Hi everyone -
I am brand new here - this is my first posting. I belong to a forum for my ball pythons, and know how helpful this type of site can be. So I sought out one for cats, in hopes of some major guidance.
My buddy found a young cat that looked like it belonged to someone - it had a flea collar on, but that was all. He had nowhere to bring it, so I told him to bring it over to my house and we would try to find it's home. I know what a pregnant belly feels like in rodents, and I noticed that her tummy was very hard like that. I could feel the kittens inside, and they were big.
I left for 3 hours and came back to a goey, crying cat. She showed me her 3 kittens, and a fourth came along in 20 minutes or so. My family of cats went from 1 to 6 in 3 hours! Goes to show you never know what a day can bring. Anyways,
My question is this; She came to us very skinny; I can feel her backbone. I dont think she is lactating, and the fur around her nipples is bone dry. I bought kitten formula, but I have no idea when I should declare war and use it. Any help would be appreciated!
