Question
My cat gave birth to 3 kittens 3 weeks ago. They are doing well. But one of them is a female and is smaller than the other one. Can I give her some kitten replacement milk (kitten formula) even if she continues to drink her mum's milk?
Edit: She is drinking less than the others it seems.
Answer
Assuming that mum cat is ok with you handling the kittens, I don't see any issues with giving supplemental replacement kitten milk. Be aware that there are special products you should use.
