How do you know if a cat gave birth?
I’m assuming you’re asking this question because you have encountered a stray cat. Most mother cats with a litter of kittens nearby will be very protective of them, keeping them hidden from danger until they are old enough to venture out of their nest. She will go out for food so she can produce milk for her kittens. She will also have a strong urge to return to her kittens, as they need to be fed often and kept warm or they will die. Do not prevent her from returning to them, but give her some food and clean water.Kitten food, which is higher in calories and nutrition, may be given to a mother who is still nursing her kittens. Let her nurse them, as the colostrum in her milk will help protect them from diseases. Only if she is unable to nurse them do you need to worry about giving them any kitten formula by bottle.Cats can become pregnant with their first heat cycle, which usually happens before they are 6 months old. If they are very young when they become mothers, they may not know what to do and may abandon their kittens.If you find a nest of kittens, try to leave them for a few hours and observe to see if their mother returns. If she does not show up, they will need rescuing. But if she is still tending to them, leave them be and just keep an eye on them. They can be rescued and spayed/neutered shortly.If the mother is friendly and trusts you, she may let you handle her kittens. If not, you’ll need to use a humane trap to catch her and the babies, which can usually be socialized enough after their spay/neuter surgery to be adopted. Try to wait for this until the kittens are venturing out of the nest. If the mother is feral, she can be spayed, vaccinated, and returned to her territory. She will help control rodents and defend her territory from other strays. Over time, she may become tame enough for you to adopt.
How do I know if my cat is done giving birth?
When the kittens are out????
How do I know when my cat is done giving birth?
When the birthing begins, they babies are generally 30 to 45 minutes apart. If she has not birthed a baby in the last hour, she is either done or she may be needing medical attention if there are still babies inside that aren't coming out. "Palpate" her belly (that is, softly feel around) to see if you can feel if there are any more "lumps" inside. If there are, there may be dead babies inside. Don't let this scare you, most cats do just fine on their own. But if she becomes "sick" then take her to the vet ASAP! Me… kittyslave23… I know my place.
How do cats give birth?
Pretty much like this;-They’re vicious little bastards that literally eat their way out of their hosts, and burst forth in fluffy cuteness.No, just kidding, they’re mammals and are born the same way as you and others from your planet.The mother manages to exit them, usually one at a time, from the birth canal, and voila. She might get up in between births to eat some food, or drink a bit.She will clean them so completely that you have no idea that there was even any other “bits”, the placenta, etc.She may devour immediately any kitten that she considers either fundamentally ill, or close to death, or ignore them to die.She may also be a “selfish” cat, and eat the lot.Yeah, not so cute now hey?
How do I know if my girlfriend has given birth before?
Why is this your business? Seriously, why do you need to know? I assume you've asked, and the answer was a variation on ‘no, I haven't had a child’. If you choose to disbelieve her, is unwillingness to trust been a part of all your relationships? In that case, I'd suggest that the problem is you, since you are the common denominator in all your failed relationships. Work on yourself, your issues before projecting them on others. This question is far more likely to be a reflection of your deep seated insecurities than any prevarication on the part of any partner

My cat gave birth outside and we can't find the kittens?
We are pretty sure that my cat gave birth while she was outside, but we can't find the kittens anywhere and are scared that they will die. She wouldn't lead us to them or anything, she just wanted to be petted the whole time we were out looking for them. And I know this is stupid, but we are thinking maybe she didnt even have them yet? We arent sure because her stomach shrunk a lot since yesterday when we saw her but it is still kind of round and hard so we arent sure. Any help, please?
Cat giving birth? help?
I've gone through 3 different litters with my cat. It's definitely normal to be worried about her giving birth. The signs you will notice is she will begin finding a place to hide. towels and blankets are nice to put down but it doesn't always mean thats the spot she will choose. Don't be disappointed if she doesnt decide to have her babies there. Mine only did once. She will decide the spot. It's best to leave her alone and let her pick. She will begin panting heavily when it is time to give birth and she will retreat to her spot. Give her space and let nature take it's course. Good luck!
Is my cat done giving birth?
I do not believe that there is any sure way to tell that a cat is done giving birth. However, cats can give birth to a few kittens and stop for 24 hours and start again. I do not suggest touching the mother or the kittens at this time. The mother may get very defensive with you or kill her kittens due to your smell on them. She may be hungry but that is not shown by her “cleaning” the licking of the blood is only her cleaning up the mess that was made. You will need to change the pillow that you allowed her to give birth on in a few days. Therefore, you need to let her let you get close to her and the kittens by taking small steps. At first let her sniff you, when you know she is done giving birth, after she acts comfortable with you than you can start petting her. Always reassure her that she is doing well with the babies. After you feel that, she is comfortable with you that close you can pet the kittens but do not move them yet. I would give it a day of petting so that she can see you are not going to cause any harm. When it is time to remove the pillow, because of the smell, you get another pillow or something of the sort and set the kittens on that remove the pillow and place the kittens and new comfort item back in the box. One thing to always remember is to make sure that the mother is around every time that you are near the kittens so that she knows who touched them and that you caused no harm.
