Hi
Is she eating drinking and using her litterbox normally? Are the kittens nursing, and when they're not nursing all piled together sleeping, rather than crawling around crying?

If everything is normal, it's likely just her way of "talking" to her babies. When does she make these sounds? Is she spending a lot of time with them, and when not nursing them regularly, is she cleaning them?

By the way, are you weighing the kittens?

Also, are you going to have her spayed as soon as possible?

Does it resemble this?


This is a normal cat behavior, from what I understand. My cat doesn't do it, but friends' cats do.

Not quite it sounds like a bird she might just be talking to her babies

Yeah, most of the time, with my friends' cats, when they do it, they are looking out a window and spot a bird or something. It's like an expression of excitement.

But it could also be kitten-chatter. Or maybe both.

Is it normal for one of the kittens eyes not to be open they are 2 weeks old the white one is a girl and the dark grey and white with a little orange is a boy the boy kittens eyes are open but my girls eyes are only open a tiny bit but she’s active

Is the eye crusty or having gunk around it? If so, gently wipe the crusties with a warm dampish cloth regularly.

If not, be sure to watch for drustiness around the eyelid, but don't do anything otherwise to hurry the process of the eye opening.

What I meant was are they crawling around and crying, rather than sleeping contentedly together.

You need to be weighing them to ensure they're gaining weight.
Oh no they get lots of sleep they don’t cry unless they are hungry and my little female one her eyes are opening up a little more so I think she might just be a little behind
