answers 0:Help!!! cat is in labour I didnt know she was pregnant! What do I do?answers 1:I'm no longer definite there may be this sort of factor as a natural cat - they are all distinctive. Each of my seven has another character and distinctive trends. That mentioned, all of them do "cat" matters. One of them likes to sleep in the toilet sink, a few are very vocal, a few get in mattress with us, one continues to be a scaredy-cat after being with us for 7 yrs it doesn't matter what we attempt (ought to have had a truly fright as a kitten).answers 2:Could be a thing called Dysphagia. I would take him to a vet and check it out. Nothing to worry about too much. But I would take him. My cat had this, or at least something of this kind. He would eat, tilt his head and then after a whi! le he would vomit. He could hardly meow either. It sounded like a little screech. Really dry meow. Anyways. Keep an eye on him and take him to the vet if you are still concerned. As for the hair. Check on him and see if he is licking it off, that's what a lot of cats do. Or he could have something like Alopecia. Hope this helps.answers 3:Liberty is cute. Try independance or Aunt Sam lmaoanswers 4:Get towels, and let her have her babies.You don't have to do much , its nature.answers 5:not really my cat, but hes my roommates, so he lives with me, and is an indoor only cat,aswell as the one other at in the house, they've never has been outside before. so i was just feeding him, because they're at work during his dinnertime, and i notice his eyes were almost all black, not really too concerning, but i also noticed he was drooling. like quite a bit, but not to where his chest is covered in drool, so it was odd, but i watched him start eating, and noticed his jaw was favoring a c! ertain side, because he was angling his jaw to a single side, ! and tilting his head. he didn't finish eating all of his food, so i put it up from the other cat, so i might give it to him later. i come back and he's still laying on the bed, with his jaw slightly open. and i notice a patch of fur missing on his front leg. he seems fine, but its a little weird, are these all one weird coincidence, or is there something wrong?answers 6:Miss Independence, like the Kelly Clarkson song or Miss Firecracker, like the movie.answers 7:has your cat ever had babies before? if she has, im sure she knows what to do. if not stay there with her, talk to her while in labor. it will ease her. if she seems a bit uncomfortable with you watching, leave the room for a couple, then take a peak and see how shes doing. and make sure the box is big enough for her.when she starts to give birth, continue talking to her. dont worry if shes whimpering, its normalwhen she has had a few babies, and its been a while since shes had one, let her be with her babies alone! , and dont move her around to soon. she might not be done...answers 8:I don't live near Noble Park, sorry.answers 9:Midnight,Sparkle(you could add an S to that if you'd like),Spangle,Patriot,Liberty(I agree that is quite a good name for her),or Julie(that sounds more like a human name though).answers 10:Pregnant cats are more than capable of taking care of themselves. But needless to say, there are a few things you should know to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Leading up to the birthDuring your cat's last week of pregnancy, make sure she is kept away from other pets and children: females in late stages of pregnancy can get aggressive. Try to keep her as calm and inactive as possible during this time, and try to get her accustomed to the maternity bed. You can create a maternity bed out of a cardboard box at least 2 feet x 3 feet and about 1 1/2 feet high. Preferably, the box will have a top to help keep the new born kittens warm and safe, plus a hole in ! one side that is large enough for mum to crawl in and out of. Place a f! ew inches of shredded newspaper in the bottom of the box and cover with a blanket or old shirt. Finally, make sure to place the box in a warm and quiet place.It's best to try to get your cat accustomed and comfortable with this special bed. Cats naturally look for an area where they can deliver their kittens, so without a maternity bed they will find another suitable place - which could be the bottom of your wardrobe!The birthWhen your cat is ready to give birth, she will become very restless, pace as if she is looking for something, and become very vocal. She also might make many unproductive trips to the litterbox, but eventually will settle into her maternity bed.If she is not well accustomed to her bed, however, she may choose another suitable spot. Don't move her or make her use the maternity bed if she doesn't want to. It's always safer to let her give birth where she chooses. Once she settles into her spot, she will go into labour, which can last for up to 12 hours. ! During this time you should prepare for the birth by getting a bowl of warm water, clean towels and cloths, dental floss and petroleum jelly together. If the mother screams as the first kitten is born, don't be alarmed. This is normal, especially for a first time mum. Some kittens will born head first (like human babies), but others will appear feet first - again, this is quite normal. Kittens normally come at 30-45 minute intervals, even over one hour between deliveries. Stand and watch at a safe distance, and only intervene if absolutely necessary, for example if you see her straining excessively without producing a kitten, or if there is a bloody discharge when the vet should be called in.The deliveryOnce the kitten is born, the mother will break the amniotic fluid. If not, you may need to help tear the sack using a towel (never a sharp object), so the kitten can breathe.After each birth, the mother will eat the placenta and clean every kitten. This is important maternal! behaviour, necessary for the bonding process. However, if she fails to! remove the membranes from the kitten's face, you will have to step in. Gently clean it away from the mouth and nose, then quickly dry the kitten against the grain of the hair using a clean cloth (facecloths work well because they're big enough to cover the kitten but won't get in your way). Finally, firm rubbing with a warm cloth will dry and warm the kitten, and also stimulate it to take its first breath.Mum will also bite through the umbilical cord, but your help will be needed again if she doesn't. Just tie dental floss around the cord about 1 inch away from the kitten's body, and cut the umbilical cord on the mother's side of the tie. Don't cut it too close to the kitten, as this may cause infection or even death. If you notice the mother trying to chew too close to the kitten, stop her and do it yourself. After the birthThe entire delivery generally takes between 2-5 hours, but can last up to 12 hours. If you notice the mum having trouble giving birth at any time, put! some petroleum jelly on her to ease the kittens' passage. If your cat appears to be straining unproductively for an hour or more during the birth, contact your vet.Litters are usually of between 4 and 6 kittens, although litters of just one or two can be common. Once all the kittens are born, let your cat take care of the rest. But if she doesn't seem to be taking care of her kittens, you may need to take over - and consult your vet immediately. Ask the vet when it is safe to have her neutered usually this would be when kittens are weaned. Good luck...answers 11:Don't do anything. She can do it by herself, instinct. I had a pregnant cat once and she hid herself under the couch when she went into labor and when it was all over, I heard little meows. She and the kittens eventually came out from under the couch, lol. 🙂answers 12:Sparks. Mystic, Minxy. I'm not sure. Black cats are so beautiful and it's hard to find the perfect name to match the majestic allure of them! ! Let us know what you decide! I would love some different name ideas as ! well if you have any! My cat is in labor!!answers 13:Pregnancies are as different from cat to cat as they are from woman to woman. In general, however, there are some things you can recognize as signs your cat is going into labor.She will start nestingShe may lose her appetiteShe may become more affectionate and clingyShe may become anxious or restlessShe may have a vaginal dischargeShe may lick and groom her vaginal areaShe will start panting with her mouth open as she is very close to delivering, and soon, she will start trying to push. This is the beginning of her second stage of labor, with the third stage being the delivery of the placenta.More than likely, your cat will handle the entire delivery with ease and require no help at all from you, and you should let her give that a try before offering assistance. There are instances where she’ll need your help, and you should always be prepared, have your birthing supplies on hand, and know when to call the vet.Cat Birth! ing SuppliesLots of clean hand towelsA pair of hemostats (or 2)A pair of dull scissorsUnwaxed dental floss or threadAlcohol or iodineAlong with these basic things, you will also need your phone and the number of your vet and an emergency vet in case your cat delivers in the middle of the night and has trouble. It’s also good to have kitchen scales, a pen and paper, and permanent markers if you want to record births and keep an eye on each kitten’s progress. Keeping weight records is a good way of knowing whether or not each kitten is thriving.Active LaborAs your cat pushes, you will see a bubble of fluid start to come out. If she continues to push without delivering the sac and kitten, you can pinch the sac, release the pressure, and the kitten should emerge quickly. Never pull at the sac! If you have a kitten that is out of the sac and halfway out of mom, you can hold him gently with a hand towel, wait until the next contraction, and give a gentle tug. If you pull too ! hard, you can seriously harm both mother and kitten.How You Can Help Yo! ur Cat During DeliveryThe most common occurrence is when the queen doesn’t remove the kitten from their sac. At this point, you can reach in, tear the sac from the kitten’s face, and then rub his face with a towel to clear it off. The kitten should start breathing. If not, you will have to clamp the cord with hemostats (if the placenta hasn’t passed, the kitten will still be attached to mom), cut with dull scissors between the placenta and the hemostats, hold the kitten between the towel, dry him, and rub vigorously until he starts to breathe. Once he takes a breath, give him to his mommy to nurse.If the kitten sounds like he’s breathing fluid, you can hold him in the towel head down, and swing him downward and then upward and then downward and upward. This should clear way mucus. This doesn’t have to be a wild, crazy swing, just firm. You don’t want to sling a kitten across the floor.Have fun and take care!...answers 14:of course you must give her, her shots. B! ut she is showing she loves you and your her best friend. When she attacks your behind it is because she might want your attention and wants you to set back down, also she might be playing with you.
