Trying to tame a "drop off" on my property that has 5-6 week old kittens (5 of them). The babies are quite fat and sassy, but the mama, Lily, is SUPER skinny. She won't eat unless they're fed and asleep. In fact, she'll carry them to HER food to eat instead of eating herself. We've tried to feed them separately, but it's hard when she's not 100% tame yet.
Any ideas? We currently feed wet food, "milk" (kitten milk), and kitten chow. The babies are doing well with all three, but Lily just won't eat unless they're cared for. Nice characteristic of a mama cat, I guess, but SHE is down to a skeletal frame now and I'm not sure what to do further.
Ideas appreciated.
