Cats can often have kittens with a 24 hour gap in between each one.

If she is acting distressed at all take her to the vet immediately.
Signs of distress include panting, restlessness, crying.

If she hasn't delivered another kitten by 24 hours you will need to take her to the vet awsell. She made need a caeserian.

Breeding cats can be expensive if everything doesn't go perfectly which a lot of the time, it doesn't.

Hi shaz just to let you she had 2 more kittens at 6 thiis morn :)
I decided to leave her over night then take her to vets this morn
But when I got up she had them thanks for your advice yesday

Oh just so you know she had 1 kitten at 6pm on Tuesday and then the other 2 about 6am this morn Thursday and she is perfectly fine I couldn't take her to the vets at the 24hr mark because they were shut that's why I left her over night but kept her close
I never realised they could go so long
Thankfully she and kittens are doing well :)
Again thank you for easing my mind
