I recently got a new cat who is about a year old but we didnt know she was pregnant -she gave birth to one kitten 4 days ago.
At first she would leave the kitten for hours and stay with me upstairs, but for the past two days she has been with the kitten 24/7 .. She is not leaving it even for 5 minutes.. Is this normal?
Also, it appears that she is not using her litter box as often and she is not eatting as often either... But when we put some kibble into the box where she is with the kitten she will eat it.. We put the food right outside the box after we noticed it.
One other question, i have read on some other threads that we should of gotten her on kitten food during the pregnancy and while shes nursing.. And as we didnt know she was pregnant the birth was totally unexpected. We are buying kitten food very soon but we should give her the kitten food right away? Or should we make the transition gradual like any other cat food?
**If there is anything else that i should know pleasee free feel to post it
