This can happen as a cat can be in labor for up to 24 hours so it can have a few kittens in this period of time. So for example one kitten could be delivered early in the morning but one could come along six or seven hours after. You need to make sure your cat is in a comfortable position when she is going into labor. A cat will only usually only be in labor for two or three hours but you should be aware that this is only a rough estimation and you should be prepared for a much longer period.
You have to ensure that all the kittens are healthy and of course they are breathing on their own. During the process labor the cat may start to pant and purr but these are normal circumstances. You should make sure you have plenty of towels as well as newspapers and a basket for your cat and the kittens that are coming into the world. If for any reason you feel there may be more kittens to come out or your cat is still in labor for a considerable amount of time then it is advisable to consult your vet.
When the kittens are delivered they are each in an amniotic sac that usually breaks open after your cat gives birth. If it doesn't break on its own, the mother will break it and she will be responsible for cutting the umbilical cord as well as eating the placenta. The number of kittens in a litter varies from cat to cat but on average it is around three to six kittens in a litter, though there are some cases where up to 10 kittens have been delivered.
