Quick Answer. It takes up to seven hours for a cat to give birth to a litter of kittens. Once active labor begins, the first kitten normally arrives within an hour, with about 15 minutes between the birth of each kitten. As each kitten is born, the mother cat stimulates it to breathe by licking it with her rough tongue.
By keeping the cats separate, you can make sure each has eaten his food and there has been no stealing of food by the cat on a diet. Limited timed feeding should not be used in kittens less than 6 months of age. After 6 months, the feedings can be limited to twice a day. For example, if your cat's size and age dictates that he should be fed 1/2 cup of food per day, offer 1/4 cup food two times a day. If the cat does not eat at one of the feedings, don't add more food later. Each feeding, regardless if it is eaten or not, should contain 1/4 cup of food.
