Hi. So my 1 year old cat gave birth to a litter of 6 3 days ago! (not easy for her, I know) all the babies are strong, feeding well and have plump bellies.
Mum cat has been great, looking after them sooo well.
However I have let her out and she's usually good and goes out and sniffs about and comes back, she's not too adventurous unless in heat...
So I let her out about 10pm and she just hasn't come back... The babies were fed about 9... They have had a wiggle and little moan but no major squealing yet... Should I be concerned about the babies getting hungry? They are warm enough. I'm just worried mum has either done a runner as she's so overwhelmed and needs a break or she's come back into heat!! There's no explanation for her going for over 2hours... Stressing out for the babies as its midnight and I can't feed them and she may not get in if I fall asleep...
Any advice on how long 3day old kittens can realistically go without mum's milk? They still have full, plump bellies from what I can see but not sure if that makes a difference?
Thank you. J
