My cat is going to have kittens. Will she let me know when she is having them?

Answer 1

Looking for a place to have them, and loud meowing.She'll probably start running around the place first, acting really crazy.

Answer 2

Cats would usually rather go it alone. My girl had 2 litters (both unplanned) and both were under a bed. Generally they pick out where they are going to have their litter ahead of time. If she's been hanging out under a bed more, or in a darker/quieter area a lot, that's probably where she's going to head.
Let her give birth, and don't bother her too much.... check on her every half hour or so. You should really only intervene if she's having a problem. If she has picked somewhere to birth that is incovenient or unsafe for the babies, let her finish and quiet down and relax before you try to move her or them. There's a good chance that she'll still try to move them back to where she originally chose.
Big problems can arise so make sure you know where the closest emergency vet is.
Good luck!

No she will just go hide somewhere. I did notice that no one told you why the female cat hides to have her kittens. They do that because the male cats will kill the kittens, because if she has lost her kittens she will go into heat again sooner. So my vet told me. Also once you have found them DO NOT MOVE THEM, OR TOUCH THEM. They will come out when they are ready. Also give her just a little more food, then after she weans the kittens around 6 weeks you can cut back to what you had been feeding her.

Answer 4

My cat let me know she would not stay in the room if I was not in there she came and got me from my living room I sat with her for 4 hours while she had 5 kittens and the last one was dead and she could not have it so I had to call the vet and the vet talked me through how to pull the kitten and help her birth it.

Answer 5

I had a very interesting experience when our cat was giving birth. She was in our spare room and she started meowing really loudly. I was sitting on the floor and she kept trying to sit on my lap. I should NOT have been sitting on the floor and the next thing I know, she let out this big MEOW and suddenly took a chomp on my hand and would not let go! It really hurt! So I carefully shook my hand and she let go. She started running about and the next thing I know...plop! First kitten came out. She went into the closet and had about five more kittens. But that first kitten I claimed for my own, because, heck...I earned it!!

Answer 6

Yes, if you are at work, the cat will probably e-mail you when her water breaks. If you are out and about town, carry a pager so that the cat can send you a text message.

Then you can meet her at the cat hospital in time with the video camera and all of the family to capture this miracle in action!

Answer 7

When my cat was pregnant the night she was going into labor she wouldn't leave me alone. She was real affectionate and I had no idea why. I ended up waking up at 4 am to meowing kittens. She ended up having them on the bed right next to me. You should be able to tell by her behavior, you may want to set up a box for her w/ blankets in it and show her where its at (probably a quiet place w/ her food and water near). She may want to go in there when shes ready as it somewhat enclosed and her own space. Good luck! =)

Answer 8

I have been through this twice within the last six months, my cat will eat and eat and eat and her teets will get really big and she cant get comfortable, and she meows all the time and wants to be around people and finds a place to have her kittens and if you have other animals she will be really a little witch too them, she will hiss and bite them. well at least that is what my cat did

Answer 9

I help my aunt deliver her cat's kittens usually, so i know a little but not much...She will probably want to find a cozy and dark spot. She will want to be comfortable. Cats can actually delay births if they have to, and they usually do it when they are alone. My aunt's cat had them in the litter box :-s yuK! Ask your local vet and he/she will give you some good information. Hope that helped, sorry i couldn't tell u much, Good luck and enjoy the kittens!

Answer 10

most likely not a cat will purposely try to hide her nest of kittens to protect them. Just keep your ears open for whining or weird meows. If you do happen to catch her during birth try to keep her relaxed and the room quiet. She is in enough stress already.

Answer 11

My cat let me know she was ready, but I had another cat who didn't, so it depends on the cat. One way or another, you will eventually know. Happy Kitten Day! (I love kittens).
