Why does my nursing cat smell?

[37eeyore]

Hi,
My cat had six kittens four weeks ago. She is a very good mum and seems to enjoy feeding them. Recently she seems to be letting herself go a bit. She has a general smell about her and seems to suffer from bad wind. She always has food available but constantly badgers us for food and has taken to scavenging. Is this just something that happens and will it go away when the kittens leave home?

Busy looking after her babies and not herself?

What about the wind problem? Is that a diet problem?

don't know. has she been eating different things?

Not to my knowledge. She does go out but I doubt if she gets food anywhere else. She does pester me for food a lot, even though she always has food available. I wondered if there was something lacking in her diet.

Did you ever figure out what to do? My cat is having the same issue.

Why are you letting her out? Are you planning on her having litter after litter?

The kittens will be 15 years old now 😂

@Vivaveda Maybe post in The Litter Tray (MN cat forum) for more traffic?

Thank you
