They don't care so much to the point where they will get mad. They may start looking for that dead kitten, but it doesn't change their everyday routine. All in all, the mother cat won't really care if one of her kittens are missing. She'll think "Hey, one less kitten to feed"
Yes. Cats have more emotional sense then us.
Cats nurse kittens until the kittens are about four or five weeks old. At this age, kittens begin to wean and are able to eat soft kitten food. The mother cat's teets will dry and retract slightly. The only true way to tell if a cat is still nursing kittens is through observation.
Answer: If the mother cat trusts you, then right away.
You need to take your cat and kittens to the vet immediately. New kittens always need veterinary attention. Also, you will need to get the mother spayed to avoid new litters. There are too many homeless cats being put to death every single day. no this is not normal, when a cat first has kittens they are over protected of their young. if the cat is not next to the kittens then it is more likely that she will not feed them.. the only time that the cat does not feed their young is when she does not recognize their scent. which mean the kitten was tuched by a human or another animal before the mother had a chance to recognize their scent. Hope this helps!
normal is usually 3-4. sometimes they can mature faster and have a faster birth rate causing them to have 4-5-6 kittens during a time span
Leave it alone soon they will get the picture I have had several cats/kittens so I have been through this many times. Sometimes you can bottle cat milk, but most likely the cat will have to put up with it until the kittens are ready.
A mother cat nursing her kittens is often referred to as a "queen."
A mother cat can be called a "Queen"
The mother cat gives birth to the kittens.
The mother cat probably moved her kittens.
yes
why?
Yes, of course! Another nursing cat's milk is no less nutritious to a kitten if it is not the mother. Letting young orphaned kittens suckle from another nursing mother cat increases their chances of survival.
It usually takes about nine weeks for a mother cat to have her kittens.
When a mother cat feeds it's kittens, the process is called, "nursing". A mother will nurse her kittens until they have the proper nourishment and are old enough to feed themselves.
yes
The cat will be very protective of her kittens. She just might not let you near them at first without a few clawings. So back up, let her have some space. Other times, the cat can be nicer, at least not clawing you to death, but she'll keep a close watch on her kids! But all mother Kitties will risk anything to save their kittens. Good luck with you're new kittens! (If you're cat is having kittens)
They are not; fleas cannot survive inside the uterus of a cat. However, because the kittens are so close to the mother cat, actually being physically in contact with her, once the mother cat has dried them off her fleas, if any, will immediately start attacking her kittens.
