    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    Hi again, hoping for a little more advice. the 5 remaining kittens are still going strong. All walking and playing and active, gaining weight well and all in all doing very good. They are all actually more or less around the same size now with none in particular lagging behind. They’ve began...

    Cat suckling behaviour?

    Hi, I have a male cat, he’s Russian blue x Bengal. He will be 1 year in April. He’s amazing and we have a fantastic bond, I have no problems with him, more just a curiosity. I bought him when he was 11 weeks old and since very soon after he came to live with us, he has always kneaded and suckled...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    I’m wondering, when do I need to do flea and worming treatments for the kittens? My vet said to worm at 3 weeks then every 2 weeks thereafter, but some pages I’ve read online say 2 weeks. I’m wondering what you guys say?

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    Oh wow! I didn’t know that! The vet we use now is new to us. We do really like the practice and they all seem to love cats. He came by recommendation from our neighbours who have kept cats their whole lives. Previously we had a dog and tried several vets throughout his life, none of which we...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    Ah Thankyou so much for that! Very reassuring. I’m relieved! She does immediately return to them if they cry too so that’s great! I suppose then she is settling into the swing of it and as you say just enjoying her breaks. Ah what a star! :) very proud of her!! Thankyou again!

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    That was a really tough day. Thankyou guys. My confidence to safely feed the other little guy has been shot but I think we have a problem. Mama has been a little different since he passed away. She knows he passed. Her nest is in the corner of my bedroom in a box I prepared for her. It’s...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    I called the out of hours vet who were happy for me to bring him in immediately, my mother in law was still awake and was on her way over here so I could take him, but he didn’t even make it until she arrived. I’m absolutely heartbroken. He passed around 3 hours ago now and I can’t even bring...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    I made sure to have him in the correct posture as though he were feeding from mum and the syringe is such that I don’t have to push it, he would suckle the formula out by himself with a little faux nipple on the end of it. I didn’t see any signs of coughing, sneezing or anything like that while...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    I fear I may have spoke too soon, after what seemed to be improvement, one of the little guys has stopped eating from the syringe altogether, he initially suckled at it, but now even when I pop a little drop into his mouth he will not swallow it. He’s very slow moving and lethargic. Making...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    Thank you all so much for your helpful advice and resources. It’s been greatly received. I wanted to wait a bit before replying so as I would have a decent idea of what was improving. I’ve been supplementing the 2 smallest as their weight gains have been the smallest too, and alternating 3 on...

    My cat has had kittens….we’re both nervous!

    Hi everyone, New here, looking for some help along the way. I wish I’d found this forum sooner. My young cat regret-ably came to be pregnant. She had her kittens a couple days ago. We are both a bag of nerves. She had me sit with her the whole way through labour and birth. I weighed them all...
