Hello everyone.
I feel very worried and panicing. I also feel like a complete idiot.
Two weeks ago my old cat had 3 wonderful kittens. She's an outdoor stray, that I've been taking care of for several years now. I'm not sure of her exact age, but she's at least 15 years old. Regardless, the birth went well, the kittens seem healthy, and everything was fine until today.
First, momma cat carried one of her kittens to my doorstep (They are living in a big box at my backyard). I didn't know what to think of it, so i carried the kitten back. Then, all day long, all 3 kittens (2 girls, 1 guy) seemed extra hyper. They were screaming, loud, long, climbing out of the box for the first time since they're born. Mother cat seemed strange too. She didn't want to stay in the box. She kept climbing out, following me, hiding inside the house. I though she's exhausted over the kittens screaming, and wants some peace.
It was only a few hours ago when it finally hit me.
The kittens are not hyper, they aren't screaming because of it. They are hungry.
But it seems like the mother cat cannot produce enough milk for them.
Unfortunatelly i do not know how to feed kittens, i don't have a feeding bottle, and all i have is cow milk (I read that it's not good for them). I live in a small village, nothing open anymore, and it's almost midnight here, and I'm freaking out.
I could really use some helpful advice. Thank you
