I adopted a street cat in Feb 2022,
She recently gave birth to 2 kittens (her first time), one died on day 3nd, the most possible reason is that she sat on it, cause I found him in the corner of the nest, cold dead in the morning, and the other one on top of it, maybe he was trying to keep itself warm,
The other one is now 5 day old, and my cat sometimes ignore him, like she yesterday she left her for 1 hour, and she takes frequent breaks from of 5-15 minutes, i've to sit near where her nest is and make her go back.
Its my first time with raising a kitten, she doesn't cry at all which worries me, everything else seems fine, she is warm to touch but when the mother cat leaves i use rice heat pads to keep her warm.
Today morning she felt extremely lethargic to me do i have her warm sugar water, she seemed fine after it.
The nest is in my cupboard, (mother cat choose it) it has two doors so i keel the other one half opened for ventilation.
Whenever mother cat leaves i keep it 1/3rd opened
Any advice? Cause idk what to do, i haven't slept for more than an hour in the last 3 days
The problem is she isn't feeling warm to touch even when she is with her mother.
Also the mother cat grooms her too much
