Answer 1

Hey There,
You may notice her nipples are pink and large! When she is close she will start to lactate and you can find that out by squeezing a little on her nipple to see if any milk comes out!
Keep checking her private area for mucus or blood or a bubble this will indicate that she is in labour! I hope you have made her a nesting bed for when she gives birth you need to have it in a quiet room away from noise and any other cats because when she is in labour and there are loud noises or people or other cats she will delay the birth and it isn't good for mother or babies! Another way to tell when she is labour she will become very restless getting up and sitting down alot and cleaning her private area! When she is labour just pat her and keep her calm, if this is her first litter she will be nervous and not really know what is going on and she could bite or hiss at you so be careful and just reassure her! Now after you have been a bubble coming and it has popped that was the water breaking there will be a baby coming any moment, you will be her face all pushed up like she is pushing you know it is coming and you will see waves in her tummy when you see a bubble it will be a baby now the first could take a little while to come out but don't stress! But when it is out and its still in the sac and she doesn't seem to be doing anything you need to intervene and rip the bag open you will need to be wearing gloves and you will need scissors to cut the cord. Once it is out and the placenta is out you can let her eat it but never to many as she will vomit and have the runs! Now dont panic if it takes half an hour to an hour in between babies! My cat held her last one for up to 4 hours!

Answer 2

Usually as soon as you notice they're pregnant, the deliver, so try to keep a close eye on her. A cat I had for years would always have her kittens in a closet or under a bed. She may not want to have anything to do with how you want her to do it. Hopefully you keep her inside all the time. My cat would start meowing a lot, they don't look like they're in pain, but she'll pant when she gives birth. You don't need anything, she'll take care of it all. They come out in a sack and she tears it off and cleans them up. Don't interfere if you see her giving birth. They know what to do.

Answer 3

Excuse me? Are you saying that you allowed your cat to get pregnant and you know NOTHING.

No wonder all the animal rights groups are up in arms.

Get your kitty spayed. You can even have it done while she is pregnant.

That would be the route to go since you are so ignorant

Answer 4

when a cat gives birth just give her a towel and leave her in peace and check on her once in a while. she might want privacy when it comes to having kittens. :)

Answer 5

just make a bed in the closet (that you don't use very much) and check on her every now and then and if she is having her kittnes you can just watch but dont iterfear.
