New cat owner, actually its my daughters cat but shes not here. And im clueless to cats. Pregnant cat had kittens yesterday. One kitten never would latch on. Mom cat wouldnt even clean it. It Just laid there yelping. I cleaned it best i could with soft towel and tried to get it to latch on a tit. Nope. Hes not having it. Mom cat just looks at me like im stupid.
Other new kittens stay in a group. Eat fine. Mom licks them and they are all fluffy and appear fine. But this one its scraggly looking and wont stay with the other new ones. Not sure if his choosing or mom keeps them separated cause i dont sit and watch in box every second. I check on them every couple hours and they are always seperated so i move little guy back with group and walk away. Always come back to him either under mom like shes trying to lay on him?? Or hes just in corner alone.
Is it gonna die?
Why mom cat not like it?
Its not very active. Other kittens crawling all over each other. This little guy doesnt crawl any. I get feeling his legs dot work too well. They move but its like he doesnt have as much energy as others
And mom keeps laying on him!
Any advise
