We took on an 8 month old cat as the previous owner couldnt take her to her new home. We was told that she was never allowed out but after about 2 weeks of her living with us we found out she was about 5 weeks pregnant and that was about 4 weeks a go now. She gave birth on Saturday (yesterday) to 7 kittens and as far as I know this is her first litter.
Mum seems to be very skittish, rushing around and leaving her kittens but she does seem to respond to the kittens mewing, but we went out today and found the 2 smallest kittens had died, she is now left with 5 fairly strong kittens but I am worried that more will die.
We go on holiday tomorrow for 4 nights and I have someone coming in to see her at least 4 times in the day just to see if she is ok, do you think that I should ask my friend to come over more than that?
I dont know what to do for the best, please advise.
