Cat labor (Help)

reply to post by Givenmay

My cat has been missing for a few hours now, not normal!

Don't worry Givenmay she's probably just found a private place.
Most of the time they do just fine, without human intervention.
Unless you live by the Nevada Test Site & that's Another story.
I won't scare you with it. Your kitty will let you know.

This is taking forever!
My cat has'nt had her kids yet!
*Just an update*

Let us know how many cute little meow meows you end up with Givenmay.

I like kitties. I can pet a kitty all day long.

I bet you could pet a kitty all day long!
It's kind off addicting, huh?

I had a big ol tabby named tigger, He was the most awesome cat in the world. He would wait for me by the door when I would come home meowing a welcome home.

Best cat ever.

Freaked out when I was in the shower or bath though. always came in and looked quite concerned.

like he was saying "dude your getting that water ALL OVER YOU!"

Well, this is a Tabby just like the other one I have!
I had too much to drink one night and went to a friends party, and ended up with another cat!
I'm hoping she will have them tonight when it storms!

Yea, mine all watch me take a bath, and try to drink the water!

yea a lot of girls end up with another kitty after having too much to drink

reply to post by whatukno

...lol, true!
too many kitty's can be a bad thing so, I'm going to try to stop bringing them home!

BE careful...

My families Cat had 2 litters... She is a TINY cat, about 7-8 lbs...

Her first litter went fine, 3 little kitties, all on her own... nothing bad happen... she had them on the bathroom Mat... and then moved them into my mums closet...

THE second litter did not go well...

She went to the same place in the bathroom... and after the first kitten came out... she stopped... after a couple of hours with no more kittens comeing out, we took her to the Vet...

The second kitten that was coming out, got turned around, and was stuck side ways...

There were still 4 babies in her... and the doctor was able to save 2 of them... it was so scary though... my mum was FREAKING out, screaming at my dad to take her to the vet, after a couple hours of saying, 'Shes fine, let her do her thing..." my dad finnaly caved... our cat would have died if we didn't take her to the vet.

the cat should be fine.. but if something strange is happening, get her to a vet, you don't want to lose her...

Guess what?

My kitty, is having babies right now, YaY!
She has had 4 and there are more coming!

So far everything is going just fine, she's doing good!
I will be posting pictures later, they look like lil aliens!

That's so cool, givenmay. Can't wait to see the cute little pics. Did she use the cute little box you got for her?

reply to post by hsur2112


Yes, she is using the box...
She's still only had four...
I feel more in her though, and she keeps pushing but, nothing!

reply to post by whatukno


...LOL...your crazy!
I will let you know...

HOW EXCITING FOR YOU!!!!!!

Having kittens is such an exciting time for a human. I am definitely jealous. I can't wait for your pictures either!

Tela

Sadi just gave birth to two stillborns!...

I took a few pics but, I'm going to wait until she's done with labor to see if anymore are alive!

As long as this has been going on it may be time to make a call to the vet. I am not sure that kitty labor should be this long.

I'm starting to get worried* here.

You probably have read this already but here it is if you haven't

In general, it may take up to six hours for a queen to give birth to all her kittens. The first kitten should arrive within an hour of the start of active labor, and subsequent kittens will take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. She will rest for 15 minutes or so between kittens, and during this time she should be allowed to nurse and clean the kittens that have been born. If you have been keeping the kittens in another box, move them back with the mother cat and help them find a nipple. This is also a good time for you to offer her food or a sip of KMR or plain, unflavored yoghurt. Although in rare cases a healthy kitten is born after the seven hour period, you should take the queen and her kittens to the vet for a checkup once seven hours passes and you are sure there are other kittens inside.

*note: when I say I am getting worried, it means you probably should listen.

reply to post by whatukno


Well, I'm pretty sure she is done now.
She looks okay, no hard breathing like she was.
Too late to call the vet.

She ended up with four alive and two not responding.

I'll post a few pics soon.

Thankx Wuk

Thank you guys for all your help!
The mommy is doing fine!
