I rescued a cat about 6 weeks ago and she was pregnant and had her kitten yesterday, she was doing great all day yesterday then evening came and she ignores the cries usually for a while but eventually goes to the kitten for feeding. I have tried petting mama while she feeds the kitten but as soon as I leave, she usually gets out of the box too, even if the kitten is searching for her for more milk, not always though. I didn't weigh the kitten yesterday as I didn't have scale until today and it showed 108 grams. Also, I noticed today that the kitten had dried poop on it's bottom, is mom not doing the job of making baby go potty? I cleaned up and rubbed with a damp wash cloth. I bought some kmr and a bottle and syringe in case I do end up needing to help the little one. I guess, my question is, when do I know if I need to start helping by feeding baby the kmr? Mama will definitely be getting spayed after this.
