KMR - 12.5 oz Liquid

Excellent support for lactating momcat:
GREAT PRODUCT <<-- THE CANNED LIQUID. THE POWDER "EQUIVALENT" IS LESS EXPENSIVE AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, ALL BUT COMPLETELY SPURNED BY MOTHER OR KITTENS. I taste-tested it myself and it tastes completely different. Long testimonial: The two vets who said, "If your stray female cat is THIS old and hasn't been pregnant yet, she's obviously spayed but I just can't find the scar" and who said, "The internet says some females don't mature until 24 months? HAW HAW HAW!!!" were... ahem... wrong. So when two local toms knocked up 2-year-old Girlie Cat, she had to tolerate an owner of only neutered cats who has never even SEEN kittens younger than 8 weeks old. I had no clue how much nutritional support a lactating momcat needs. Four weeks postpartum, she was a 9-lb mom feeding 4.5 lbs of kittens. Despite eating HEAVILY and sucking down all the Half-and-half my housemate could pour for her, she began losing conditioning and her kittens began experimenting with crunchies from the Adult Bowls. I didn't know precisely what this meant, and the internet was no big help. I thought maybe some cats just wean early. So I replaced the adult crunchies with kitten chow softened with some KMR. As soon as I opened the KMR, Girlie Cat began sucking it down desperately. I immediately opened the tap for her. 36 ounces (3 big cans) and 1.5 days later, she had regained significant weight and returned to contentedly breastfeeding her contented kittens, who did not touch crunchies again until about the 6th week. They all still love KMR liquid, and I'm still giving the straight stuff to momcat, but I'm transitioning the babies to a mix of KMR liquid + KMR 2nd step powder mixed with kitten chow now that they're in their 7th week.
