This morning started wonderfully with a new single baby chin in the cage My male and female have been together a year, and this is their first baby.
A few hours later the little one was doing well and trying to climb the cage bars. Suddenly my cat ran up and bit off the babies back foot!!! It was horrible. We went to the vet and the rest of the leg was amputated and sutured.
The baby seems to be doing well and is hoping around. I have removed the male, put the cage in a room no kitties can get to, and have removed all the levels from the cage. The problem is that the mom doesn't seem to want to let the little one nurse!!! It has been several hours, and when the baby gets close she just hops away! HELP!!
I dont want to bottle feed if there is hope still for the mom.
