Hello , I'm new on here so if I'm posting my concerns on the wrong page, please direct me elsewhere.... so my story is pretty devastating (just a lil heads up) .... about 5 months ago our neighbors gots a divorce and the wife left behind her female cat, so of course we adopted her !! A few weeks after having her we noticed she was gaining weight and within a few days realized she was pregnant... my girls and I were so excited, I would just sit and pet her and feel all those little babies kick . We decided to keep her inside so when she had the babies they would be safe (we live in the country) ... well time came and while we were at work and school she had 5 beautiful little babies ... she seemed like such a good mama , always cleaning then and feeding them ... on the 3rd day after they were born my child called me at work devastated and totally freaking out... she found 4 of the 5 kitten dead ... my Husband said they had bite marks on them ... almost like our dog which is a mix between Chihuahua and Dashound had maybe tried to play with them ..this was all very hard for me to understand because our dog has trapped a mouse and just played with it until it just stopped moving and my husband said they mice never had bite marks ... but keep in mind the mama cat was with the babies the whole time and my thoughts were she would've attack Ellie ( our dog) if she was messing with the kittens ... so we only found 4 out of 5 and we believe the mama cat must've ate the 5th one , the kitten was no where to be found ... so here we are again a week after having 5 kittens she was pregnant again ... this time I decided to leave her out and just hope and pray all goes much better this time ..she had them last Thursday under our building and of course we can't get under there to see them... but i can't hear them and the past few days the mama cat hasn't been with them much at least when I'm home she's always sitting on our porch... she won't let me feel her nipples or even look at them much to see if it looks like she's been nursing them, I was able to glance today and they are swollen and like they are maybe crusty around them ??? I just was hoping someone could tell me what you think may be going on... Ive never had cats much less cats having cats !!!! but let me go ahead and say yes she will be getting her spayed asap before everyone tells me that
