Hello all! My sweet momma cat has just delivered her 1st litter. We've tragically lost 3 out of the 5, with these last 2 seemingly to be pretty healthy. It took momma 2 days and a lot of help from me to finally stay with her kittens and especially nurse! I've researched to the ends of the earth and still haven't found an answer to my much needed question: Will her kittens remain latched and nursing if there is no milk? Would they detach instantly if there was no milk? My concern comes from my checking of each nipple and not seeing milk from them. They seem content and fall asleep, as well as not crying or whimpering. (They're definitely urinating afterwards. But momma cleans too quick to check for poop) After losing the 3, I'm desperate and determined to make these 2 survive, even if I have to bottle feed intermittently or the whole time! Thanks!
