When and How does one determine that a cat is done birthing babies?

Question

My cat started dialating (sp?) about 10pm two days ago, she then had her first kit yesterday at 5pm, her next one was about 10pm and her last was at 3am this morning. She moving around enough to eat and potty then right back into the kitten box. I'm having a difficult time feeling moevement in her belly, but I can't be sure since it took so long between babies. Other than going to the vet and paying big $$'s for a sonagram, how else can one tell when the birthing process is over?

BTW, my cat is a white Egyptian Mau with white eyes and brown spots, the suspected father is a black persian. Selling the kits. Anybody interested?

BTW, sorry for forgetting the word "mix" my cat is an egyptian mau mix - obvios from the striations/spots and body structure.

So there!

Answer 1

If she hasn't given birth to all the kittens she will start becoming very agitated. within 24 hours. My guess is she is probably done or will be soon.

Good luck, sounds like they will be beautiful kittens

Answer 2

Well firt off you have to check that nothing is still comin out then check her belly if it is moving then wait and once she is done she shold fall asleep (as this process takes a lot of energy) feel her belly and no more movement (other than breathing) and your all done congradulations you have probably 8 kits

Answer 3

The easiest way to determine when she is done giving birth, she will deliver the placenta. it is a small fleshy colored tissue. But as long as the kittens are healthy she will rarely leave their side.

Answer 4

BTW, you shouldn't advertise your cat as being an Egyptian Mau unless you're sure she is. if you sell the kittens telling people they're half Egyptian Mau, that's false advertising - which quite frankly isn't cool.

Answer 5

Cool it. Let nature take it's course and enjoy the process.
