As others said, it can take hours. You are doing the right things, it's okay!

Many, many prayers are being prayed for this kitty and her babies

Thank you for caring so much about these precious little lives and doing what you can to help. My prayers and good thoughts are with you too. As you can, please let us know how the new kitty family is doing.

We have the first kitten. Black & white, given birth to while I was on the phone with Donna. TYSM Donna ^_^ The little one is being cleaned and is feeding already. She was so confused that this thing was hanging from her and won't let go she was growling at it. I got her and baby into the box immediately. He is nice and warm. Just waiting for the placenta to pass now. Off to check on her again.

Thanks everyone ^_^

Michelle,

She will eat the placentas, which is normal and has a boatload of nutrients in it!!! It's good for her AND the babies!!

Glad I was able to help. Like I said, I'll call you a little later to see how everything is going!!

Great job!!

Misty just had her second baby. All black with a white bikini. Going to attach photos of Misty from 2 days ago and 1 of the first baby. Second one is not a pretty sight due to the birthing 'mess'.

Whew! I was on the edge of my seat reading these posts! Donna gave you excellent advice. It's been so long since I've had a cat that had kittens that I couldn't remember how long the process was. We had a similar experience nearby. A 6 month old cat, kitten actually, gave birth to 3 adorable kittens. Mama had been declawed and tossed out while pregnant. Nice people, huh? The rescuer is currently looking for homes for all 4 of them. One is a tuxie, one a tiger, one an orangie and mom looks to be a dilute tortie. I wish I could take them all. You're doing great, girlie. Hang in there.

What a special experience, and you're doing great! I just saw she had kitten #2. Misty is beautiful, and though she may be a little confused about the whole thing, I'm sure she'll be a good mom.

Please keep us updated - and good luck!

Oh my gosh, Misty looks like she could be my Yodie's twin! Love the photos. What a time you're having, huh? Wish I could be there to help but you're doing fine all by yourself. Mom will do just fine, too. Her motherly instincts have already kicked in.

She looks SO much like Mattie Grace, the Russian Blue I took in years ago in MI. She was VERY pregnant and gave birth in one of my bedrooms. It was a beautiful experience. One I will ALWAYS remember. But I'm glad I got her spayed and found all of them homes.

Give yourself a pat on the back from me from across the sea, Michelle!!
