About Christina A. Rallo, Esq. Expertise I have loved and trained many pet cats over the years and have experience in the care, weaning and training of orphaned foundling kittens. I can answer questions concerning how to properly care for abandoned kittens from birth including proper feeding, litterbox training, general training, grooming, sexing, and finding loving homes for all your babies.
Experience I have years of experience taking in stray and foundling cats and kittens, caring for them and finding homes for those I could not keep myself. I have handraised foundling kittens from just a few hours old. I can offer advice to help those who have never tackled being a surrogate mom or dad to kittens on all aspects of the experience.
Question I have a cat(precious)about 2yrs old it had its first litter but it was only 2. the second one was still born she started taking care of the first,the kitten is about 3wks old and precious does not want to the the kitten nurse and the kitten crys and chases after me, why did precious stop feeding it? i want precious to have another litter should it be ok?
Answer Are you a preofessional breeder of pedigree cats? If not, no its not ok. You are contributing to an already existing overpopulation of domestic cats and it is not appropriate. Also if your cat is not being a good mother, there is no way I can say she would be good with yet another litter. To save the life of the kitten you already have you need to be feeding it by bottle feeding using proper kitten formula - NOT MILK as that will make it sick. You have to buy the kitten formula in a pet store and feed the kitten by bottle at least every three hours until 5 weeks old at least and then, at 5 weeks old, you can give the kitten canned kitten food. You also need to take the kitten to the vet for exam and vaccines and other care. You should be thinking about taking care of this kitten not about another litter for your cat. And if you are not a professional breeder of pedigreed cats, which I assume you are not based on the question, and also based on the story of the first litter, she should not have another one and you shoud have her spayed.
