MY cat just had kittens tonight i am excited but nervous can you give me advice on how to treat her ?

I moved her from under my little girls bed. I put her in her own room becuase I have another cat and he seems aggressive right now. They ar feeding and seem happy she is very tiredMY cat just had kittens tonight i am excited but nervous can you give me advice on how to treat her ?
Animals have natural instincts on how to care for and feed their young. The best thing you can do is give them their space and let them do their thing. Don't be surprised if she tries to move the kittens back under the bed when she is rested, because cats like to keep their kittens where the afterbirth was. Gross, I know - but very true. Keep the food and water close so she doesn't have to go far from the babies to get it. If she leaves the room or the area of the kittens, don't worry. It just means she needs a break from nursing for a while. The kittens will be fine. One of the posters above was right about feeding her kitten food for the calories. She will need it while nursing and it is good for the kittens with the extra nutrients.MY cat just had kittens tonight i am excited but nervous can you give me advice on how to treat her ?
congrats make sure they have water and watch them whenever u can.hope u have fun with the little kittens : ) good luck.
give her food and water net to her and some space to have privacy
Make sure she has clean fresh bedding and I would suggest that you move her food and water closer to the ';nursery.';


Congrats, you're a grandparent!
I would sit quietly beside her and talk gently. If she allows you to rub her, do that. See if she allows you to stroke the babies. They need to get used to people, and she needs to know that you won't hurt them.
Leave her alone!!!! she will be just fine! She will let you know if she needs anything. Do keep the door shut to the room, because she may try to move them where she wants them. Keep food and water available for her. Good luck!
It is probably a very good idea to keep the male separated from the mother and the kittens. I have posted a link that should give you good information on your newborn kittens and the mother. Just follow the links contained therein. There is a good section on caring for the mother and kittens.





The mother cat will need additional nutrition, and feeding her kitten food is often advised, as it is high in calories.
Make sure she doesnt suffocate them by sitting on them. That happened to my cats babies twice. Just watch them when you can...





Have Fun!
Treat her nice you see when my cat had kitties i pet her all of the time i told her that she was a nice and beautiful kitty
