My mom has a outside cat who is 13 years old..she got pregnant a few months ago and gave birth sat night (two days ago) to one kitten.
I didnt even know cats at that age could get pregnant. But thats besides the point.
So she had kittens about 3 years ago but was unable to feed them and they passed before we knew what happened.
So I dont want that to happen again, and it just so happens i was in the market for another cat.
So what course of actions should i take? I have gotten a kitten milk supplement and a baby nursing bottle. Ive been feeding the mother cat extra food.
The kitten seems to be strong as of now and fiesty. Whenever i check in the mother the kitten is between her legs (cat tell if its nursing or not).
Should i start supplementing the kittens diet with the replacement milk now? Or wait? What signs should i look for that the kitten isnt eating enough? When can i touch the kitten (not to hold, but to weigh) the morher knows me very well and i am one of the only people she wont growl at when i check out the kitten.
Any other info would be great! Thanks
