Hi, new to the site and could really use some help.
About a month ago we took in a pregnant stray, sweetest cat. She had 3 kittens less than two weeks ago.
Today I look in on them and she’s got the smallest (still healthy weight just smallest of 3) in a headlock,bunny kicking a 1 week old kitten.
Is this normal??? I expect rough play when they’re old enough but this seems super young.
They’re in a playpen and mom has ability to come and go as she pleases. I took kitten out for a minute then put her back in. She started to roughly clean her then seemed to bite at her. I took her out again and tried calling vet, can’t get ahold of them. Put her back again and she let kitten nurse and they’re now all sleeping. Is it safe to leave her with mom or do we need to take her away? (We are prepared with supplies to bottle feed if necessary. )
Thanks for any tips!!
