    How long between kittens being born?
    My cat went into labor around 1:00 p.m, I put her in a birthing place between checking on her she had a kitten (feet first) that was stuck halfway. We pulled it free but it had died. That was around 5:00 p.m. It is 6:30 the next day (over 24 hours) and she is not making any noise or seems in pain but there feels to be more kittens in her belly. What should I do? Is this normal?

    Scoop her up and get her to the vet for a check. Otherwise, if kittens are trapped inside her, she will die. It sounds like this process is taking much too long. (And please get her spayed when the time comes.)

    Wondergirl is exactly right, you'll need to get her checked out, cats usually finish the birth process in about 6-8 hours. They can halt labor for up to 24 hours if disturbed and then start all over again.
    She has already passed that 24 hour point, better safe than sorry, especially since she has already had one dead kitten.
