Mandy,
Whether this is normal or not I dont know. What I do know is that the last litter of kittens that my cat had was kind of similar, except she delivered 5 kittens and was walking around just fine until 24 hours later when she delivered 1 more, at that time she started pacing back and forth and meowing quite loudly. I am not a veterinarian but it is my opinion that if she is walking around fine and does not appear to be in any pain she is okay. Hopefully she will deliver the rest of her litter soon. I would suggest you keep a close eye on her and if anything seems abnormal or she appears to be in any serious pain you should consult a veterinarian so that neither the mother or the kittens are endangered. By the way I have 8 cats. And dont forget to get your cat spade as soon possible so that she doesnt get pregnant again. slparrott2000

if she's not in labor anymore, than she probably only had the one. normally cats birth all of their kittens within a couple of hours. if she is still acting like there are more to come than get her to the vet...she needs help delivering. watch her carefully for changes in her behavior. if you have a questions, you can always call a vet and see what they say before you take her in. that way there isn't the unnecessary trip or expense.
congrats on the little one and good luck!

Some cats have only one kitten in the litter depending on the breed, but if you think there's more to come there might be a kitten stuck in the birth canal. Call the vet ASAP and have him check her - he should be able to make a house call.

NO....my family and I raise dogs and use to raise cats as well and trust me you definitely need to get her to the vet as soon as possible...they will start by giving her an oxytocin shot to try and naturally quicken her labor and if that doesn't work they will perform a c-section...but you need to take her to the vet this could result in death for her and the kittens both.

If your cat has not expelled all of her kittens, then it is very likely she and the kittens inside her will die if you don't take her to a vet right away. They will give her an oxytocin shot to make her uterus contract and get rid of whatever is left inside. If you don't do this and she doesn't birth the rest of her kittens, she may die from infection.

Yes it's normal. If she'll let you, touch her belly gently with your fingertips to see if she has anymore kittens inside her. If you're not sure, take her to the vet. Better safe than sorry with your cat.

You might want to call the vet. Is her tummy still moving like she is still with kittens? If so call the vet.

Sounds a bit weird. Take her to the vet if she doesn't have anymore by tomorrow.

No, that's not normal at all. You need to take her to the vet NOW. Best wishes

you need to take her to the vet asap- one of the kitten could be hung up which is preventing the others from coming out- they might all die if you dont.
