I'm sorry to hear that your cat is experiencing difficulty breathing after having kittens. Breathing difficulties in cats can be a serious concern, so it's essential to seek professional veterinary care.

In the meantime, there are a few general measures you can take at home to ensure your cat's comfort:

- Create a calm and quiet space for your cat to rest. Avoid loud noises, excessive activity, and stressors that may exacerbate her breathing difficulties.

- Make sure the room your cat is in is well-ventilated, with fresh air circulating. Avoid exposure to smoke, strong odors, or chemicals that could further irritate her respiratory system.

- Keep a close eye on your cat's breathing pattern. Note if there are any changes, such as rapid or shallow breathing, wheezing, coughing, or open-mouth breathing.

- Ensure your cat has access to clean water at all times. Good hydration is important for overall health and can help ease respiratory distress.

If your cat's breathing worsens or she shows signs of distress, such as pale gums, weakness, lethargy, or collapse, it is important to seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
