Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Ziggy. I would have him take her into a vet immediately. She needs to be checked to see if there are more kittens yet to be born, and she likely needs assistance to give birth. I also recommend d him getting her spayed after she weans any kittens, as if she ate a kitten, she may not be a good mother. Best of luck.
