I'd a been researching my a.s off for weeks. http://www.persiancats4u.co.za/catbirthaid.htm http://www.2ndchance.info/felinelabor.htm  SignatureToni http://www.cearbhaill.com/kitties.htm > I know that this is absolutely no help at all, but why on earth did you wait > until now to look into what to expect? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Toni > http://www.cearbhaill.com/kitties.htm we didnt know she was preg , we were still waiting 4 her first heat ,,,,, still no signs of babies and she is up a lil more this morning thank you I can't say I've had much luck predicting when my pregnant fosters were going to have their kittens. The one common thing was once the milk came in the kittens were born within a day or so. At this point you should start changing her over to kitten food and be sure to give her canned food not just dry. She needs the extra calories and fluids for milk production. Make sure she has a place out of the way where she won't be disturbed to care for her babies. If she doesn't like where you've set her up she will move them to a place of her choosing. Once the kittens start coming you might want to keep an eye on her as this is her first litter (and hopefully last). It could take a while without there being a problem but make sure that she is taking care of her kittens and herself between delivering them. She needs to remove the sack from the newborn kittens' face pretty promptly after it's born or it won't be able to breath and will die. If she doesn't do this, you should by gently grabbing the membrane and pulling. It will tear easily. If she seems to be taking care of business herself then leave her to her own devices. If there is more than 4 hours between kittens and she seems to be trying to have them, call the vet. If you see a LOT of discharge from her vagina and no kitten is forthcoming, call the vet. If she doesn't clean herself up, you can see contractions for a while and no kitten appears, call the vet. It's better to have a rep at the vets of being a nervous nelly than to wait and have a problem. More than likely things will be fine. Here's a link with more details. They discuss dislodging a stuck kitten. I would hesitate to do that without calling the vet first. http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/breeding.html W >i could use some tips... its my first time with a pregnant cat in > labor she has had show but still no babies any idea on a time frame or > wat to expect next, she has her choice on 2 beds to use if she chooses > either...we would appreciate any tips thanks wendy, i think u have put me more at ease , she did loose some discharg around suppertime yesterday vet said it could still take sometime for her to deliver .... but the longer she seems to take the more i worry...she is a super fluffy cat n im unsure wat her contractions should look like, she seems to be breathing a lil faster seen a ripple down her back today n she seems to want to be close to me ... is the ripple a contraction? gonna be calling vet soon again even tho they will b saying to let her be .... thanks again wendy still nothing......sigh -- > still nothing......sigh aaawww... hang in there, get that camera ready would be really cool if you could video the thing and post a video of a kitten being born but that can be time consuming encoding video, uploading it etc.. but! more and more and more women are super high-tech minded where'as it used to be the men were gadget freaks, now women are gadget freaks I think it great hubby has our digital video camera but i have our digital camera here so gonna get pics ....hopefully soon...... nothing yet will keep posting .....she is extremely lovable right now and normally a very to her self cat ,hopeing i see babies soon Relax. It will start when it starts. I had one of my pregnant moms to the vet to be FIV FeLV tested and they told me she was about to explode. Well, she didn't deliver for another week and a half. She looked huge because she had a litter of seven in there not because she was that close to delivering. Of course I waited impatiently for the whole time because the vet said she'd go soon. lol Another one of the pregnant moms was in labor when the volunteers picked her up from under a parked car. Her labor stopped and she didn't deliver for two days. Mom and all babies doing just fine now of course but that was another long weekend. I fostered three this spring who were pregnant when I got them and all did fine. I'm sure you're girl will too.

I reckon she knows she is close to giving birth she'll do her thing soon enough I reckon yes, keep us posted... no , i meant normally she is not an affectionate cat not a mean one but one that lets you pet her but only for a min and then she is on her way , wont sit on the couch with you for the life of her kinda cat lol never a mean cat just very much wants to do her own thing but for the last few days she cant seem to get enough of me , when i go to check on her or bring her water n food she is sooooo loveable that i can barely move , which is great and from wat vet says is part of her pregnancy, yes she seems very content in his room , i gave my room to my son so that she can have the quiet of being up there in his room , i chose his room cause that is where i found her when she did her hiding thing, and because i have kids 7 , 5 n 2 the vet recommended i seclude her so she will not become nervous plus i also babysit a 9 n 7 yr old so she is best upstirs away from the traffic , im hoping that she progresses along here soon so i can have my bed back but i'm glad to part with it for her , anyways no kittens as of this morning ,,, i figured she would have had them by now because of the show she had on friday evening but when i tried to figure her due date i did estimate the end of the first week of aug , and vet eased me when he said she could still take that long even with the show , which im happy about because i was beginning to worry that something was wrong he said aslong as she is not straining we are ok , so still waiting , let yas know any updates :) thanks again all of yas for being here :) I have never had a cat in labor - but-this is just a thought. You keep saying how lovey she is and she is only 8 1/2 months old. Do you suppose she is in heat and not in labor????? Just a thought. > hi , its me again , just writing a message so that you all know that > she has not had the kittens yet and the vet wants me to continue to > keep her in my sons room upstairs so she can be in the quiet , she > malls me evrytime i see herand again she is not an affectionate cat > will continue to keep you all informed wish me luck > thanks > I have never had a cat in labor - but-this is just a thought. You keep > saying how lovey she is and she is only 8 1/2 months old. Do you > suppose she is in heat and not in labor????? Just a thought. i mean she very well could be , im only going by what the vet told me me when i called them thinking she was sick i told them what was going on with her ( hiding, not really eating , but drinking, sleeping and just resting all the time not wanting to get up when i called her , and having a mucus show ) they told me she was in labour i had a previous post b4 this one where i was looking for wat could have been wrong with her , but only time will tell) im trusting the vet on this one > i mean she very well could be < pregnant> is her belly getting bigger? yaaaaaaaaaaaawn lol yea her belly is getting bigger its hard to see tho she is an extremely fluffy cat but when you touch her belly its like its got kittens on the side i have not been permitted to touch her belly long enough to know if anything is moving in there and her belly is hanging lower now , i meant up there that the way she is acting that she could very well be in heat but that only because of how loveable she is being but she is not sticking her butt up at ya or anything lol , so to me its not in heat all other cats i had totally wanted to have their backside petted when they were in heat fluffy wants her head n neck petted |
