My cat gave birth to one kitten last night at around 10pm. We half expected her to have around 3 or 4 as she ate nearly triple her amount of food. She's been clinging to me from the moment she went into to now which I found weird. She's not a very good mum she's always leaving her kitten to sleep closer to me I spent all night putting her back by her baby. She's still quite big and I still feel a lump, but she seems back to herself and in no sort've pain.

(is also the first time I have heard or saw a cat have one kitten)

Not unusual for one or two to hold back; you may seem another yet. Yes, she will have to be coaxed into feeding that little one, but when more come out, she will turn into a super mom.

Its been over 12hrs since she had the kitten can she keep having them now? She doesn't seem to show any signs of having another

It can be over 24 hours before she has another baby after the first. Watch her behavior and call your vet if she begins to bleed a lot or is agitated, etc.

Thank you will update again later

Just took her to the vet. She still has babies in her tum that she couldn't deliver so she's getting a c-section at the moment veterinarian thinks there most probably won't be any others surviving as its been over 6hrs. For anyone having the same problem take her to vet after a couple of hrs just in case.

Thanks for the update. What will happen to the kitten? Will you feed her around the clock with a bottle and kitten milk?
