Pregnant Cat

[Littlekitten]

My cat has had two kittens. It has been two days sense the second was born. I can still feel movement inside her belly so i know she has at least one more kitten. She is also still bleeding (a very little amount) but she does not seem like she is in labor. Is there anyway i can help her get the last kitten out? Please help i am worried about her. She is my first pregnant cat.

No worries! If she has another kitten to deliver it will come when it is ready.

It is not unusual for kittens to be spaced days apart. If mom mated several days apart, she could have a kitten who is not quite ready to be born yet.

As long as mom is in no distress it should be okay to wait it out.

Some minor bleeding and spotting is normal for 7-10 days after cats deliver kittens while the uterus heals.

Thank you so much!!!!

 

[Sarthur2]

Sure! Keep us posted as to how things are going.

So still no more kittens. Sadly the kitten movement has stopped . But now we are facing another issue. It seems one of the two kittens are not growing like the sibling is

The runt probably needs supplementing.

Syringe Feeding

The runt is always nursing

Still no more kittens and the movment inside her belly has stopped. But now we have another issue. We toke in pregnant outside cat. We think she is ready to give birth. Her stomach is very hard and she is sleeping most of the time. We are worried cause her stomach has been hard for about 5 days.

It’s normal for the belly to be hard at the end. It will stay that way until she has her kittens.

Do you have the new cat in her own space?

Thank you for bringing her in!

 

[Littlekitten]

Yes they are both in their own spaces unable to get to each other. (Both mamas like each other) but we did not want to risk it. Do you know about how long the stomach can be hard before i should be worried

 

[Sarthur2]

There is no need to worry. It will stay hard until she has the kittens.

 

[Littlekitten]

Thank you

 

[Littlekitten]

Okay i have another question. So the kittens and mamas have to be outside (our roommates wont allow them inside. So bring them inside is out of the question) the weather is hitting the 90s and they over heat. Is there anyway i can help them stay cool? (They are in shade and the mom always has water)

 

[talkingpeanut]

Where do you have them confined outside?

 

[Littlekitten]

On the front pourch. They are in a pet playpin

 

[Sarthur2]

I’m confused. You have a mama cat and 2 kittens outside, AND a new pregnant mama cat outside too?

 

[Littlekitten]

Yes the kittens and their mama is in the playpin and the other mama cat is in a different cage when she is not wondering

 

[Sarthur2]

Can you bring them into your own bedroom?

 

[Littlekitten]

No. No animals are allowed inside the house

Can you plug in an electric fan to blow air on the porch?
