Cats give birth at around 8-9 weeks of pregnancy. This article provides a guide on what to expect in a cat giving birth, so you can easily recognise what is normal to reduce any anxiety that this moment may bring. As well as what is not normal so you can call for help without delay.
Birth in cats is also known as labour, kittening and queening. One of the signs that you should seek emergency vet care is if your cat is having strong, continuous contractions that have continued for more than 20 minutes without a kitten being born.
