A: Your cat is VERY unlikely to die during birthing. While humans often get into trouble, it is because the skull of the baby is very large in proportion to the mother. The same is not true of kittens – cat births usually proceed very smoothly.Here are some things you can do to make the birth easy and natural, and avoid problems:1. Your cat will want to hide her kittens in a dark, quiet place. Even if you give her a place to have her kittens, she may choose another location that suits her better. But you want to be able to see what is going on, and make sure no problems are occurring. For that reason, when a cat is due and you are going to be away (or asleep), I would advise limiting her to one room of the house… perhaps a bathroom or bedroom. Shut the door and keep her inside, when you are not around to observe her.2. When your cat prepares to have kittens, one of the first signs will be that her breasts will become developed, and when you run your hand across her belly, you will feel the breast tissue under the skin. Nesting behavior will start a few days before the birth, and she will be seeking dark, secretive places to have the kittens. She will go to these places and dig around in them. Put some towels in a box and put the box in one or two of the places in her room that she indicates are interesting to her. If she accepts the box, she will enter it, lie in it, or get in it and stir the towels around.3. Twenty-four hours or so before the birth, her temperature may drop. I do not advocate upsetting her by taking her temperature every day, but this is one of the things that happens before the labor and delivery. Another thing that happens prior to labor is that a waxy plug will sometimes melt and discharge from the vaginal opening. This is normal.4. Most cats will be in labor for several hours. In my experience, they often go into labor in the afternoon or evening, and deliver the kittens during the wee hours of the night. You get up the next morning, and the kittens are there!5. Signs of trouble include: bloody or foul discharge from the vaginal opening without laborlabor that continues without delivery of a kitten for several hours. If this is hard labor (the cat is really lying down and pushing and nothing comes out after 2 hours) then you may want to take her to a vet for a check.a kitten is partially delivered and does not finish being delivered for over 5 minutes.WHAT TO DO:STAY CALM. Your cat will be distressed by your emotions if you get all upset, cry and babble uncontrollably, etc. Your cat will stay calm and have a far better chance of delivering a healthy litter, if you keep your own emotions in check and deal with the situation in a reassuring manner.SEEK A VET. Call your vet and tell them what symptoms you are seeing. Answer any questions they ask, and follow their directions.Cats can be saved from bad birthing problems by various methods, which include oxytocin injections done by your vet to help the cat’s labor strengthen, or C-section (the same thing as a caesarean). It is usual practice to spay your cat at the same time as the c-section, so that she won’t have more difficulties, and so that she won’t have to undergo another surgery later.Unless you have a Persian, all of this is VERY VERY unlikely to happen… Persians are more prone to these problems because – like humans – their babies skull(s) are larger and harder to deliver. A domestic cat that is not purebred is very unlikely to have any problems.Mother Nature has been making kittens for thousands of years… and the process is quite natural and beautiful. Barn cats and wild cats have a litter or two each year, for several years of their lives, and suffer no harm. I am sure your cat will do fine, and that you will have a healthy and beautiful litter of kittens!
