I could pull the lining off the box spring and relocate the whole bunch but I figured i'd wait till they all dried off... how long before I can relocate them to a nice warm box with food and water for Jupiter, that's what she needs |

Constant crying, kittens squirming around the nest box, and restlessness of the queen are signs of trouble. Young kittens have a normal rectal temperature of about 96°, which may rise to about 100° (35.5°C to about 38°C) during the first week, after which the kittens develop the ability to shiver. Umbilical cords drop off at two to three days, and ears and eyes open at around six to twelve days. http://www.maxshouse.com/kitten_care...born%20Kittens That is from Phil's site READ IT NOW AND CALM DOWN WE ARE HERE FOR YOU |

You need expert help right now and that is not me. I think I would wait a while. Labor sometimes takes a long time, and if you move her while she is still having them they can get hurt. |

Charlie yeah, but as I say, overpopulation is a matter for the gov't not the people WE should take a deep breath, I have just relieved all of you from a false burdern. This is very cool, I love it! but look, I could easily transfer them from under the box spring... into a box... without ever touching them... I could easily cut a square... from around them (as they sit on the underlining) and transfer them.. without touching them Im fixing to slide jupiter some water... but Mat is right, I shouldn't bugar them up you know... i used my cell phone glow to peek in on them that way it's not a bright light. |

Yes, give them time. Your cat food was ordered today, but will not ship until 3-5 days from their warehouse. Which means it will be a week until you get it. I just got the Nutro pregnant cat/kitten food and 24 cans of Ocean Whitefish, the stuff you said they like. I know you have plenty of food for them, but I bet Jupiter will eat a lot. |
