New kittens

[dustybluebel]

Two days ago my cat gave birth to a litter of 5, one of the kittens sadly is very small and weak, it seems unable to feed, how can I help it?

i would get onto your vets and get some formula milk and try syringe feeding it to give it a start .sadly years ago i had this problem with a kitten she lived till she was 6 weeks but i still lost her the mother seemed to know there was somthing wrong with her and did not bother with her i hope you have better luck with yours

[dustybluebel]

It's awful I know dusty but that is natures way[survival of the fittest.Hope the others are ok.

So far so good with the others, the mother has moved them all into my daughters bedroom draw, I think that perhaps its quieter there, do you think this is normal behaviour?

[ruthann58]

yes it is normal for her to move them she wants them somewhere quiet and safe my cat took hers in the cupboard under the sink
