Hi all.... I've been looking to this Forum throughout my newly adopted Cat's pregnancy. She just had 6 kittens yesterday morning, July 11th. She is young, maybe one year old and up until yesterday, she was very "Bite-y.... scratch-y" to me.... So I've been concerned about the babies when they come. Her whelping box is right beside the bed in the spare bedroom where I've been sleeping. When she went into labor... she was all lovey dovey to me... and to the babies. This morning I saw her bite two of the babies in the head.... it looked like she was saying "Get out of my face" more so than "I want to kill you"..... but still.... they aren't even 2 days old.... She seems to feel the need to stay in there with them even when they are asleep...... and when I come around... she wakes them up.... licking them..... she did take a break this afternoon.... coming into the kitchen with me..... Now she doesn't seem to want to leave the box...... All the kittens are alive and well..... and I've noticed... they don't hang around her face anymore......
My question is..... because she is so young..... would it be beneficial if I started supplementing the feeding by sitting there beside the box and feeding some KMR? Maybe giving her a little break? Or would that be confusing to the kittens digestive systems?
