I took in (yet another) pregnant stray recently. Heavily pregnant but in good health according to the vet.
She went into labour last night and delivered 2 stillborn kittens and 2, what looked like, lumps of meat in kitten form. Plus 4 placentas.
Vet check today says all is well physically with mum .
Mum cat was devastated. She tried for ages to revive the stillborn kittens.
Anyway, I also have another stray who had 1 kitten. That kitten is 5.5 weeks old.
Now the bereaved mum cat has decided that the 5.5 week old kitten is hers. She is fiercely protective of her and will bite if you try to touch the kitten. She keeps trying to pick her up and go upstairs with her. The kittens actual mum is not too happy about this.
Bereaved cat is yowling for the kitten and it's heartbreaking to witness.
How can I help her?
