Question
Do you know what could be the cause? This female cat (with two kittens)is outside and I've noticed her bathing more than normal. Yesterday she had diarhea all over the back of her.
Kelly,
How old are the kittens? Are you sure she had them all? This may be remains of a kitten left inside her. She needs veterinary care. Please take her to a vet. If she is a stray, please call a humane shelter. If she is nursing kittens, she needs all the strength she can get, and if it is diarrhea or whatever else, it is not healthy for a nursing mama cat.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
