Couldnt find a pet section so thought i would post here
basically my cat had 6 kittens
it was her first litter
anyways since she has had them she has lost weight rapidly
Now when the kittens try and feed she growls at them and cries in pain
im really concerned about her weight loss
i want to take her to the vet but.i knoe.i.cant.afford it
Is she just thin cause of thw pregnancy and her breast feeding
or will she fill out once i spay her
Btw thw kittens ar 3 weeks old

Sorry about spelling mistakes really tird
thanks to anyone who can help

Well, she may be malnourished. How old is she? Maybe she just couldn't handle being pregnant. If she stops moving, speaking and has her hair fall out, it could be serious. I don't think it is what I'm thinking of. I don't want to scare you, though. But I'm no doctor. Perhaps if you just google it or ask a vetrinarian.

Shes still eating and drinking
We got her when she was 4 weeks old
She is 8 months now
she got pregnant at 6 months
So im not too sure whats going on
She still has energy and what not. Just shes skinny

She might be loosing her prego weight, like we do. It depends on her size, but her healthy weight should be 7-8 for a small frame cat, to 11-13 for a large frame cat.

Ideal Weights of Cat Types
Domestic Cat 8-10 lbs.
Persian 7-12 lbs.
Siamese 5-10 lbs.
Maine Coon 10-25 lbs.

How skinny is skinny?

And is she completely rejecting her offspring now?
