This evening a very young mother cat showed up at our door, carrying one lone kitten. She literally begged for help.
She is SO friendly!
The kitten is less than a week, no umbilical, eyes shut tight. He appears to be very healthy; no yucky bottom, clean, proper weight/size, no major fussing.
Mother is less than a year, and is underfed. She scarfed down lots of food. I noticed the kitten isn't nursing. She isn't offering, and he isn't asking, no kneading.
Upon closer examination, I checked her teats for milk. She doesn't appear to have any!!
Her milk glands are very small. I massaged a little, like a kitten, hoping that would work.
Is there anything else I can try?
She's a very inexperienced mommy!
