That could have been her mucus plug.  You can help her clean down there if she'll let you.  And if she likes her belly rubbed that will help her too.

Thanks Handsom Kitty, and she does like it when i rub her belly but we go through a little fight when i try to clean her rear...

If she is having discharge then she is likely getting very close to her labor and delivery time.

 

[prettykitty215]

Thanks Sarthur2 , can you give me an estimate of when the the kitties will come?

 

[Sarthur2]

Honestly, it sounds like any day now! Most likely in the next two or three days. Can you post a picture of her?

 

[prettykitty215]

I will post one as soon as i get home Sarthur2

Sorry it took so long to reply, I went to go to sit with her and she sat on my lap. All of a sudden she starts panting like crazy and more discharge comes and after about 30 mins she started pushing and meowing in pain, she had 2 healthy kittens so far but I'm really concerned, I can feel at least 2 more kittens in her stomach and her breathing has turned to normal and she isn't making any attempt to push them out...is she taking a break?!

 

[Sarthur2]

Yep, just relax. It could be a few hours. She's resting. Could even be tomorrow!

So now I'll need pictures of the babies too! Congrats so far. Are they nursing?

She waited for you! Sweet!

Thank you so much Sarthur2 , you were right, she was just taking a break, here she is with her four lovely kittens

Aww. I'm so glad all is well. How much later did the other two come?

 

[handsome kitty]

Congratulations!  I see at least one who looks like mom. 

 

[prettykitty215]

Thank you very much Sarthur2 and Handsome Kitty!! They 3rd and 4th kitties came about 35 mins after the 2nd. But I was very surprised when my cat sat on my lap and started giving birth, she showed no change of behavior, mood, or appetite, her rear wasn't even swollen

 

[Sarthur2]

Some cats can surprise us like that. Mine was very calm as well. Like people - everyone has a different disposition.

 

[prettykitty215]

Thanks for the help Sarthur2 , I was also wondering, the mother shows no signs of distress or anything anymore but I still feel something in there, could it just be her stomach or am I feeling another kitten?

 

[handsome kitty]

It could be her uterus you're feeling.  It takes a few days to shrink back down.  A little discharge is normal as well.

 

[Sarthur2]

Handsome Kitty is correct. Just like human moms, cats tend to be a bit lumpy after giving birth until everything shrinks.

 

[prettykitty215]

Oh oaky, thanks handsome kitty , I put her food and water near her too but how\where she going to stool? (She's not litter box trained)

 

[Sarthur2]

Put a litter box right there nearby and she will figure it out. Where has she been going up to now?
