My pregnant cat had trouble delivering. How can I help her?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | 10 lbs

I have a cat who is VERY pregnant. She has had some trouble delivering her babies the last 2 times. We have just recently been able to pet her(for only a few minutes). Are there any videos I can watch or any advice on how to help her should she need help with the delivery?

I will put a link below to a website that details a cat's labor, how to intervene when there are problems, and when you need to bring her into a vet. Given that she has had trouble giving birth before, if she has trouble again, I would get Oreo spayed because she will continue to have these problems. Best of luck, I hope this helps. https://www.2ndchance.info/felinelabor.htm
