Cat concern

My cat just gave birth yesterday and she has had some food today but not much water. Is that normal?

Answer by Kate

HI
I wouldn't worry at this stage. Is is probably still feeling a little sore and perhaps a little confused from the birth.

Give her some space and make sure she has access to fresh food and just keep an eye on her (make sure she is drinking though ans dehydration can happen quickly). If she is still not right after another day, then take her to the vets to have her checked out.

Hopefully she will be just fine tomorrow.

best wishes Kate
