Answer
Chel,
No this is not normal.  She should have a good appetite since she is feeding her kittens.  You need to take her to the vet as cats will not eat if they are running a temp.  She may possibly have another kitten stuck in the birth canal or some type of infection may have set in.  I don't mean to scare you, but she should be eating good.  Take her to a vet and have her checked out.

God Bless,
Becky
