My Female Lucy gave birth in the End of Feb 15 to 7 very healthy kittens! She is only a kitten herself she turns 1 this month 6-15. I took her in at the start of her pregnancy, Not knowing she was pregnant. When the kittens were about 6 weeks we brought in a orphan and she bonded instantly like she was part of the litter. Lucy took her right in and even breastfed her for a couple days! Now the Kittens have since been re-homed.We did the whole process slowly for her since after the first kitten being re-homed she was pretty frantic. So i let the first 1 go and waited another few days. It was a 3 week process re-homing them all. We kept 1 to make the transition easier on her, or at least thats what I thought. The last kitten of her litter (besides the one we kept) was re-homed close to 3 weeks ago now. The orphan stayed until memorial day weekend. My concern is besides the first kitten going, she no longer seemed to care after the other ones were re-homed. But now its been weeks since her other kittens have been gone and she didn't start looking for them until 4 days ago and when I say looking she is frantically searching for them. She is currently wait listed to be spayed for another couple of weeks, will that help get her out of this funk? She just went into heat today (No possible way for her to get outside, She is never near an open door or window ) could that be making her hormonal and causing her to be this way? She's always been a pretty eccentric girl. I just feel terrible watching her stalk thru every room looking for them. Sniffing their trail and going in the tote i used as her kittening box for the first few days after they were born (its cleaned out now but sure she knows that was the nest) Would it possibly be better for her to re-home the kitten we were going to keep as that may be triggering her to look for the others? I just can't bear to watch her act so sad and frazzled. And as i said i could understand if this was 3 weeks ago but why is it just starting now?
