Goooood morning everyone!!! I’m so glad I found this site.
Our almost 2 year old fur baby had herself a litter of kitties about 36 hours ago. She had 5 momma has been doing an amazing job caring for them and has since started leaving them for a little bit at a time to explore & potty and what seems like to just get herself a break lol. When she’s away and starts to hear her babies cry; she’ll start growling under her breathe as she returns to them. My hubby said it’s her basically complaining like can I have just 5 min but babies all seem to be healthy and have been active. We’ve got 1 that’s very vocal lol
Anyways; yesterday evening I noticed that one of them was lifting his head and what looks like panting. Almost like you sometimes do when you’re about to sneeze but it won’t come out. It’s actually quite adorable. I just woke up and went to check on them (momma came out to say good morning and drink her water from our filtered water faucet she’s so goofy) and I noticed one of the other babies is starting to do the panting thing too. I started doing some googling (and found this site ) however I was also reading off of some other sites that it could be a sign that something else is going on. They could be dehydrated; or too hot; or not getting enough milk and a few other things and that we should seek immediate medical attention for all of them. I’m a natural worry wart especially when it comes to all of our babies (both human & furry) and just need some peace of mind and reassurance that what they are doing is normal for newborn kittens to do before I go rushing to the vet. I’m recovering from a hefty back surgery and getting around hasn’t been the easiest the last few weeks.
How do you know if momma isn’t producing enough milk or any milk at all. She’s a huge fluff ball and since we found out she was preggers I’ve been worried about how her babies will find their way through all of her fur. Don’t laugh but I actually asked my hubby if we need to shave her belly so it’ll be easier for them to get to their milk lol
Anyways; I just need some reassurance. Has anyone else who has experienced this with their newborn kitties; did it stop? Did a vet need to intervene?
Thanks so much and congrats to all of the new fur mommas!!
Here’s momma a few hours after she gave birth to her little beauties
