I'm not sure if you mean you left her earlier before the birth started or not, but I would strongly recommend you don't leave her at all now until you're more than confident she has finished. She is obviously very attached to you, and she will be counting on you being there now until it's all over

Is the second one looking OK?

no i left to get kids food when she was in first stages havnt left her side since the kittens started coming second one trying to find food now to waiting on placenta both look to be black 1 with white one plain black and yes still purring till push time them meowing not a bad one though

Did you see my question about the scales a few posts back?

Sounds like everything is going smoothly so far!

My girl barely made a sound throughout, except for a little grunt when she was pushing. Some queens scream the place down though! Some of the vids I watched on youtube before hand put the frighteners on my something awful

Edit: If Baby lays down, you can gently part her fur to find a nipple or two, then gently pop the little ones to them

yep got the scales will weigh them when she all done and they are dry... she not screaming the house down thank god i rkn i would cry =(


3rd out

If you can, weigh them as each one dries hun. You could be in for a loooooooong ride, so some (if there are anymore?) could be hours away yet.

Given Baby's history I would step up the closeness on how you monitor the little ones hun, just to be safe. A few grams will make all the difference in the first few days. If they haven't gained any weight in the first 12 hours there may be a problem, the quicker you find these things, the quicker it can be dealt with

yep all placentas sighted and eaten =) am i allowed to touch them?? cant get a proper pic as they feeding and mum very fluffy ... she had the 3rd at 5.05pm and hasnt had a contraction since

Yeah you sure can Just make sure you've washed your hands thoroughly with something none scented, and you'll be fine Best to get them used to being handle asap, and mum used to you handling them for weighing etc.

Obviously, right now it is only best to give them a quick look over and weigh (like less than a 30second job), no cuddles just yet. If Baby starts looking distressed with you handling them just stop for now. Best way to avoid this is by popping the scales right next to them so she can see what you're doing while you weigh them

She could well be done at 3, but she could just be resting too. Some queens can go 24 hours between kittens, just to warn you
