Three weeks ago I adopted a female cat from the local shelter as a friend for my older cat. She is a very tiny 2 year old with a lot of energy. Last night I came home and happened to notice something under my futon. When I went to look I discovered a dead kitten that she had delivered sometime while I had been at work. The kitten had obviously come full term as it was about 6 inches long and covered in beige fur. This was all a shock to me as I was not even aware I had adopted a pregnant cat. I was rather upset with the shelter for not having checked her thouroughly and informed me before hand.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me why the kitten would have died. I have never had a female cat before, let alone a pregnant one. I saw no reason that the kitten should have died but I don't really know anything about this sort of thing. What are your thoughts?
