Hi,
My cat gave birth to 5 kittens on the 12th June in early morning. The birthing went well, first time mother. However recently she keeps sitting or lieing on them. We have to pick her up and arrange her more suitably. She also keeps walking away. Once they start squeling she comes back. But shes been going more often recently and for longer 5-10mins. She is still feeding them and does clean their bums. When she leaves them we're putting in a hot water bottle. At the moment they have a box in a quiet corner, litter tray 2metres away, Food bowl 2/3 feet away.
Bit concerned how often she is leaving them at the moment. Any advice would be great thanks, also any advice on what to do if it get worse, like how old before we can safely help the feeding etc.
Thanks
