Me and my mom had a cat outside named Momma Kitty. When she was pregnant she hurt her leg so we had to bring her inside. The first night she was ok. She whined a little and licked at her leg. The second night she got underneath the bed and she was crying. My mom thought it was her leg so she tried to grab her and take her from underneath the bed to try and comfort her. Then she realized Momma kitty was having her kittens. Before she could react, the kitten that was coming out fell from momma kitty and hit the floor. At the time we didn't think anything of it because the kitten acted fine. She was eating and doing everything a newborn kitten should do.

As she and her brother and sister grew up we starting noticing Smoky wasn't developing right. The two white kittens opened their eyes at around 2 and a half weeks but Smokey didn't open her eyes until 3 and a half weeks. When her brother and sister were learning to walk Smokey wasn't. She did of course she was just behind.

Now we have Smokey and her brother Sugar still. Sugar is three times the size of Smokey and I know male cats are bigger. But when her sister Snowflake left she was two times as big as Smokey.

Now Smokey used the litter box. It took a little effort to get her trained but we did it. She doesn't cover it up properly. Instead of scratching at the litter she scratces at the wall for almost 10 minutes. Every minute or so she looks back and notices its not covered so she continues and then she finally gives up. Our grown male cats come behind her and cover it for her. Also when its feeding time, our other cats come running. Smokey sits back and doesn't come eat until we pick her up and try to feed her. Then she realized to start eating and even then she doesn't eat much. She is very thin and very little despite being almost 3 months old. I don't know what's wrong with her.

Please help.

Smoky doesnt eat but maybe shell drink. If Smoky continues to not eat then I clearly wonder if Smoky deserves a visit to the vet. (By the way juvenile cats dont like milk so you could give Smoky water or almond milk)
