Hi all...
Our little lady cat gave birth this weekend....6 kittens spread over 3 days....all but one were breech...and we lost the first three
....but, we have three happy, healthy, wiggly kittens left!
I have never done this before, our cats are all rescues....so if someone could please help me out here....
Momma and babies are in their own room, its quiet and warm...I'm keeping it about 85 degrees....they have a roomy kittening box....momma has food, water and litter as well....what worries me is that she keeps leaving the kittens alone in the box while she goes off and lays near the door or under the bed where its cooler....she goes to them if they cry and lays with them...lets them nurse...and stays for awhile...but as soon as they're asleep she goes off again....
Is this normal behaviour? Or should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance,
Missy
