Had a 'show' - how long until 1st kitten?

Hi all

As I said on my other post this morning - Chicken had a pinky-mucus show at about 8am this morning and I was just wondering how long roughly things start to happen afterwards? I know there are no guarrantees or anything but a guide would be great.

She's eating, drinking and sleeping as normal - no change really in her behaviour other than allowing me to stroke her tummy - she would bite and kick me if I tried that before today but is now purring when I gently stroke her tum

Thanks for your help

Well Zelda had show along with her waters breaking at about 12.10 today and we now have 3 perfect kittens - I am guessing this was a very fast labour though.

Best of Luck!

Both my Queens had shows about half an hour before they delivered. Are there any contractions ?

Millie loses her plug the day before she goes into labour. But at least you know things are on their way.

Ok that's a slight relief - I was everso worried there as zip all is happening as others have reported it should.

Thank you x

Re: Had a 'show' - how long until 1st kitten?

keep a close eye on her, she may go into labour anytime, or she could wait a day or so, but dont leave her to long if nothing happens within a day or so contact the vets and ask their advise,

Re: Had a 'show' - how long until 1st kitten?

I'll be alright once she gets going as I show and breed my dogs...it's just the worrying and waiting having never had a cat give birth in my company before and not knowing what will happen when etc.

She isn't leaking any fluid and (don't picture this lol) but her bits don't smell at all. She is scoffing her tea as I type and has been wrestling with a piece of cardboard she ripped off one of her kittening boxes earlier. She is her normal self.

Had a cuddle with her before feeding her and the babies are still moving so I'm just hoping things kick off soon or I will cry!
