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.
If multiple cats use the same box, wait until you see the cat in question leave his gift in the box or take a sampling of the stools in the box. Kittens may need to see the vet at two to three weeks and again at about five weeks to make sure no worms are present. If the kittens do have worms, a treatment regime may include monthly treatments over the course of several months. Never give kittens a dewormer that is meant for an adult cat.
