My pregnant cat had one kitten. Why aren't more coming after so long?

Question

My cat is pregnant, had one last night at 7:30 it is 1:00pm the next day and still no more kittens. She is acting normal, eating, drinking and caring for the one kitten but it feels like there are more. What should I do? No blood, no smell.

Hi and thank you for using petcoach. I would recommend a vet visit for Josephine to assess for other kittens. A cat should have all kittens within 6-8 hours, and while possible, it is rare for there to only be one kitten in a litter. The veterinarian may recommend ultrasound or radiographs (x-rays) to assess for other kittens. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1738 Best of luck to Josephine and her kitten(s).
