Question
My cat just had 2 kittens a day apart one did not make it the other is feeding and is doing just fine
My cat seems to be doing really well to she is eating and takeing good care of her kitten but it looks like her discharge is slightly bloody it dose not smell bad, there is no swelling, and she dosn't seem to be in any pain but just to be safe should i check her birth canal for more kittens?
I can't feel any more when i rub her belly
Hi Skookums,
It is not usual to have the kittens a day apart. To be on the safe side I would have your vet check her out. The bloody discharge worries me. It may be nothing but I would rather be safe than sorry. Have her checked out. Good luck.
Ciao, Karen

Some thoughts to carry with you.
A Cat's 10 Commandments
My life is likely to last 15-20 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only you.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
Before you swat me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could draw blood. And claws to strike back. And yet I choose not to attack you.
If I don't act right then have me checked to see what is wrong.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God's critters. Pass this on.
