Not to agrue because every situation is different, but I really think it really depends on the cat. My cat was very young, not even 9 months old when she gave birth and seemed very happy to have me there. Plus, if I hadn't been there, we would have lost two of the kittens senselessly. I just sat at my computer all night long and kept watch, helping when I was needed. I also handled the kittens immediately the next day and they turned out to be the healthiest, happiest cats I have. Sasha never tried to move them after I picked them up to weigh them or love them. She was just there watching them and me. For us, the way I did it worked out just perfect. I think other cats, especially barn cats would probably be a different story.
