call the vet and tell them the situation and ask if they would make a house call (kittens shouldn't be moved at that age)

What did she eat that was bad? My cat eats things that are not suppose to be edible and he acts as though he is trying to barf every few minutes. He has done this twice. He ate my pajamas and he has eaten my throw pillows, and the tie on the glad trash bags. I took him to the vet twice and they did 3 x-rays. They said his intestines were balled up and that was a sign of a foreign object. They waited 2 days and the x ray was better. I had to give him Lax air, which is a hairball remedy and laxative. He has survived both times with a few days of dry heaving. You should take your cat to the vet to make sure it isn't anything else and get their opinions. My cat was going to have surgery, but they decided against it. I will pray for your Mommy kitty. I am sure that your kittens will be fine. It is good for the babies to be near Mommy, but I would at least call a vet. They have emergency vets. Best wishes to you and your kitty family.

it really depends on what she ate, if it is that bad for her,the kittens feeding on her could also potentially get sick ,and I'm afraid they wouldn't be strong enough to survive...may want to get a tiny baby bottle(can find at a pet supply store probably) and feed the babies formula until she is well again,but if the barfing doesn't stop soon, you have to get her to the vet,she can starve this way and become very dehydrated,not good for her or the babies,she will not be able to produce enough milk for them.Just remember that the babies can be contaminated by whatever your cat ate,her diet is theirs for the time being.

Ok, you need to ring the vet as it may not be that she ate something, rather it could be due to the birthing process.
I would just keep a really close eye on her and when she is going to throw up put a towel or cloth under her mouth.

Are you sure it was something she ate? Keep her hydrated by offering water or possibly canned food if she will eat. She needs lots of energy right now. If she is still vomiting by morning, she needs to see the vet as she will need fluids.
