If i bottle feed the kittens, they will give up trying to nurse at all and the queen, a Himalayan, will dry up. My queen is expecting a litter at the end of the week. This is a planned breeding- not an accidental litter. The kittens are valuable.

Call your vet, they may have a pill or something you can give her to help start producing more. If not, then it's just nature doing her thing. Sorry. You just may have to end up getting formula from your vet and bottle feeding. Good luck.

If she has not had the kittens yet how do you know she won't produe enough milk? Take her to your vet. to have her checked out and given an injection of oxytocin to help with milk production. You should also be feeding her kitten food so she has enough calcium.

Supply and demand. The more the kittens nurse the more milk that will be produced.

She should produce enough once they are born
