I cant find the kittens!!!!! HELP!!!!!
Im going to make this quick so that I can look again.
My Cat had her kittens this morning. She is small, her backside showed that she had definately given birth. Shes not going to her kittens, not for the past 5 hours, not once. I have torn my house apart! Even the neighbors helped! Trust me I have looked everywhere. What could be happening? She was definately in the house all night. I woke up to her sitting on my bed. Im frantic! Please Help! Thanks, Marci |

Thanks, Marci Look for any little enclosed area, especially one that could be warn (such as within the confines of a blanket). Also look into any boxes -- and, obviously, under objects such as beds. Cats can "hole up" in remarkably small spaces. MaryL |

MaryL Also: look in any dresser drawers that could have been open, even for a short time. My sister once reached around her bathroom door with dripping hair, opened a drawer, reached in, and got a towel -- then left for work. Fortunately, I was visiting and heard one of her cats crying. I looked all through the house and finally located it in the towel drawer! MaryL |

@hotmail.com enlightened us with... Im going to make this quick so that I can look again. My Cat had her kittens this morning. She is small, her backside showed that she had definately given birth. Shes not going to her kittens, not for the past 5 hours, not once. I have torn my house apart! Even the neighbors helped! Trust me I have looked everywhere. What could be happening? She was definately in the house all night. I woke up to her sitting on my bed. Im frantic! Please Help! Some thoughts... If she hasn't gone to them, it is possible they were stillborn or sickly. (is this her first litter? what is her age? she may not know how to care for kittens.) Having strangers in the home will possibly prevent her going to them. Instinctively, she may protect the location of her "den" and not want to reveal it. If she smells your fear, same deal. How can you be certain she didn't go out, if she had access? Are you 100% sure she had no access? Think like a momma cat. You looked everywhere *you* thought of. Get down to her level and look around. Look UP and UNDER and IN. Her instinct might have prompted her to hide them. Think safe and warm and hidden. To a CAT, not a human. Good luck. -- -- ~kaeli~ If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

I FOUND THEM!
I FOUND THEM! I FOUND THEM! G-d bless you Mary! I found them in a closed empty toy drawer.....the top drawer was open though. She must have called thru from the top. Kitty is nursing them now. It looks like 4. I dont want to disturb them right now. I will post more in a bit. Mary, Thank you so much for your reply! I never would have thought to check there. And I think Kitty was having a hard time getting back to them. Maybe that was why she was following me around, she needed help! I'll post more later today. Let you know the count and all. Sincerely, Marci |

I'm sorry to say that that was my first thought, but I didn't want to say anything till you'd had more time to find them. Yes, the mother may have killed and eaten the kittens, but don't give up yet. -- Jennifer |

Could they do this without leaving a sign? |
