They are. It's a fairly harmless version of antibiotics though, and before she got them (when the kittens were two days) they weren't growing at all. Sigh. I'm thinking about trying a homeopathic relieve - a lot of breeders swear by it. I'm a bit sceptical, but.. well, can't hurt. (Or so I...

I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for Kiwi! Hope she feels better soon! Best of luck with the babies, too. Hand-rearing is hard work, but it *does* work.

We're having some problems. My darling British Longhair, Kelly, gave birth for the first time six days ago. She got three kittens, and everything seemed to go well. She took care of them just fine, and they had normal weights. However. They didn't gain any weight. After two days, they had even...

British Shorthairs for me.

Awww. Well, I'm glad to hear she's ok, but sorry that you won't get to experience kittens from her. To answer the question in the other thread, three years old is not too old to have babies (definitely not!) but it's a little old to have the FIRST litter. Ideally, a queen should have her first...

The last week, you should definitely be able to feel and see the kittens move. Can you do that? It can be very decieving some times - cats can get "falsely pregnant" (don't know the English term, sorry!) and show all the normal signs of pregnancy (pink nipples, weightgain, more sleep, more...

Well, we have always let our daddy-cat - Hamlet - meet and spend time with his kittens straight away. He's pretty much walked up to their box, sniffed, hissed and walked away. He's not very interested until they're a bit older. And even then, he feels that his main role is to make sure they...

Hi! Just found this site, and am pleased to be here! I live in Sweden, and am a hobby breeder of British Shorthairs and longhairs. I am 28, and live in Stockholm, which is the Swedish capital. Me and my fiance have four cats at the moment, and are slowly looking for a fifth - but it will take...
