I've got them in separate rooms. I just hate to keep beta mom cooped in her room, as it's pretty small. 

4 each. They are all spoken for. 

I've got 2 moms this month. Alpha mom had kittens 8 days ago. Beta mom had kittens 1 day ago. Whenever I leave them alone, alpha mom takes beta's kittens to her kitten nest. Beta mom does not protest. I take them back to beta mom, who is doing a good job with them.  There's no chance that alpha...

The kittens look good now. All gained over 10 grams since yesterday. Very large round bellies. Mom has gotten into the routine and is doing a good job. Thanks for all of your help.

Will do. I'll give the smallest one another ml this eve. We're in an RV, so they are never more than 20 feet from me.  I really appreciate everyone's help on this. I'm much less stressed than I was this morning.

Mom is currently nursing more than she did earlier today. She's not getting up as much. But she doesn't wait for the kits to finish. She just gets up and walks off. She does not lick them afterwards. She was walking around and meowing constantly. But has stopped for the moment. 

Good info. Thanks. Mom picked out her spot yesterday. It's a little difficult for me to get to, but it's accessible. I have a heat pad next to them. I move them onto it when the mom is away. They appear to be warm enough. I tried giving the smallest one some formula from the syringe, but the...

Thanks everyone for your ideas. I have a small syringe and will thy that. It's 85 here inside. I'm trying to keep the kittens warm and me and mom cool. Will weigh them shortly.

Kittens were born yesterday, 4 born. I died in 3 hours, breathing problems. Last night was difficult. The mom would nurse the kittens for a few minutes, then get restless, get up, wander around. Get in bed with me. I would take her back to the kittens. She would stay for a few minutes. Then...
