My Siamese cat was barely a year old before she became pregnant. She gave birth 4 hrs ago and seems to be fine? Is there a reason for only 2, maybe her age? What more can I do to ensure their healthy?

Sometimes cats will have small litters, this can be normal. Weigh the kittens daily to make sure they are gaining, give Wizard and her kittens a very warm, quiet, and safe space, and take them into the vet with any questions or concerns. I hope this helps!

Single kitten litters can certainly be normal, particularly for younger cats. Be sure that Millie is nursing her kitten regularly, stimulating the kitten to pee and poop by licking her hind end, and keeping the kitten in a confined, safe area. If Millie is not caring for her kitten, this link has some great tips on helping to care for kittens: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=576.
