What should I do if my cat only has one kitten?
However, since it’s been over 30 hours I really think she needs to get checked out. If possible have the vet do an ultrasound (as opposed to an X-ray) to see if there are any babies still in there. If she does only end up having one kitten you need to watch her closely.
How old is the cat that just gave birth to a kitten?
My little lady named Babalon (we call her ChaCha sometimes) just gave birth to a healthy kitten yesterday morning at 9:05. We had expected to see more little ones, but Babalon has not gone into labour again. Babs is 1.5 years old. 1. If she is eating and drinking (which she is, voraciously) she is in good spirits.
Is the vet good at taking care of kittens?
Part of it is maybe, it is not always the vet who answers random phones. Random phones are often taken by the receptionist. But otherwise, it is true. Not all vets are good at cats. And not all are so good at small kittens care.
How often should I weigh my new kitten?
The only time I do during the first few weeks is to get a weight. Especially with having just one it’s vital that you weigh the kitten at the same time everyday to make sure they are properly gaining (on average 10-15 grams a day). Only handle the kitten directly in front of Babs and be as quick as you can. Ok, I will take her in.

When to call the vet if your cat has kittens?
Over the next few days, the kittens should be gaining weight at a normal pace. If the kittens are not gaining weight and are instead losing weight, we recommend calling a vet right away.
What do kittens do in the first week of life?
During the first week, all kittens do is eat, sleep, and have their mother help them go to the bathroom. They will typically weigh around 3-4 ounces and are smaller than the palm of your hand.
