My cat had 6 kittens, she is taking care of them and all are doing well and today are 2 days old. I'm concerned for the littlest out of the brood. The kitten doesn't seem to interested in feeding but will for short periods. The kitten also is very active constantly meowing and does not seem interested in sleeping in the kitten bundle. It immediately moves away from the mother and other kittens when it finishes eating. I have observed it sleeping by itself numerous times. The mother is attentative to it cleans it, hasn't shunned it. They are kept in a large plastic container with walls that are about foot and a half tall. This morning they were all eating this kitten quit first moved away from mother and siblings to the container wall and clawed at the wall as if trying to get out and further away, and while doing this meowed continuously. I picked the little one up and put him by the mom's kneck. The mom licked the kitten she seems attached to it but this seemed to increase the kittens meowing and it moved away from the mother and siblings again, continuously meowing until I think it exhausted it self and fell asleep alone. Ive fostered many mommas and there kittens, and bottle fed a couple litters that were orphaned and have never encountered this. Has anyone else seen a newborn kitten seem to purposely isolate itself. I'm wondering if he is sick or it's just an odd character trait in some kittens and he is fine.
