    I not sure what to do about the nipples... I will see if I can find out some info and post it. Maybe someone will come along with good advice. You can start feeding the kittens some kitten food, if you use the dry type just moisten it with water and get it soft. If your using a milk replacement you could wet it with some of that.

    I'd be concerned that the mother cat has an infection of the milk glands going on. Seems like a vet visit is in order here.

I have a stray mother cat that I brought in with her 6 kittens. The kittens now 8 weeks old have been placed in a rescue for adoption and I had the mother spayed last week. Now her teats are swollen as if she needs to keep nursing. Each one is about the size of an egg. Does anyone know anything...
