My cat gave birth a week ago. After giving birth, she became picky on food and thinner than the usual. I usually give her homemade food and dry cat food. She doesn't eat well like she used to, even if I give her fish or the dry food. She just eats she has no other choice. And I tried to squeeze a nipple but no milk came out unlike before. Is it because of her lack of appetite? What should I do?

She may not be feeling well or have an infection. You should take Minggay and her kittens to your veterinarian for an exam. You should also feed her with kitten food now as she will need the extra nutrition. Try some canned kitten food.
