Hello, I am new here and have a question I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere...I'm hoping someone can help!
We "adopted" a very pregnant cat, and she recently gave birth to 3 healthy kittens a little over a week ago). For the past few days (that I have noticed) I have been hearing shrieks from their box. It doesn't happen all the time, but I finally caught what was going on and I am a little worried as I am not sure it is normal. One kitten is quite a bit larger than the other 2, and it seems when one of the smaller ones are latched on, the big grey kitten comes barging in and pushes/scratches and rips the feeding kitten off then takes over. The little kittens make this shrieky meow sound when the big one is scratching at their heads. Is this normal? I don't want the other 2 little ones to get hurt (my main concern). I believe they are getting their fill also, but I am just shocked by what is happening and it breaks my heart in a way.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
