hiya Im a veterinary nurse and currently am fostering a preg cat for the rspca.
She is due any day now but We house them in large kittening pens, so they have enough room for a bed, litter tray ect but also so room to move around in.
I find this the best place to keep them for the last few weeks of their pregnancy because they feel safer in a confined space and we can also keep a close eye on them incase they experience any probs.
Most cats just get on with it and will need no assistace. Just check on her once or twice to make sure she is chewing adequtely through the umbilical cord and clearing the membranes from their mouth and noses.
Please mail me if you require anymore advice.
good luck!

Most times when a cat is induced the babies aren't developed completely and you lose the kittens. Human babies have 9 months inside the womb to develop, but kitten babies only have 9 weeks. Each and every day counts for them!!! It would be healthier for the babies if you did not induce the mother!!

You should consult your veterinarian about this. If you cat needs observation while giving birth, a vet's office would be the best place if you are expecting problems.

As female cats get in route of delivering they frequently will change into better affectionate (that distinct "in warmth" affection) and if she is amazingly bonded to you, she may be better conscious of you. (now and again youthful cats are somewhat worrying and could search for your reassurance.) so a procedures because the tomcat's habit, I actual have considered circumstances wherein the tom who sired the muddle will "take an interest" contained in the queen or maybe the neonatal kittens. i'd purely use your ideal judgment, and promises the mother cat a astounding warmth darkish position to have her kittens it is quiet and faraway from the tom. it truly is an effective concept to analyze on her as she is delivering--in spite of the indisputable fact that it truly is often wise to have only one individual (per chance you) examine periodically, and then go away her on my own. Cats are what's called "spontaneous ovulators"--which means they're going to proceed to cycle out and in of warm temperature till they mate, at which element their eggs are released and they change into pregnant. considering your cat is already pregnant, i believe the habit you're seeing isn't yet another warmth cycle, yet purely your mom cat making waiting to furnish her muddle. i don't understand if there's a spay/neuter hospital on your section--in spite of the indisputable fact that the mother cat should be spayed once her mammary glands are dry, and the tomcat should be castrated once plausible, because it truly is extremely plausible he receives her pregnant back contained in the close to destiny. best of success!

I don't know if you can do it, but I wouldn't worry. I can remember when my cat gave birth, I just happened to be there... it was quite amazing to watch, and I tried to help by getting a basket for her, but really, she did everything herself. No-one needed to encourage or teach her those things, she just knew.
If you're really worriedI would ask your vet about it for reassurance, but it almost seems pointless to bother too much about it. Cats are tough. Probably you'll just come back, and she'll have had them, and it'll be fine. Show your respect, not by unnecessary meds, but by leaving her to do her stuff.

This is the worst thing you could even think of doing. Animals give birth when their babies are ready, not before. You could kill both your cat and her kittens by attempting to do this.

That doesn't sound like a very good idea. I think it could be dangerous to the animal if you didn't know what you were doing.
