Nursing kitten problem
Hi,
I'm a volunteer with a rescue group. A few days ago we took in a mom kitty who was VERY pregnant. The day after she arrived she delivered 4 darling little kittens. It's probably her first litter so she's new to being a mom. Her foster parent is concerned because mom kitty is allowing the kittens to nurse but isn't cleaning them at all. Has anyone experienced this behavior before? Any suggestions as to how to show her what needs to be done? The foster parent is wiping the kittens so they can eliminate but it would be much easier if mom kitty would take over these duties! Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

Keep on with the manual wiping! The mother may or may not start cleaning her babies.
