Hello guys, My cat Jessie has just recently had kittens, of which we have kept 2 of them. They are about 3 weeks old now and doing great. But unfortunately my oldest cat Crumbly isn't doing so good It seems like he just doesn't want to know anymore He hisses at Jessie and at the kittens and...

Thanks, we're all very happy, only one thing that raises a slight concern is that the kittens have developed a tendancy to suckle from the two front teats (nearest the head) even though the rear ones are bulging. I think it may be causing Jessie some discomfort They are still gaining weight...

The kittens are doing great! They are suckling and gaining weight at a nice healthy level and it looks as if you guys were right, and Jessie is still able to produce milk after her C-Section. I have regrets about letting the vet hand rear the other two now, but I suppose it isn't too bad...

Thanks for that, ever since Jessie has been nursing the kittens we have felt that they were getting everything they needed but we were still giving them the odd hand feed just to be sure. I might go with my instinct and with what you have said and leave them to feed only from Jess without hand...

If I were in your shoes I would: Make sure warmth is the main priority, at that age they can't shiver or control their own body temperature and they can deteriorate very rapidly. If she moves them and you're unsure whether or not they are warm enough, put them back so they can stay warm...

Jessie has taken to the kittens finally, unfortunately one of the little ones slipped away an hour after we got home, it was just very weak and its breathing gave in But the other 4 are doing great and suckling away. We have decided however, to give the 2 Ginger ones (that we were planning to...

Hello all, I was just looking for some advice, my cat Jessie has just had 5 kittens by cesarean, they are doing fine. They couldn't be birthed because of a previous pelvic fracture that Jessie had sustained and had narrowed the pelvis. Jessie has been spayed in the same op and the vet has said...

Yes he has seen a vet, 2 days ago when he got his forst dose of vacines, the vet gave him a clean bill of health, and I can honestly say (without any bias) that the vet is a very good one and well respected in our little town, I rang him and asked him about it and he said that kittens do throw...

These replies have been very educational for me and I thank you all for them, as far as discipline goes, my baby is still so new to me (only had him for 10 days) i dont think I could ever bring myself to discipline him yet, but I am aware that eventually I will have to and I will be studying...

What a beauty! Thanks for the reception guys It really means a lot, as I am 25 years old, and I have never been a "Cat Person" at all, I just suddenly, out of the blue decided to rescue a kitten (crumbly), and ever since I have had him (about 10 days at this post) he has truly enriched my...

Crumbly threw up again tonight, I'm really worried now, funny thing is his behaviour hasnt changed at all! hes still active, and shows no sign of being i'll, still better be safe than sorry. Vet visit first thing I think. Ps. He had his first set of injections 2 days ago, would that make him...

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and see if I can get at least one of them fixed earlier, thanks to everyone else for your replies aswell

And I got a female, Im going to get them both fixed and my vet said that if I do that, it wont matter what sex they are. I just got the new kitten home (literally 30 minutes from me posting this), shes all black and 7 weeks old (1 week younger than Crumbly), I let her have an explore of the...

Hi all, I'm going to get Crumbly a little brother or sister today. Does it matter what sex I get? Does a male and female get along as happily as a Male and a Male? (I will be getting both neutered whichever I decide upon)

Hi all, just a quick question, I have had crumbly for just over a week now, I have been feeding him the same as he has always been fed (Whiskas Junior Pouches and Whiskas Dry Food) and he seems to have a healthy appetite and is eating right, I feed him 3 small meals a day as he is only 8 weeks...
