Re: Chips due kittens in next few days...VERY nervous..

Chips is a lovely looking cat.

With regards to hoping she'll have her kittens where you want her to, the only sure way is to use a kittening pen.

Failing that just provide a couple of cardboard boxes & hope she picks one.


From all the stories on here she is bound to pick the most inconvienient place she can find anyway!

Hopefully she will know what is expected of her this time, pretty much leave her to get on with it herself as some cats don't like too much interference & can manage really well on their own.

The main things to worry about are if she is in active labour for an hour (looking like she's pushing) without producing a kitten. It may be stuck & she may need assistance.
Also that any kittens that are born, mum removes the sac from around their heads really quickly so they can breath.

In most cases healthy kittens thrive & cats are supposed to be the most accomplished natural mothers

Really good luck this time
