So guise, a pregnant stray cat thats been hanging around my place had her kittens recently, but it seems all but one died for some reason. I assume they died a while back. Anyways, the remaining kitten is about 4 weeks old now and the mother seems to be drying up, milkwise. Is this because of fact that theres only 1 kitten left? Am I just being paranoid? Should I be concerned about this at all? Pic related, I took it about a week or two ago.

if your paranoid or unsure...take a safety measure and purchase kitten milk formula and a kitten bottle. you can get them at almost any pet shop. make sure you keep tabs on how much the mother is trying to feed the kitten. the mother might have lost interest.

She still stays with the kitten and lets him nurse. It just feels like there not much of anything in there when she lets me feel her belly. She lost interest in the kitten once before, which is how we found him. He was just laying in the cold grass at night screaming his lungs out, and she didnt seem to care. It was pretty chilly that night and the kitten's eyes were hardly even open yet, so I dont think he would have lasted much longer out there alone. So we took him in and tried to get him to nurse off a small animal bottle thing, which he didnt want to do. The next day the mother took interest in the kitten again and has been taking care of it since. No problems up to now.

Just keep an eye on it. If the kitten looks like it needs to be fed more it might be better to bring him inside, as a weak kitten can freeze to death pretty quickly.

I'd just hand feed him if I were you. One of my cats abandoned her kittens after she had them in the woods and all but one died from the elements. I had to bottle feed him until he could start eating solids.

Well, I just went and checked on him this morning, and he seems to have a very full belly and his skin seems nice and supple, so Im pretty sure he isnt dehydrated. I guess Im just being paranoid.

if mom cat is a young stray this is most likely her first litter, and it sounds like she dosnt really know what shes doing still just continue keeping an eye on him, and if you REALLY want to be a good person you can take them in to get fixed and to find a home! that way mom dosnt have have to have anymore litters becouse she seems sounds like she dosnt want to be a mom. i know most shelters will spay strays for free...

Take him in. He looks like a nice kitty.

Weve already applied to a pet shelter thing to get the mother spayed, but havent heard back from them yet. She is a pretty small cat and looks very young, so I imagine its her first litter. Heres an updated pic, I just snapped this a few moments ago.

The mom usually starts rying up when it's time for the kittens to ween. If it's not time but she still goes dry, then her clock is wrong.

Moar pics!

most places if u tell them you're bringing in a ferrel will spay her for almost nothing. I dunno if u have HOPE where u live, but i'd try that. if she starts to lose interest again, the kitten may be old enough to eat wet food. some kittens show interest in "big kitty food" around 4 weeks. call around and ask some vets on what you should do. i bet the lil guy is so glad to have you around!

not always, i've had kittens still nursing at 10 wks. if there's something around to suck the milk out, she'll still produce. mom just usually gets tired of the little leechs around 6-8 weeks
pic related, my cat w/ her litter at 10wks

The kitty looks like it has an eyepatch. I suggest you name him something that has to do with eyepatches.

I concur with some sort of pirate name.

You are such a lucky anon, OP. The pictures of this kitten gave me more pleasure than a pink puckered asshole. One of my cats who was sitting on my lap got jealous/disgusted and left a couple of minutes ago.

He has the wierdest looking tail... Its all black at the base, but its got a mix of black and white on the rest of it. The shitty webcam I have probably doesnt show it very well.

Oh, god, he's at the age of maximum tail cuteness... just young enough for it to move around a bit, but still stubby and inflexible... always stickin' up...
