Hey there all! My cat, Meadow, of one month just gave birth to 5 kittens!The previous owner said she was approx. 7-8 months at the time. I was so glad I had just gotten home before she started pushing. She struggled and left her nest when the contractions started. She ended underneath my couch seat (went thru the fabric in the back in the part that wasn't velcroed to couch). Kittens aren't warm in that area. I moved them all into her nest which I placed right in front of where they were so I could replace bedding and in hopes they would stay there. She then picked them up and took them back over to under the couch. I would like to clean under that area as I could only get a pee pad under her for a couple of kittens. Can I move them to another spot? How do I make her want to stay there? If it doesn't work, how can i keep them warm under the couch?
One of the kitten's hind legs are stretched all the way back. Looks like Harry Potter's arms when he lost all of the bones in his arm, the way it moves all the way back. Does anyone know the prognosis? Is the cat otherwise healthy? Will it be able to walk? Can I do anything to help it?
Meadow has not liked any kind of wet food in the month that I've had her. Now that her caloric intake should triple since she's had her kittens, what are some other healthy, but hefty, options you all may have had in this situation?
Also, is she supposed to clean herself? She has yet to and it's been two hours. should I wash her?
Thanks!
