My cat has never lost a kitten. She only has four at a time though. The first time she gave birth, she did indeed need me right there next to her.
She climbed onto my bed and meowed at me, and I sat up half awake, and saw that she was squinting and breathing heavy, and her whiskers were flicking forward. I'd never seen a cat give birth before, so I just got up and started going "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" and went over to the kitchen. My cat followed me, meowing at me, already in labor. I'd already cleared out an area in the pantry for her, and put sheets and a comforter in there for her, but she didn't like it. She instead ended up having them on a suitcase I had under a table not far from there. I draped a sheet over the table, since I was afraid to move the kittens having no experience with it. She stayed there for three days with them, and I had to hold the food under her head for her to eat because she was afraid to leave them. On the third day she came into my room, and pawed at my dresser drawer. So I opened it, and she jumped inside and looked around, then jumped back out. A minute later she was back with a kitten in her mouth.
She likes keeping her kittens in my dresser for some reason. And I've learned with her that once she's made her mind, there's no changing it.
