Pregnant cat ready to pop---any tips??

I HAVE NEWS!!!

went to bed last night and left her sleeping in the hallway, thought 'oh,she will wake us if needed'.woke at 6.15 this morning to hear a squeaking noise coming from the built in wardrobe where we put her box last night....and she had delivered 3 beautiful babies!!!!

She has had a further two so 5 in total so far!!!Think she has maybe has one or two more to go as her stomach is still swollen but no contractions for the past 45minutes since the last was born.

I was present for the last 2 births(obviously) and she just laid on her side,her stomach contracted,she strained whilst still laying down and out one came!no meowing,squeling,nothing!!

She was obviously not as far along as we thought, two of the kittens are black and fluffy...so it can't have been the male tabby who got her when we got back from paris!remember I said a few days ago about the black fluffy male in the garden staring at Tiggy who was in season?!must have been him!!

I will keep you updated and upload pics when I am sure she has no more to birth, don't want to upset her!

she is curled around them all, a few are latched on but others are just dozing-if they were hungry they'd feed wouldn't they?as she is curled round all of her teats arent exposed so I hope they are all getting what they need x

Ahhhhhh yay!!!! About time too!
What a lovely surprise to wake up to :0)
Can't wait for pics!
Ohhh I remember the morning after boo gave birth there was a cat sat right in the middle of our front garden making a god awfull noise!
They must know!
It was quite nice to actually see the culprit though!

If they were hungry they'd be looking for a teat and squealing. They've probably already fed and are letting the others have a go.

If the two openings at the back end are close together it's a female and far apart it's a male. If the whole litter are the same sex that may not help you much!


More pictures please

If any are tri-coloured they are female.
All 3 coloured cats are female.

Well, we have stayed at 5-which is more than enough!lol

she has not left their side all day,they are constantly feeding.i put tabby some food on a plate in the room when I woke first thing and discovered her, food has not been touched.hubby went in an hour ago and held the plate to her,she pretty much ate the whole plate of food!

I still can't quite believe that she took it upon herself to get in the birthing box we made and birth three of them before we got up!not a peep from her,no sound,nothing!

she is so beautiful and I am so proud of her.she is still in the box in our built in wardrobe,we have put a litter tray and food etc in our bedroom and shut the door to leave her in peace.

I will upload pics, once I find how to!!think someone put a link for spartacus to use so I will try that.thanks for your well wishes!
