Hi all, I'm new to your site and new to kitty rescue. A mama cat had three kittens two weeks ago in Grandma's closet and disappeared on Friday night. We left the babies alone most of the day Saturday hoping she would return. By Saturday evening I couldn't stand it any longer and took the babies to hand raise. They are doing great after a very frustrating night of trying to feed them. I'd all but given up and decided they should be put to sleep instead of letting them starve. I prayed all night and decided to take them in at 10 am Sunday to the pound. Thank God!! They started eating that morning and are doing great. I have a small problem. They haven't had a bowel movement since their mom left on Friday night, today is Monday night. What my real question is...how long do I wait for them to have a bowel movement. I try to consider that they didn't eat at all Saturday so didn't really expect one Sunday but did expect one today. When should I start worrying?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
