should a vet need to intervene. It will also tell you how to prepare for an emergency, which if you have a pr! egnant cat in your home, you should always plan on there being an emergency. Then perhaps, there won't be!Items you need prior to laborClean towels (plenty of these!). Blunt scissors (to cut the umbilical cord should the momcat not chew it off). Dental floss (to tie off the kitten's umbilical cord). Baby's suction bulb (to clean out the mucous from the mouth or the nose of the kitten). An adjustable heating pad and thick cover to go over it (to set the newborns on and keep them warm). A small cardboard box lined with thick towels (for the kittens if mom rejects them). Your vet's phone number. Nesting areaYou should provide your cat with a dry, quiet, warm area with nesting materials such as towels or blankets 4 to 7 days before labor is estimated to begin. This allows your cat to become familiar with her surroundings. This location should be free of other cats or excessive human activity.Moving a pregnant cat or changing her environment may delay labor, or cause her to move! her kittens. She may even neglect her kittens.Stages of Cat L! abor Twelve to forty-eight hours before the onset of labor your cat will seem more anxious and restless. She will often begin looking for a place to nest and have the litter. Cats that are about to go into labor will usually lick their abdomen and vagina persistently. There is often a discharge that precedes birthing but the mother may lick it away before you see it. You may notice that she stops eating, although some cats will eat throughout the entire process. You may see her breathing become more rapid. In some cases the mother will sit with her mouth open and yowl loudly or pace. As her labor progresses and uterine contractions begin she will lay on her side and frequently squat and press downward to push the kittens out. What happens next?The first kitten should arrive within an hour after the onset of contractions. Additional kittens could arrive immediately or up to 2 hours in between. Not as common, but possible after delivery of the first kitten(s) labor and contra! ctions will cease for 24 to 48 hours and then labor will begin and more kittens will be delivered....answers 3:put down towles or old blankets let her choose the spot so she can be comfortable when my cat went into labor she wouldnt let me leave her side she followed me around while trying to give birth so after u put the towles or whatever down just make sure she donsent follow youanswers 4:make sure she is comfortable in her chosen spot, and then leave her alone. on the whole cats are perfectly able to deal with birth unaided, and most of them will be less stressed if you aren't constantly in her face. Check on her every half hour or so and if she appears to be in distress, or straining too much or you are just not happy about how she looks call the vet.In the meantime do some research on the internet to see how to look after a nursing cat....answers 5:why was she not spayed before this?answers 6:lay down a bunch of towels in the corner and if she's giving birth, let her ! do so.answers 7:She has natural instincts as to what to do. Please leav! e her be in a quiet place. My cat delivered on my bed (gross! but she felt comfortable there and delivered 5 kittens over three hours of time). She'll eat the placenta, that's good, don't stop her. Don't stress her by trying to "watch" and also, let her choose where she'll do it and where she'd like to "hide" her babies. Mom knows best. I'm thrilled for you and hope you have a wonderful litter of kittens who all get GREAT homes. Be careful when looking for homes. I had a stupid woman RETURN a kitten (and I INTERVIEWED and SCREENED everyone!). It went like this. 20 hours had passed...she knocked at my door, said, "I'm on the way to the Humane Society to drop off this stupid cat. It peed in the house and meow-ed all night" (ummmm, six week old kitten in unfamiliar territory, torn away from mom and unsure where the cat box in the new house was, DUH). I thanked GOD she chose to stop by first, and to this day, my youngest son tells the story of how "HIS" cat came home. Awwww. Th! e others got great homes, and I got the mama fixed, because there are too many animals dying in shelters. For instance, people take an animal in after it's done being a cute baby, and that animal dies in 72 hours at the pound (no lie) about 98% of the time! Please enjoy your kittens and get her fixed after. Please....
