I'm taking care of a mommy cat that doesn't seem to be all that interested in being a mommy. She is feeding them but I don't think they are getting enough. Would be be okay for me to feed them three times a day to help take the burden off of her? She is not eating and I have to force feed her four times a day. She finally had a bowel movement yesterday. I have contacted many vets and they all say it is stress related and not to move her for awhile and just make sure she is eating.
So any one have any tips, tricks, or links on how I can help mom to raise the little ones? I'm hoping she will snap out of it. If she doesn't hubby and I are just going to have to make arrangements to become full time cat mommies. My dad is a teacher and home in the summer so he might be able to help. I also have a friend that is a stay at home mom that might be able to take over mommy duties during the day well we are working. She has actually hand raised before, I'm just hoping it doesn't have to come to that.
Also how soon can I give them kitten glop? I'm goign to find that thread now and do some reading.
