She sounds like she’s in labor. It could be soon or a few more hours. Keep an eye on her tonight.

Okay I need some major advice so mama cat to be is feeding toileting cleaning them and mama cat moves out way and let's her do these to mamas are very closely bonded but I'm unsure now what to do cos mama to be stopped panting and has done nothing but cry for these babies yet shes not delivered her own x

 

[Furballsmom]

I think hang in there with these two mama cats until she has her own, which hopefully enables each of them to then be normal mamas to their own babies - fingers crossed!

 

[beckii]

Its so hard to know what to do but there doesn't seem to be any fights they seem quite cosy just with one not delivering yet is it okay for the babies to nurse off her even though she hasn't had her own i use cimicat for extra nutrients and kitten food for these mamas ...

 

[Furballsmom]

is it okay for the babies to nurse off her

Ummm, I think I'd try and not allow this.

 

[beckii]

Yeah i throught the same hunni so I've done my best with separating for tonight and figure something out in morning xx

 

[Sarthur2]

The kittens should nurse their own mom for her milk, and not take the colostrum from the mom-to-be that she will need for her newborns, but if she is totally miserable unless she is with her sister and her babies, then make a judgment call. Her own babies will be here soon enough, then the moms can nurse each other’s kittens to their hearts’ content as long as all babies are getting enough milk.

 

[beckii]

ive tried everything to get them to separate tonight nothing has worked mama to be gets very stressed and other gets stressed without her i dont know what else i can do to get her to leav her babies alone xx

 

[Furballsmom]

Do you have a cage that you could put one of the mamas into, or have one behind a baby gate or put up a temporary screendoor, in other words a situation where they can see each other but the kittens are only able to be with their rightful mama?

 

[beckii]

At the moment mama that due is in a large dog pet carrier thingy its massive I put litter tray and food init hun and left blanket half open so they can still see eacgother ive had no other choice but to intervene as one that due any day was overtaking and then mama in turn was staying away from them x
