Is she rejecting him?

[CatPower]

Hi, I posted a few days ago about my cat giving birth to four beautiful kittens. Things have gone really well since then, she's settled into motherhood beautifully taking good care of the little ones and herself. Tonight things have been a little odd, though. Early evening she had a mad hour, where she was racing around the house like a kitten, ambushing bits of paper on the ground and generally being quite funny. Just now I went through to the kitchen after hearing the kittens squealing - Dora (the mum) had picked up the little ginger kitten and put him on the floor beside their bed. She's behaving a little strangely now too, gathering the kittens underneath her but leaving one (either the ginger one or a tabby one) out.

If she is indeed rejecting one of the kittens, what should I do to prepare?

Probably things have moved on (and hopefully for the better) , but we were told we could get powdered kitten milk and syringes from big pet stores. They need feeding every 1-2 hours, including through the night!!!. And the big challenge is to keep them warm - use a hot water bottle, a heated pad if you have one, a heat-emitting lamp whatever you can do to keep them warm.

Hope this helps, but really hope that it was a blip and all is OK. GOOD LUCK!

It seems to have just been a blip, thank goodness. She was hovering around the bed for a while last night but eventually climbed back in, gathered all of the kittens around her and slept happily. I'll keep an eye on them all over the next few days anyway, but hopefully it was just a moody patch and she's back on track for good.
