Why do cats kneed before sleeping?
Listen!When kittens feed off their mother, they kneed their mother's stomach to produce more milk.

So, if they do it in your lap, digging their claws into your leg, be happy!oh my kitten does that to my stomach sometimes i think its looking for milk or something now i know thanks!

Why cats don't look after their kittens?
Cat's do look after their kittens. They are very good mothers. If a mother cat is not looking after her kittens, it could be due to her being very sick, or due to a lack of food, to the extent that she does not feel they can survive. If she is not nursing them, there could be something wrong preventing her from producing milk. In a case like this, you must seek help from a vet right away or the kittens might die.
What milk should a kitten drink instead of their mothers?
The best milk for a kitten is their mother's milk. If the mother is absent, the best option is to find another nursing Queen that can take on a few extra kittens until they are weaned. As a last resort, kittens can be given Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) which will need to be fed once an hour or every two hours around the clock. Never give a kitten cow's milk as this can make them seriously ill, and offers no nutrients to the kitten.
