Question
hi,

hope you would help me...my cat gave birth last saturday, May 13, 2006 and she lose her appetite after giving birth is it normal? she does not eat any food though she drinks water. and it is already been 2 days when she starts losing her appetite...please help me...many thanks

Answer
Chel,
No this is not normal.  She should have a good appetite since she is feeding her kittens.  You need to take her to the vet as cats will not eat if they are running a temp.  She may possibly have another kitten stuck in the birth canal or some type of infection may have set in.  I don't mean to scare you, but she should be eating good.  Take her to a vet and have her checked out.

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.
