I have a female cat that has had kittens before, over 1 year ago, and she is currently allowing my 3, 3 week old, kittens to nurse on her, will she actually start lactating for them?
The cat is not spayed,she just stopped having kittens. The kittens do have a mom, however I have been having to supplement them, as she doesn't get in with them often. The mom doesn't mind the other cat, she still nurses with her in the box.
The kittens and the cat that is not their mother.
She may get milk soon. I'd be curious to know if you manage to check her mammary glands. Otherwise it's comfort suckling, which is fine. Does this cat lick the kittens too?
Are the kittens getting enough to eat otherwise from their mom and your supplementing?
