Semi-wild cat w/kittens
We have a cat that is approx 1 1/2 yrs old. When she came to us, she was wild.
She is still not tame but she does tolerate us petting her when she feels like it and feeding her. She is an outside cat, WILL NOT come into the house no matter what you offer her. She had kittens approx 8-9 wks ago. At first we thought that there were no viable kittens as it did not seem she was nursing and we could not find evidence of any kittens. After about 4 wks, we noticed that one side of her stomach (around her teats) was lumpy and a little swollen. That is still going on and have now noticed hair loss around the teats. She also does not seem to be putting any weight on. We have seen 1 possibly 2 kittens in the last day or so that we think are hers. I don;t know if any of this is normal since we have never had a cat before. I would love to take her to the vet but she only comes around in the late evening or at night and even then you can't set you watch by it. She just kinds shows up when she wants to. If anyone has any info or advice at all, I would really appreciate it. |
