So far the stray I took in had 1 kitten. It looks just like it's mom, a tabby (looks a bit like a really tiny racoon)
.
Other than the fact that it doesn't seem to spend much time near any nipple, it seems okay. It seems like it's just sleeping. I was under the impression that it would need to be at it's mom's nipple a lot when first born, but it seems like it just wants to sleep (and mom just wants to rest before popping any more kittens out as well). Is this pretty normal for it to be sleeping and not drinking much milk yet? It was just born an hour ago.
I'm going to sleep, but I'll post an update when she's finished giving birth to the other kitten (or possibly other 2 kittens, we're not sure yet).
