Hello
As long as the mother cat is ok with you touching her kittens I would take the 3 biggest kittens away from the mother for about 30 minutes so that the smaller ones can feed. I breed cats and that is what I sometimes have to do. If do take 3 out you must put them in a warm, soft and safe place and for no longer than 30 minutes.
Good luck

it really is totally good to %. them up and move them. Get a laundry basket or a superior sized field and line it with towels. you may prefer to leave the sphere the position she has had her kittens and he or she could in all likelihood stay there. it really is optimal suitable to leave them the position the mother has had them it can make her stressful in the adventure that they are moved to a concepts away. My cat had 4 litters of kittens. Oh and ensure you save a watch fixed on her through reality not ordinary artwork can take an prolonged time and there could good be hours in between each and each starting up of a kitten. If she is attending her kittens many times it really is massive, some new moms can get overwelmed easily and abandon their kittens that you do now no longer desire. solid fulfillment!!!

mommy cats do have enough nipples for every kitten, it just needs to find it. If the mommy cat lets you near you could find one for the kitten and place it there and leave it . You don't want to touch the kittens alot, not for a few weeks at least so then mommy can get their scent and get them to gain. If the mommy doesn't let you near, no worries i believe the kitten will get it's turn when one gets tired or full from eating. Good luck!

Just let them be, they should be fine. However if there's just 1 kitten who is not getting any and isn't gaining weight because of it, then you should interfere. But if they're all taking turns at being the one off the nipple they should end up fed and well.

sounds normal survival of the fitist, I would try to monitor them as often as possible and rotate the kittens so all of them get the chance to nurse

don't interfer. The kittens and mama cat will be able to deal with this situation in their own way.

Just leave them alone. If they're hungry enough they'll get in there. It worked for me and my 5 siblings.

Don't worry. When one kit is full, the other will take it's place. Everyone will be fed, it doesn't have to be all at the same time.
