Also you can probably return those cans if you saved your receipt.

What kind of cat is mamma? Those kittens have very unique markings. They look like photos of  bengals that I have seen. Very beautiful.

This is from the Post Birth Complications Article at the top of the page.

Dysgalactia

That is the medical term for insufficient milk to feed the kittens. If the kittens are restless or constantly crying, it could be because they are hungry. Milk supply should increase as Kitty feeds them—if not, you’ll have to supplement the supply and bottle feed them every couple of hours.

How do you know there is no milk?

Are the kittens crying? You won't see milk, but rather her mammary glands should be filling, though the first couple of days the kittens are getting colostrum.

They are probably getting colostrum. Her milk should be coming in. Are her mammary glands beginning to look baggy around her nipples?

Her nipples just look dry I remeber seeing another cat that had kittens and she was just dripping with milk but mind you that was a long time ago :-( they are pretty quiet and moving around the only two that look like they are filling up are the bottom two the others don't dont like they are filling up at all still flat

Do the kittens seem hungry?

Do you have KMR and a syringe for supplementing?
