Yesterday, the mom seemed fine; she caught a bird while on bathroom break. Could something like worms come on this fast? I'm also guessing that she may have got into something poisonous, and crawled off and died.
While inside yesterday, she let out a deep bellowing sound. Also, in the last couple hours, she didn't want to nurse. Is anyone familiar with the deep bellowing? I'm just trying to come up with what the possibilities are of why she disappeared. With 5 week old kittens, would she take off to mate? Your opinions are appreciated. All but one kitten took to food; i will take take the advice from this forum and mix some formula with kitten food. Thank you, Damian
Also, if she did take off to mate, when should i expect her back? one day, two days? Should i let her continue to nurse until the 8 week mark (if she will/if she comes back)?
