It's out - quite a deformed head - still born - little boy - no wonder she had problems with it

Aww I'm sorry to hear that, Good luck with the rest xx lisa xx

Hi Spid,

Sorry I didn't see your messages earlier. Sorry about the little one.

A breach in cats is nothing to worry about - a lot of kittens are born breach. Most of the first kittens born to my girls are breech for some reason - don't know why.

If the girl is straining heavily for an hour, then in my opinion you need the vet. These things do change from girl to girl though. If she looks like she's exhausted, then get her to a vet sooner. If the kitten is halfway out, but she's having problems with the last bit, get a clean, dry flannel and grab what you can of the kitten, and WITH HER CONTRACTIONS pull gently downwards towards her heels. Do not pull unless she is having a contraction as it will injure her.

Now the first one has cleared the way, the others should come quite easily.

Good luck!

No further progress - will let you know when there is

little boy was 165g HUGE no wonder she had trouble!

That is huge. My girl had problems with a 145g a couple of weeks ago, so no wonder poor Minni took a while to get that one out! It was the first kitten born, and all the others were smaller, so I hope this is the case for you too!
