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.
