Can a cat birth a underdeveloped kitten and still carry the rest to full term?

It's possible that the cat can miscarry one kitten and still carry the rest full term. If your cat has miscarried one kitten, I advise you to take her to the vet because if a kitten died in her it could make her very ill, or even die, and it can also harm the other kittens.

∙ 12y agoYes. Underdeveloped kittens are called 'RUNTS'. It is harder for the 'runts' to live, but by some miracle they survive. I had a recent litter where one of the kittens was injured. It had a hard time trying to walk, because the umbilical cord cut into the kittens rear leg causing the leg to swell. I administered antibiotics and the mother cat cared for the kitten. It survived and is doing great. Even walks.

Your kitten is sucking on your tom cat?
That's a funny question. I'm not sure because I don't know your kitten or cat but my best guess is that the kitten is still not fully weaned yet and still wants to suck his/her mother's milk. The kitten must've mistaken it.

Yes it should be perfectly fine. Just be gentle and let your kitten nap because they are probably still a little drugged the day of.
Can a 12 week old kitten have a litter?
A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to have kittens of its own. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child. Female kittens usually reach sexual maturity around five to seven months old, although they should still never be bred at this age as they are still young and should, ideally, be spayed.

My cat had a kitten last night at half 11 and then one at half 1 to me it feels like there's still one there. could she still have one in her?
Not sure what time you posted this at, but........ It is possible for cats to go up to a few hours in between giving birth to their kittens, although if it has been over four hours, I would recommend you take her to see a vet. If a kitten spends too long in the birth canal, it can drown. There is also a possibility that what you felt was not another kitten, but perhaps the birth sacs of the two kittens already born. I hope your cat and her babies are doing well!

How do you help a kitten with a neck injury?
You need to get your kitten to a veterinarian immediately. To transport, gently slide the kitten onto a towel - having two people for this will help greatly. Your goal is to keep the head, neck and shoulders steady without moving them. Once the kitten is on the towel, slide your hands underneath it and place the kitten/towel onto two to four bath towels nestled in a laundry basket. Now the kitten can be carried in the laundry basket and taken to the veterinarian. If the kitten is still walking or holding its head up, you can skip the towel under kitten transfer, but still drive with the kitten nestled in a laundry basket. If the kitten is still nursing, bring the mother and the rest of the kittens along for the ride in a second basket or box.
