Hi,
Pixie's kits will be 6 weeks old on Monday and are doing great. However Pixie (mum cat) is driving me mad! She is meowing all the time, sometimes it's when they are playing and she's watching them and she gives a real whiny groany meow and other times they may be asleep or when she's restless - which is quite a lot! She isn't sleeping much and is very hungry. We are feeding her lots as she's a very small cat anyway and the kits are still nursing from her at times, but this last week her appetite is bigger than ever, when I thought it should be subsiding a bit now they're not nursing off her so much.
Also she is looking thin. Do you think it could be worms? I think I will treat her and the kits anyway just in case. She has always been small and thin, but looks thinner than ever. It may be just feeding the kits all these weeks taking it's toll. Also do you think the meawing is because the kits are becoming more independent now and it's strange for her?
Thanks for your help - will post some more pics next week!
