Delivery Room Help Needed!!/PICTURES AS PROMISED!!

My daughter just called me and her cat is in labor... or at least they think she is...
She is pregnant and has been screaming all day. My daughter says the Momma's body is contracting and her caboose keeps opening and closing.
Can anyone give us some advice??
I have helped pups, not kitties....and I can't get there until 4:30
:eek:

What makes you think that help is needed?

Sometimes kittens get stuck on the way out -- bad for the Mom and the kittens. I'd call a vet's office and ask what's normal.

My daughter has never done this and neither have I. She is freakin out....

She did....they want her to bring her in...sounds like they are looking for money..cats have been have cats for 1,000's of years..lol
I just wondered what advice I could get from cat lovers out there.

I don't think that human intervention is automatically necessary unless the mother is having difficulties. Animals, and humans, frequently bear their young with no assistance. :)

Ooops, that leaves me out! I like cats only because they make nice moving targets on the firing range. :D

I'm kiddin'!! :)

You're in trouble buddy....:eek:

I saw something on the Internet that says there's trouble if the cat's had contractions for more than four hours and no kitten has appeared -- LR, see your PM?

I delivered 7 cocker spaniel puppies once because the mother wouldn't do anything. I actually cut the umbilical cords with sterilyzed sissors and one even came out breach and I had to cut her out of the sack. Messy job and I needed to go bowling that night.

Thanks UT...that has a lot of info. :)

I needed to go bowling that night.
I think I would have gone drinking instead.

They opted to go to the vet. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks everyone. :)

I hope everything turns out OK with your daughter's cat and kittens, J.C.

Likewise. I forgot to say it earlier because I was too busy being a smart a**. :)

So does this make you a grandma?

I was thinking something else but I just couldn't bring myself to type it.

Good luck to momma cat and baby cats.

Would it be proper to say this we need pics:)

Thanks everyone.

Mother and "BABY" are doing fine. Yes..baby..one, uno..singular. :eek:

Yes..it's her first litter and I think you are right northernlights, she was searching for a hiding place. My daughter had beds all over the house for her....even Gramma bought one..( that's me to the Momma cat ) and she chose to go under the dresser in their bedroom...

They waited for more babies and none came. Momma is eating, drinking, walking around and going potty...she's great.

And no mayfielh, I'm not Grandma..I'm Great Grammy to the new arrival...:D Man is that kitten ever cute. Black with a brown spot on it's head, a white streak down it's nose and 4 white booties. OMG:p

We didn't take pictures today because we were afraid to disturb Momma kitty. Nikki ( Momma ) is a very small, delicate cat...we didn't want her upset.

I'll take pictures Saturday and post them.

Thanks again all you Auntie and Uncle ROC heads!! :D

What? It's not SILVER? :)

No Grok...darn it...not silver...
HEY!! I could paint it couldn't I???? :D

No you would have to dip it in paint remover. HELLO Silver = Primer. :D

First, glad everyone is okay.

Second, glad I adopted a BOY kitty. :)

Third, is it rare to only give birth to one for a dog or cat? I thought a litter was more than one - but I'm new to this cat ownership thing too.

It's rare.. but it has happened to me 2 times now.
My poodle had 2 litters..the first litter only one showed up
..the second litter she had 5. ( Lacie's Momma )
Now Nikki the kitty.

I guess He knows what He's doing with ALL his creatures. :)

Mother and "BABY" are doing fine. Yes..baby..one, uno..singular.
Glad to hear that everything went well. :)

Does the brown spot on its head resemble a bullseye? :p

Just kiddin'!! :D

Glad everything worked out LR!

Gee, if it isn't SILVER, I'd be tempted to send it back for a refund. :D

Aren't they cute.

Very cute kitten and mom, JC.

Very cute pics :)

Thanks for sharing!

I love kittens! I used to let my manx have babies, but I quit many years ago because of the problem with overpopulation of cats and dogs. I sure had fun during the time I had the babies though. I always found good homes for them, but you never really know how responsible the new owners will be.

Since this is a single baby, is your daughter going to keep him?

I was suppose to get pick of the litter but since there is only one....she say's "sorry Mom..Phil is soooooo cute." :(
