cat keeps whining

hi, my cat is 9 months old and gave birth to 4 gorgeous kittens last week, she is nursing them well and really good with them but whenever they are sleeping she walks around like she is lost and keeps whining, she also wont eat her cat biscuits anymore she will only eat meat. Is this normal behaviour?

Answer from Kate
Hi
Well it is not typical behavior but i dont think it is particularly strange. She is a very young cat to be a mother and so the whole experience could be rather confusing for her.

As long as she is eating and drinking etc as normal i don't think you should worry. Give her lots of TLC and attention and help tom reassure her with her kittens, i'm sure that it just requires a little time.

best wishes kate
