Cats

[Catlady24]

How come my cat meows at me when I go over to the nesting box to observe her and her kittens?

Hi! She could be saying, "look at my darling children", or "hi, is everything ok out there?" Or any number of things.
Does she seem normal to you? Eating and drinking and using the litter? I'm not familiar with how quickly a mother cat starts eating as usual, but she does need to eat...

 

[Catlady24]

Hi! Yes she's eating and drinking fine uses the litter box , and is an excellent mother to the baby's I can hear them suckling now lol
She just always meows and starts purring and rolling over when I sit near the box

Oh that's so wonderful to hear, --she's sharing her motherly feline happiness with you, that's what I think

It sounds like she wants a chin or behind the ear scratch why she is nursing the kittens Since she is so comfortable with you, don't be surprised if she ropes you into baby sitting sometimes I'm glad they are all doing well.

*I'm guessing you probably know this since you mentioned a birthing box but just in case, mom needs kitten food why she is producing milk.

Hi everyone! My cats kittens are 10 days old today i noticed one kittens eyes are open but the other kittens eyes are still closed do any of you know why this could be ?

Eyes opening at ten days is normal. It's also normal for some kittens to take a little longer than others. The rest of the litter should open their eyes soon.

Be sure you don't force their eyes open - that can seriously injure them. Just give them some time.

Hello! How many kittens are in the litter?

Are you able to keep mom and kittens 100% inside and away from intact males?

There were three, but unfortunately the runt passed away just a few short days after birth, so now we just have 2 , and yes they are all inside , my cat is an inside cat but a few months ago she went into heat snuck out for hours and ended up being pregnant definitely getting her fixed once the kittens are weened
