In a typical cat labor, kittens are born anywhere from half an hour to an hour apart. If a mother has hard contractions for more than an hour and a kitten is not born, medical intervention is probably necessary. However, there have been instances of some cats taking a few days to fully deliver their litter.
What else can I help you with?
Can a cat have 2 labors for one pregnancy?
I don't think so, no. It may have births far apart, for example, two kittens born at one time, then two more a few hours later, but the cat will know if there are more kittens to come and will not move or act as if that is all of them.
What do one month kittens eat?
They can eat regular cat food. They're old enough to chew. Many good cat food brands are suitable for both adults and kittens as there is little difference between the two. Because they are growing, kittens need far more proteins than adult cats, so any good cat food with lots of meat in will provide enough nutrition for it.
Will cats hide their kittens after giving birth?
It is not at all uncommon for a cat to hide her kittens. Frequently, she will go so far as to move them from place to place to ensure that they are not "discovered" by predators. It is important when expecting kittens to prepare a safe, calm place and acclimate the mother to her surroundings; this helps her feel safe giving birth in that environment. Resist the urge to disturb the nest, as this could lead to her moving the kittens, which puts them at greater risk for chilling and hypothermia.
Will your cat hurt your newborn if you take her kittens away?
No. Cats will not hurt your baby if you take her kittens away. Your cat may just not be fond of babies because of their noises, smells, or attention. But as far as I know most cats are fond of babies or at least tolerate.
The first kitten was fine. The second was still-born. Now she is acting weird. Is it normal to just have two kittens and how can you be sure that your cat will not have anymore kittens.?
If your cat has given birth to a stillborn kitten she needs to go to the vet. The kitten may have been deformed, in which case it would have died anyway. However its death may have been the result of a disease or infection in her uterus. This may kill her if she isn't seen by a vet. It may also have died because it was squashed inside its mother as she was giving birth. If the umbilical cord is squashed it will deprive the kitten of oxygen long enough to kill it. This is abnormal and may mean the cat has difficulty giving birth. In this case it's possible, even probable that there are kittens still inside. Two kittens is not abnormal in the way that a human having six babies at once is abnormal, but it isn't normal either. Usually four to six is considered normal. I can't make a diagnosis based on 'acting weird'. If she is lying down, straining, panting, looking at her back end and acting distressed, there's a fair chance that a kitten is stuck. A cat's vagina is far too small to put fingers inside and assist the delivery that way as would be done with most larger animals. If a kitten is stuck, the only way to deliver it is by caesarean section. Again if this is not done the kitten will die and probably the mother as well. If only one or no afterbirths came out with the kittens, again she needs to be seen by a vet. If the placentas remain inside the cat they will rot and cause a serious and probably fatal infection. There is also a chance that there are more kittens, dead or alive, inside her. What seems a small amount of blood to a human - as little as two tablespoons - is considered a massive haemorrhage for a cat. I can't tell what went wrong or whether there are more kittens without looking at your cat. I have to stress again, TAKE HER TO THE VET. The vet can determine whether there are more kittens inside her and do a Caesarean section to remove kittens or retained placentas if necessary. If your cat's behavior seems odd to you - chances are that something is wrong. Trust your instincts and get help. Your cat deserves it.

Is is possible for a female cat to mate then conceive then be spayed and then give birth to her kittens?
No, it is not possible for a spayed cat to have kittens. The spaying procedure removes the cat's entire reproductive system, which includes any unborn kittens if any are present. If the cat is far into her pregnancy, it may be safer (unless a vet says otherwise) to let the kittens be born and then spay the mother as soon as the kittens are weaned. A cat early in pregnancy can be spayed safely.

Dont know whether my cat is pregnant or not anyone able to help me?
This is difficult to give you a pat answer as the cat could be carrying just a few kittens and not show. Best thing to do is to take her into your Veterinarian and have him or her check out your Cat. They can palpate her belly gently to see if there are kittens in there if she is far enough along. If you don't want the kittens and it is in the early stages, you can have her spayed. She should be spayed at some time anyway. Too many homeless cats and kittens out there
