We have to wonder female cats who we love very much and do plan to get spayed as soon as the kittens are weaned.
Cyn cat #1 had two still borns a few months ago, then cat #2 Lucy got pregnant and gave birth to four kittens on Oct 29...all the kitties are now in good homes. Just as we were about to get her spayed, Cyn #1 gave birth to two more kittens (it was hard to tell she was pregnant)
These two kittens lived and one of them is thriving and is eating great. Kitten #2 is very tiny though, and Cyn seems to not pay as much attention to him as she does to kitten #1. She does clean him and feed him, but he's only about 2/3 the size of his sister. (They're four weeks old)
Meanwhile Lucy cat #2 keeps *stealing* kitten #2....and keeps trying to hide him. Both adult cats will groom the babies,and play with them, but I'm worried about kitten #2. Confused yet? lol
Also Cyn #1 and mommy will seperate both babies, and will literally wrap #baby in blankets so we have to unroll him to find him!
Any suggestions?

Kitten not thriving, mother tends to ignore it? - bbwvixen, Thu Jan 12 22:24:56 2006
