He did it again!! I put a smaller box in place of the second food bowl where he keeps going. Hopefully he'll go in there. I was going to put a few pieces of food into the litter box, but I don't want to confuse the other kittens who already have it down. 

Three of my kittens have taken to the litter box wonderfully, the fourth, not so much. He will not use the litter box, he will pee in the bowl with the dry food and if I put him in the litter box, he just tries to eat the litter; something the other three stopped doing last week. They are five...

Here was the post:  Originally posted by gayef When kittens are in the process of opening their eyes, it is very common and normal to see a little bit of goop or even crust that essentially sticks the eyelid closed. It can happen for many reasons; siblings can inadvertantly scratch a...

This happened to my kittens. The vet said to wipe a few times a day gently with a soft, damp cloth. I did this more than a few times a day. If I got up in the middle of the night, I'd wipe them so they wouldn't get stuck shut. I was told if it got worse to bring them in. It cleared up after...

My cat had discharge and I could see her contracting for two and a half days before she had her kittens. Just keep an eye on her and look for other signs. Has she been nesting? A lot of people say that cats won't want to eat when they're close to giving birth, but my little one ate in between...

Did you have fleas prior to the kittens getting them? I had them about 5 years ago, but haven't had any since, and my cats do not go outdoors, so I'm 99% sure they came in off the little boy and his mom. Even though I haven't seen any, I'm treating the area as if there are fleas. I'll be...

I wouldn't bathe them this young with a flea shampoo, I'd use the dish detergent if I had to. I did check the mom, and she didn't seem to have any, but her colors are darker and I could have missed some. I have not seen anymore on the kittens though. I changed their bedding and even the...

Ok, so my kittens are four and a half weeks old. I have not had fleas in my house for about five years, but the little boy I watch during the day is in a home with fleas. I noticed a couple of fleas today on two of the kittens, one on each, and I did manage to get one of them off. I checked the...

How long are you leaving the cat alone during the day? Maybe he's lonely and acting out? Years ago I had adopted an adult cat, and he would not stop going to the bathroom on my living room carpet when I was gone. I did some research and started leaving on the television or radio when I was gone...

That makes sense about the digging/burying. This little one is feisty and definitely a hunter. She'll leap of furniture to catch a fly, and she's good at it too. So for her to be concerned about predators makes sense. The only other animal in the house aside from a fish is the father cat, and...

My cat had kittens a little over 3 weeks ago and during the past week she has started digging at the fabric in the kitten box and when she uses the litter box in the bathroom, she digs at the rugs in the bathroom and she's ruining them with her claws. I first noticed the digging in the kitten...

My cat had kittens just over 3 weeks ago, all of the kittens have little thumbs, and I'v seen at least 2 of them suckling on their thumbs. It is the most adorable thing ever. 

I didn't have anyone to help last night, so I just used a warm, damp washcloth and rubbed her belly with it for as long as she'd let me, then rubbed it down her back. It got her fur a tiny bit damp which got her to groom herself. She still stinks though. I'm calling the vet back today about a...

My cat had her kittens 3-weeks ago. I spent the entire day wandering around my house trying to find a "smell." It is pretty gross and it was very elusive. I sat on the couch and the smell found me, unfortunately, it's my mamma cat. I'm not sure if it's milk that's gotten into her fur, or her...

My cat gave birth 3 weeks ago, and for the first few days she was panting and breathing heavy. I even thought she was still having contractions. I asked the vet when I took my male to be neutered and she said it was most likely pain causing it and it happened when she was with the kittens...
