Question
I am looking to find out what the normal behavior after the birth of a litter is for the mother cat? Bleeding, strength etc.

Answer
well im not sure how much bleeding there should be after the afterbirth comes out, not much i think. and she will be weak and tired. i usually put a handful of hard food right in the bed or birthing area for the mother, and she usually eats it all, that way she can stay with her babies and let them nurse while she sleeps.
