I don't have a camera covering their back garden.


This is the first time in my life I have locked the cat in.

I'd lock the cat in the car and start driving.

I take the view that cats can look after themselves pretty well, but I'd
be off in the car, for sure.

Plus, we only ever had mongrel cats, and they are easy to replace.

One could say the same about women and children, but I think Adam likes his cat as an individual rather than a commodity furbaby.

The last thing you want is for her to give birth in the house. Lock her
out, not in!

(You can see why we had quite a turnover of cats.)

It's perfectly civilised in a cardboard box in the spare room.

If she decides to give birth in the middle of your bed you may be less delighted about sleeping on the sofa for a month.

fancy one of the empty pockets in my canvas shoe organiser, though.

Given the furious wriggling going on in her stomach I'm expecting them

the kittens after the crew of the Nostromo.

Don't forget to let us know what happens. I remember a fire some years ago
when some empty butane cannisters went up, literally from the middle of a
fire. Came down 5 gardens away.

There's usually a lot of mess involved in giving birth - blood and
mucus. So, you can expect to throw away whatever she gives birth on. Or
wash it if you are not at all squeamish. Put plastic under to protect
the carpet.

It's only a canvas shoe organiser, but it doesn't look washable. It
isn't waterproof, so it won't protect the carpet.

DON'T let her give birth on your bed, as you'll need new bedding and
quite possibly a new mattress.

I have done, thanks. (It's a tiled floor, but have laid plastic anyway)

oh, I was joking. No way is she going to birth in there. It'll be the
box I've prepped for her, or on towels and old bed linen I have at the
ready.

Not going to happen but thanks for the warning.

This is going to be an interesting experience, I've not seen a live
animal birth before. She seems very calm and unconcerned about it all,
I'm the one that's a bag of nerves.

I'm told that as a very young child I was found watching with fascination
as one of the cats gave birth to kittens.

Since then I've been at the birth of pups, lambs, calves and children.

The one I do not recommend is watching your wife give birth shudder!

The best advice I can give is "do not interfere or fuss her".

Expect her to choose somewhere completely different to the box you have
prepped (the last cat I know that had kittens chose the piano stool to
give birth).

Keep an eye on her and ONLY if things look to be going badly should you
make an intervention. There are some good guides on the internet.

All the best and we expect photos of the little ones.

Who needs a half-eaten placenta in their piano stool?

That's why I suggested locking the cat out of the house until after the
birth.

Has anyone here actually been shown a video by their mate of his wife
giving birth?

I know several people who have recorded such a video but I have never
seen a copy.

This was the first hit I got when googling, which backs up what you've

I've left blankets and old bedding in strategic quiet, warm places in

Good advice there. Providing an array of boxes in various places can increase the odds of her choosing one of them... to almost 10%. Cats need to give birth indoors or the kittens are at much greater risk from fatal hypothermia & predators.

A cracking suggestion and one that I will forget. Kittens need warmth.

Yes, I suppose there are other considerations than just preserving the

If she has gone into labour I expect the pair of you "to have kittens"

She will be fine.

And in six weeks time you will need new curtains and a new settee.

Just so long as they don't show them to me. I guess that viewing through
a lens whilst filming may lead to a degree of abstraction bit like
watching on the television. But I don't see the point of it anyway
(filming, not giving birth!)

Yes. People with more than one brain cell will understand this.
