They're all gorgeous - mind you with a mum that pretty the odds of being really cute were pretty high! Is mum up for rehoming too?(After nursing etc. obviously!)

ooooooooooo kittens they're so cute!

 :Luv2:

How are they doing?
Title: Re: Well my foster pregnant mum had 4 kitties... photos...
Post by: deniseb90 on February 08, 2008, 11:01:35 AM
They're all doing really well.  Mum (Ruby) is very small herself - probably not much older than 1 (she had a previous litter also according to her previous owner).  The kittens are getting right fatties - poor Ruby has a bit of a runny tummy so I'll keep my eye on that - she seems ok in herself though.

Will take more piccies over the weekend and pop them on...

Although the kittens are quite obviously adorable, I like Ruby!

Ruby is lovely - she's so friendly and gorgeous - she will be up for rehoming after being neutered, etc.  Watch this space!!!

Well done Ruby and hope her tummy gets better quick  ;D

Would you recommend some plain white fish and a bit of rice for her?  Think the kitten food may be proving a bit rich for her???  Any advice greatly received!

I am sorry I am not knowledgeable on mothers and kittens and had it been just a female cat , would have said yes. I would agree that the kitten food maybe too rich and her normal food may be a better option once her tummy has settled.

I am sure someone with real knowledge will advise but if not give the vet a ring.

Hi Denise,

Yes, the kitten food could be upsetting her tummy.  Try switching her back to her regular food and supplement with proteins like chicken, fish and also carbs in the form of rice which all help energy stores and build bulk.
