Angie lost 2 kittens last night. I'm not sure why as she's with them almost all the time. I'm wondering if she doesn't have enough milk. She insisted on moving her remaining kitten and is very unsettled.
Maddy moved her kittens--we found them when looking for Angie's. I maybe able to get a pic of them when she's not in with them.
Here is a pic of Maddy with her kittens. She now has them in a 15 gal soap drum that has been thoroughly rinsed and aired out with a small door on one end and a couple vent holes on the other. It's not the best pic to see the kittens but, she hasn't left them since moving them. Before we saw her around all the time and now she's sticking tight.
And here's Angie's one remaining kitten in the old rabbit hutch where someone has eaten a pigeon.
I mixed up a batch of kitten milk tonight and fed the little one. It drank some and then it's tummy was round and full. It still cried and cried. Poor little thing. The rest of the cats were jumpy this morning too.
Could you not possibly get the two cats to share motherhood? That way if the single isn't getting enough from it's real mom it will have a backup, but her mom still gets to be a mom.
We have one kitten that will be a week old tomarrow.
