My cat just had kittens, but we had no food at home and barely fed her, so her belly area is now skin and bones. What should I do?
Based on your description, the cat becoming skin-and-bones after giving birth is due to not feeding her promptly and not supplementing with proper nutrition. A postpartum cat loses a great deal of nutrients and energy while nursing, and without good postnatal care she becomes severely malnourished, which in serious cases can cause a range of diseases. When your cat is thin to the point of skin and bones, you need to take steps to help her recover. You can provide nutritionally balanced, high-protein cat food, increase feeding frequency, add chicken breast, feed staple canned food, and give the cat necessary liquid calcium and vitamins; if weight gain is not obvious, the BARF feeding method can help her gain weight and improve her condition. At the same time, remember to take your cat to the vet to ensure she has no other health problems.
