My cat's meow changed after kittens. Is she protective or nervous?

Hello, and thanks for your question about Mino. Cats can meow for lots of reasons, and some are naturally more vocal than others. This can change over. It’s definitely possible that she’s simply looking for social interaction from you - but she also could be asking for more food. Nursing is an enormous energy demand, and so nursing females do need to eat a bit more. So, she may be hungrier than usual! Keep an eye on her weight, and feel free to give her a bit extra food if you notice she’s slimming down at all. Otherwise, just give her a little extra love. :-) Hope this helps!

Hello, sorry to hear about Buttercup. She may be experiencing some post partum pain. This should improve in several days. Ensure Buttercup is getting adequate amount of food and water. You can offer her kitten food as well while she is nursing. She can eat as ofter as every 6 hours. If her meowing does not improve, if she does not want to eat or drink, she has tremors, or is weak and lethargic, haver her evaluated by your veterinarian immediately. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello, yes kittens can have nursing behaviors that include seeking more attention from you and nursing her kitten. However, keep a close eye on her and make sure she is not continuing to have more contractions without being able to produce another kitten. Most frequently, cats will have multiple kittens at birth, not a single one. If you suspect she is not able to deliver the rest of her kittens, then you should consider having her evaluated by her primary care veterinarian for a possible dystocia. Hope this helps and best of luck.

It could be that Precious has gone into heat again! Cats can go back into heat relatively quickly after having kittens. That would cause her to be more vocal than usual. She could also be more vocal because she's communicating with her kittens. They are born with their eyes shut and their ear canals closed, and they stay that way their first few weeks of life. As their ear canals open, the cat uses her voice to communicate with them. If you don't want Precious to have any more kittens, I would make an appointment with the vet to have her spayed after her kittens are weaned. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

She is likely to become more protective when the new born kittens arrive and it is unlikely she will become more accepting of the older kittens at this stage. Ensure she has a quiet area to have the new kittens undisturbed y other cats (including her previous offspring)

Sometimes the time of a cat's meow will change based on their mood or emotion. As long as all else Is normal with him ( he's eating, drinking and normally active) I wouldn't worry. Could just be behavioral.

I don't think the sound you are describing is abnormal. As long as she is eating, drinking, peeing and nursing the kittens I would not worry. I have never known a cat to kill their kittens if they "don't feel safe". I have had them kill them if there is something medically wrong with them though. Just keep her in a calm, quiet area and do not disturb her too much. Just check on her a couple times a day to make sure she is eating/peeing and nursing the kittens. I have been to Bahrain (I am in Afgahnistan now) and I know there are vets there that will examine her if need be. I would not jump to that right now unless she is sick as that will stress her out more. Best wishes.
