my neighbor moved away & left her 6-7 year old cat behind, who happened to be pregnant....... she had 5 babies on Valentine's Day, which is unusual for her, she usually has only 2 or 3...... i have a few questions about the kittens.........
1.) do kittens usually pant? they're not hot, I checked them, & they are nursing frequently, & the mother has plenty of milk, I checked that also...... any insight would be helpful
2.) how do I tell if the mother is "pooping" them, they look bloated sometimes, but I think it may be from eating alot..... I tried to "poop" them with a warm baby wipe, but only pee..... I may be just paranoid, but I know it can kill them if the don't poop, especially the first "plug" after birth, but they are not always bloated.... please give advice
3.) is there anything I can give mommy kitty to eat that may make her milk more nutritious & maybe give her a boost (I am only feeding her cat food right now, just regular, no special diet or anything)
thanks
