Some years ago when my cat had kittens.. I made her a lovely comfy bed up about a week before)..
When she started to give birth.. she got out.. and scrurried about in the kitchen popping them out all over the place!!
I was running about behind her trying to pick them up.. one by the fridge.. one by the back door... one under the table.. etc.
When she had finished.. (with six of them).. I popped them back in the bed I had made.. she got in and it was all fine.
Hello Vonney!... hope you had good hols!

When my cat Blackie had her kittens, I put her in a bed too but she would not stay there unless I stayed there with her. When I left she would follow me. She ended up having them on the floor, then I did the same as Claire and put them in the bed after where she stayed too. The second time she gave birth in the closet.
It is strange as she did not like me except when she was in labor and then wanted to be with me. After the kittens were born she would bring them down and give one to each of us then go and meow at the door, she even left them with Sandy our male cat once, then when she came back in went and put each one back upstairs again.

Sorry no pet cats but my dog gave birth to ten puppies a few years back and the only thing I did was be close to her. Believe me they know exactly what to do.. Good luck

This happens a lot. More often, cats will look for comfort. When you're squeezing out kittens, comfort is in short supply.
If you can contain her in a bathroom or empty room, the dropping of passengers wont be too dramatic.
*lol...
Chances are, all will be fine.
(until the kittens begin running free- then you're on your own)

Just let your cat do her thing and she will take care of her babies. If she discards one of the kittens that means there is something wrong with the kitten and she can't take care of it anymore. Just do what you nomally do and your cat will do the rest. I hope that helped
