Tx for the report!
I hope everyone is good and thriving?
So she delivered on day 70?
Father is prob a tuxedo him too, ie having a big white spot area... Grey or black. Anyway, he carries the dilutation gene.
Momma carries the dilutation gene, although herself black.
OK, so we must presume its it. :)
I guess it was a planned mating? You had the stud guesting to do the job? Its more common wife comes to stud, but some studs are ok with coming to the lady.
I have never heard about moringa powder. I will google more.
Anyways, may be good, may be so so, but surely nothing which is necessary for cats.
The food you are giving sounds good.
1 stands for the powder, 2 stands for water. and 1 stands for powder, 3 stands for goats milk... Of course, in the later, you dont need to have it all goats milk - if you want it a little more fluid you have some water in there.
It is one of our experienced forumites whom experimentated...
yOU can probably do both, as goats milk is mild and shouldnt upset the tummy.
The advice is, instead of the usual mixining of 1:2, have a 1:3 ratio...
This advice was for raw goats milk, but Meyenbergs should go fine too.... I know forumites whom happily used Meyenberg for their rescued orphan...
Do you feel her kittens move? If so, its about 2 weeks left.
A pretty classic tabby. I suppose most kittens will be more or less copies of her, as classic tabby is fairly dominant. dominates at least over non tabby.
Agree with the above.
A tip: An IR-lamp may help up with warming up of these leg tissues, makig it easier to gimnastisize them.
That said, its not impossible baby is a little behind, so to speak. It happens with humans, it surely may happen with cats.
Out in nature, or for a breeder. it...
if its KMR as label, so its surely PetAg´ags. Their powder version, to mix up yurself, has a very good reputation. Their premixed one - by some reason, isnt as good. Causes problems sometimes!
So, if problems continues, do change. Goats milk is usually without problems.
Also, you can...
What kmr do you use? Can you get raw goats milk? Where - what country - do you live?
Simethicone, the same as for babies with problems with air in stomach - may help, shouldnt hurt. A couple of drops now and then.
Simethicone may be sold in different brand names, but the inhold is...
I agree. The heavy money bet is she is a domestic longhair, DLH, mackerel tabby.
But if you wish to compare her to an established breed, so probably Siberian... Many siberians are biggish, almost in class with Norwegians and MCO, but i have noticed the modern Siberians arent often that...
If she and the black cat are good friends, you probably dont need to isolate them. Blackie may perhaps even co-parent.
But if she shows she prefer to be alone without blackie, or get stressed - do separate them.
ps. Is blacke a tom? Toms arent dangerous to kittens to a female they are...
I agree with you here happened some nasty bad, and yeah, it seems she tried to kill the kitten - when a tom kills a kitten its usually this way you describe, by shaking to death - it breaks the spinal cord "broken neck". But kitten did survive? no visible harm??
Anyway, you must isolate her...
Let me take it the other way. Reputable breeders have good contact with a good vet. And so, they see it as completely natural, to contact the vet if they notice any problems they cant manage with home remedies or by their own long experience and good knowledge.
Also, their cats are usually...
Eating grass isnt dangerous, cats do so, in part it helps them to throw up their hair balls...
Some owners even give them grass to numble on, its typically young wheat (wheat is biologically a specie of grass)
But what it has to do with being high preg I dont know...
I agree with both above.
Its well known bottle babies are often longer to wean. Nothing peculiar, kittens with momma wish to COMFORT nurse some on her for perhaps 10 weeks...
Dont worry, she sees your adult cats eating by their own, so she has someone to take example from....
You dont...
