if it looks like a different kitten, then it's possible that she doesn't have enough milk for all five (that's a fair-sized litter), and is simply making a mathematics of biology choice. you may have to help her feed them. is she taking the kitten back into the nest herself, or are you giving it back to her each time she puts a kitten out? try learning how to bottlefeed-plenty of internet sites, including catster, someone in the kitten or health forums would likely know or give you a link-will teach bottlefeeding. then simply bottlefeed a kitten when she removes it then give it back to her, so that each will at least get some mother's milk, and thus benefit from her immunities and all the other benefits of momcat milk. more information would help...perhaps if you posted this question in our forums section, in kittens or health, where you have more room? but i'll send some people your way. best of luck, and congratulations, and bless you for taking in momkitty and her furmily
