My cat just had kittens, why is she pacing and meowing loudly?

Question

Hi, I'm concerned about my kitty, Buttercup. She had two kitties 3 days ago. Just to clarify, she is 5 years old and has had kittens before. Today she has been leaving the place where her kitties are and pacing around. She also been meowing a lot more than normal. I came to see her about 15 minutes ago and she was letting out really long meows, she NEVER does that. She has been eating and drinking normally. Right now she's nursing her babies. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 9 lbs

Hello, sorry to hear about Buttercup. She may be experiencing some post partum pain. This should improve in several days. Ensure Buttercup is getting adequate amount of food and water. You can offer her kitten food as well while she is nursing. She can eat as ofter as every 6 hours. If her meowing does not improve, if she does not want to eat or drink, she has tremors, or is weak and lethargic, haver her evaluated by your veterinarian immediately. Hope this helps and best of luck.
