I have a 3 yo cat who delivered a surprise undeveloped fetal kitten- stillborn and one nearly hairless premie that died a few hours after birth. Tinkerbelle ( the Mom ) is still pregnant- the other(s?) are still moving, seem strong, and she is not in labor any more. She appears healthy, but was upset when we took the dead ones away, though she didn't attempt to nurse the live- born one much, as it was unable to do so anyway.
We do not have a regular vet- we used to but, husband had health problems and also lost his job...
Should we expect Tinkerbelle to carry the remaining kitten(s) to full term, or worry about her?
This is my first time here.
Tinker is not our only cat- I took in a pregnant stray, and her kittens are 9 weeks old... if Tinkerbelle has more and abandons them, do you think the stray (Widget) will be able to nurse Tinker's?
Thanks,
Chrysalis
