My cat JUST gave birth like 10 mins ago...what do i do now?

Congrats! I had been through this a lot...

First place is that probably is not just a cat: she is in labor yet. My cat does the same (leaving the cats alone) because she is looking a good nest to put the kittens. I would recommend you to think which place is best suitable for you cat have its kittens and put there an old towel and the "forgotten" kitten. The mother cat will understand that there is a good and safe place to be.

Second is provide your cat near that place plenty water and food.

Third: you can touch the kittens! I now a lot of people who thinks that kittens shouldn't be touched. Wrong: gentle human touch will get them used to be good pets.

And, if you have dogs, be aware of them: my dog loved to play with kittens, taking them with its mouth and carrying them away, sometimes so hard that they were killed in the way...

Have a fun time!

Hold him her nipples and see if she allows him to nurse, otherwise you will have to get kitten formula (like JustBorn), and feed him yourself. Also, it is rare for them to have only one kitten, and she may still be in labor, which is why she will not settle. Watch for active contractions - if they continue for 30 minutes, but no kittens are produced, call your vet or the emergency vet immediately. Make sure the mom cat and baby are in a nice quiet area so she may be able to calm down. Good luck, don't panic, and call your vet if anything out of the ordinary happens

Leave her alone, she knows what she's doing :-)

Pacing is common for a little while then she should settle down.

If she rejects the kitten it's because there is a problem developmentally/health-wise and shouldn't really reach adulthood. The behavior, however, sounds normal to me.

offering she s no longer exhibiting signs and indicators of misery - aside from straining to produce any further kittens - the go away her on my own, to regulate to being a mom. with a bit of luck she has chosen a helpful quiet, secluded spot to have them (this does not consistently take place - my first delivery occurred on a chair interior the residing room!! :-)- if no longer, then placed a snug blanket on perfect of a few newspaper, in a quiet corner of a mattress room. gently take one or 2 babes to the recent spot, then return and carry mum up, then go decrease back and pass any ultimate kittens. make helpful she has muddle tray interior the room interior the furthest corner from her nest, and many foodstuff and water, attempt to pop in and look, only a pair of cases an afternoon interior the 1st few days, on an identical time as she settles (very under pressure cats will attack their kittens). No curious travelers yet! - there will be loads of time whilst the kittens are somewhat larger and mum is comfortable. a pair of dont's ......... please do no longer permit her out till the babies are various weeks previous - that's fairly helpful to have her spayed first! do no longer handle the babies too lots on an identical time as they are very tiny. i'm hoping you get excitement from them.

Let nature take its course. She will keep coming back and taking care of him. She might also be walking because there is another kitten to be born?

prob more on the way- often they ignore them until they are all born. give her a chance. does it look okay/moving etc?

give it a while then encourage her to spend time with it. if not luck soon you may haVE TO GO FOR HAnd rearing but that a whole other question give her a chance to labour and bond first good luck!

if she keeps doing this then ring your vet and ask but if shes giving him attention and feeding it it should be ok. if your worried ring the vet and the nurse will tell you what to do.

Good Luck

Give it a nice warm place with its mother. The mother will clean it and feed it, so don't worry too much about that.

i just left my cat and it done it her self, then when she was ready i put them inside a basket with pillows

take it to the vet
