I would just keep them seperated. And have them fixed.

first off it is true, especially if those arent his kittens. seperate the two. the room you put the female in should have dark spots, exct.. just becareful of putting her in a room with any expensive furniture or anything cuz the birthing process can get messy. i would prolly put her in a tall large box. give her water, she wont eat if she is in true labor. but she will eat afterwards. it sounds like she is really close to delievering, so i would keep a eye on her, and if not kitties in a couple of hours call the vet, especially if she is a first time momma cuz kitties can get stuck. other than that, you should be able to leave her alone, just peek on her from time to time and she should be able to do it on her own. After a kitten pops out the mum will usually eat the sac and afterbirth. gross sounding i know, but it has important nutrients and what not. then she will lick kitty and kitty will either wander or suckle. just make shure she gets the sacs of their snouts all the way. and that should be pretty much all that you will need to do. i dont think cats have a tendency for laying on their babies, but they migth, so just peek in on her. and congrats!

Keep the tom cat apart from the mother and the kittens, his job is done. The mother should be in a room by herself. A little blood is normal, don't worry. Keep her in a room where you can check in, but won't be obtrusive. She can do it pretty much on her own. You need to check in to make sure there are no life threatening complications to her!
Go online and see if you can read up on it. We've had cats that gave litters with no problems, but not every delivery goes as smoothly!

Well, I'm going thru this right as we speak. My vet called this am and said I need to keep the male far away from the female. He could try to "mate" with her because of the hormones she's giving off. This could hurt her. Also, the vet made me aware that male cats have been known to kill newborn kittens. The vet sent me instructions to follow when it comes to helping my cat in labor. So far, what you are telling me sounds normal. She should be really clingy to you and "whiny". When the labor is near- she should appear restless & be panting. She needs a LARGE box- with an open area that you can assist her if she needs it. Line the box with newspaper- it's easier to remove the mess left from the birth & will not disturb the mom and kitties when you pull it from beneath them. If this is her first litter- she may want you to be with her. She can even keep her labor from progressing if you leave her. Try to stick around, if she doesn't know what to do or doesn't do it correctly- the kittens could suffocate, get blocked in the vaginal canal, etc. Just try to stick around to help. Ofcourse- the sticking nearby part is only if she behaves like she wants you around-otherwise, just stay within earshot. Email me if you need me to get you anymore info. My vet's packet was really informative and I feel a little more comfortable about what I might need to do.He even sent me an average timeline of what to expect for different breeds of cats. (like large headed vs small headed, etc. ) Good Luck!

Close the female in a separate room but leave window open - bring in the litter box, water & food. She will need a warm soft lined area (box, drawer, etc) but will clean up alot of the afterbirth. She will take care of the litter herself so a vet is not really needed. Just give her a quiet place and check on the progress.

Congre!!!
Yes keep Tom out and let mommy do her job...
Put her in a warm place and make sure she is not disturb and don't keep peeping or she will move the kittens.
Pls let her in peace and put food and fresh water for her everyday and make sure is one person doing it.
Don't open door too wide or she will be afraid of people and Tom too..
Good luck!!!

Shut the Tom in a room, and leave the mother to take care of herself, except give her a warm, comfortable place to lie, with food & water nearbye.
