My pregnant cat's kittens seem too big. Should I take her to a vet?

Question

Hii, I just want to know, my cat is about 8 months old and pregnant, she is almost ready to pop and I'm afraid that the baby's won't be able to come out because they're going to be too big because the male cat is huge, am I going to have to make a small incision at the back of must I take her to a veterinarian?

Most cats are close enough in size that it shouldn't be an issue and you should not have to do anything to assist in a normal pregnancy. I would NOT recommend trying to cut open your cat as you will likely injure her and endanger both her and the kittens and this is considered animal cruelty. If she is showing signs of dystocia (difficult birth) and goes into labor for several hours without producing a kitten, seeking emergency care from your vet is needed.
