Congrats on Rihana having kittens! The good news is that cats typically do not need help giving birth to kittens, and I would leave her alone to give birth. Too much interference from a human can cause stress in the mother, and it is recommended not to intervene unless the cat is having problems giving birth. I will put a link below on things you can do when your cat is giving birth, and things to look out for the require veterinary attention. I hope this helps! http://www.2ndchance.info/felinelabor.htm
