Hello!
A stray cat has given birth in a flower pot on my balcony. She gave birth to three kittens but unfortunately on Sunday morning one of them died. The other two seem to be doing okay in general. The mom also seems more attentive than first as I see her cleaning them a lot more frequently (first few days I hadn’t seen her doing t at all) but shes also leaving them for longer stretches of time (3-4 hours) a few times per day.
now my problem is that I weighed the kittens this morning and one of them has not gained weight since yesterday. It’s currently 203 grams which I’ve seen it’s normal but is it okay for it not to have gained weight? The other has gained about 10 grams.
I‘m really worried as I really don’t want another kitten to die. I also have no previous experience with cats or kittens so I’m feeling very lost right now.
