Make a place for the cat to have her kittens. A carboard box with a towel in it will do fine. She needs peace and quiet so she can do her stuff.
Cats usually have no problems having their kittens all by themselves and taking care of them, but they need a quiet and protected place where they are not disturbed.
Cats can have 6 or more kittens in one litter, so just keep her protected and quiet until she is all done.
This can take a few hours. Don't worry, she know what she is doing!
When all the kittens are born, Momma will usually 'wash' them. This means, actually dry them, because when they are born their fur is all wet. The cat's rough tongue not only dries the little kitten's fur but also helps their circulation.
When they are all born, Momma will usually lay on her side and let the kittens nurse. You can then offer her a little water for herself. She will be pretty exhausted, because giving birth is hard work!
Congratulations on being a new cat Mom!

Yes I agree sometimes it can take longer than an hour for the next one to arrive in my experience, the last litter took two days as she had 7 in her litter, the larger kittens seem to come out first, it may be that the smaller ones need more time to develop. My cat gets stressed out and will follow me so i have to sit there for hours until the contractions start.
Because there had been so many in her previous litter i waited half a day before considerring ringing the vet, this is because it is also dangerous for the kitties when the mother has to have a section, it is so distressing.

I just did a quick search, found a good looking site that says over a six hour period with a kitten every 30 to 60 minutes is pretty normal. It does say if she has heavy contractions for 60 minutes without producing a kitten she needs help from the vet. Here's the place I found it:
marvistavet.com/html/body_giving_birth_to_kittens.html hope I typed all that right.
Good luck with your little miracle!
Whups - it also said if she's stressed, she can actually stop labor for a day and start again the next day. This doen't sound to me like it's be too good for the kittens left inside tho...anyway, check out the site, it looks like a good one.

The mother will take care of it but if she goes too long then take here and the kittens to the vet because a kitten could be stuck in her birth canal
After this is over get her spayed so she does not have any more kittens

There may well be more. I had a pregnant foster once who took almost 24 hours to deliver the entire litter. I sat with her until I couldn't stay awake any longer. When I came back in the morning to check on her, she promptly pushed out a fourth. Seems she wanted some company during the process.

she should have all the kittens within 24 hours. just relax and keep an eye on her. she is just tired and needs to rest she might take little cat naps in between but just check on her and she should be okay.
