Lucy, the mother cat, had a single kitten 3 days ago under my bed. I did not witness the birth or even know it happened untill I heard the kitten cry. Lucy does not stay with the kitten at all. She runs to it when it is crying and that's it. And now even that is iffy. About an hour ago she brought the kitten into my daughters bed (while my daughter was sleeping). I put Lucy and baby into a laundry basket lined with a clean sheet. Lucy then took the kitten out of that and brought it into my sons room and put it in my sons bed, while my son was sleeping in it. We watched Lucy and the baby for a bit. She cleaned the baby and cuddled it but it doesn't seem the baby is nursing and Lucy feels like she is starting to dry up, he pouch is getting smaller. I moved Lucy and baby into a laundry basket in my room (my kids are toddlers). The kitten has a cold wet nose, if the kitten cries Lucy goes right to it, she is bathing it, but idk if this all is normal. The moving the kitten, it not appearing to eat, Lucy's shrinking pouch, her not staying with her kitten. Has she abandoned it? Is this kitten sick?
