My Cat Is On Her Second Litter Of Kittens Is It Normal For Her To Only Have Two When She Had Four The First Time

[Steph2017]

Ok so my cat gave birth early hours of this morning for the second litter but only two kittens have delivered I cannot feel any further kittens but she did have four kittens in her first litter

You don't say how long ago she had the first litter. As long as kittens and mum are OK it's not a problem.

[Steph2017]

Her first litter was august/September of last year she had the first litter 4 healthy babies but all four were backwards........this time she only seems to have had two kittens and I cannot tell if she still has any left to go or not as can't tell wether what I'm feeling is part of my cat or if it's another kitten.....she doesn't look like she's going to have any more

[waterboatman]

Ten all you can do is wait. I would think if there were any more they would be out by now.

[waterboatman]

Ten? Then even! Duh!

[Steph2017]

Well that's what I thought but when she had her first litter she delivered three of them one day and 14 hours later we had the fourth kitten.....just thought that two kittens for a second litter seemed a bit small as she looked like she had more than 2 in her before she gave birth like the size of her belly etc

[seekeerz]

The size of each litter has no impact on other litters ....did you mate the cat to a specific male or is she a 'family' cat ?

[Islay]

Its perfectly normal, now why not do your cat a favour and in 3-4 weeks when the kittens start weaning get mum to the vets for spaying.

[Steph2017]

She's a family cat who snuck out of the house one night and got herself pregnant again I'm not actually sure who she mated with but I have my suspect that lives next door as that was the father of the first litter

[Steph2017]

She was booked in to be spayed then we found out at the vets that they couldn't spay her as she was pregnant and that's how we found out she was going to be having another litter this is not a planned litter

[Islay]

That's good, as soon as those new kitties start eating get her in before she goes into season other wise she will come into season again within a few weeks, and its really not good for her.

who'd be a cat ? lol..love my two visiting *** to bits ...

[seekeerz]

All i can suggest for now is that you keep an eye on her for the time being .....puss will start to become distressed if a kitten is still there ....she'll try to give birth or there may be a discharge, and heightened temperature ....just watch for anything out of the ordinary and then as Islay says, have her spayed as soon as the vet agrees.
