Hello everyone!
A couple of months ago I joined this forum to ask for help with my cat--who had become pregnant. All three kittens are healthy and homed and dad has been fixed--mom's appointment is soon. Now I have a new problem.
When I first got my two cats I lived away from home, and when...
That's cute it took me a minute to realize which "slipper" you were talking about lol.
The little boy is now Sif; so we have Sif, Ciri, and the last little girl still needs a name...
Now, I've been giving them some wet food every day, but yesterday I realized that the two little girls are...
Yep! I'm just having a hard time trying to think of names for them. At first I wanted to keep a similar theme, but Ciri fit the little white kitten so well I decided they should all have unique names. So I am currently open for suggestions if anyone has any :D
The white one is Ciri; the other two still don't have names. The gray and white one is the boy, and the darker tabby is the other girl.
I would like to add that they have already started eating wet food, and will soon be introduced to softened hard foods. They've grown so fast 128553
I just wanted to let everyone know that the kittens' first vet appointment went without a hitch! My sweet babies are all healthy and pudgy as can be (to the point where the vet was worried for a moment that they might have an ulcer ). It was also confirmed that I've got two girls and one...
I'm rather amazed myself. A printer is pretty big, but to stuff it under a scale? I don't understand at all lol.
I'm just relieved that they're doing so well. 14 ounces is great for 3 weeks from what I've read, and they've even started making expeditions out of the bathroom! :D
Hello all,
I would like to start by offering my apologies for the panic I was in yesterday. Today when I was weighing them, I couldn't believe that one of them dropped below 200 grams--there was no way that a kitten that was walking around so strongly could have lost that much weight over...
I'm really at a loss. I could hardly get him to take 3 mL, I don't have any idea how I'm going to manage to feed him 12mL every 3 hours.
On top of that I read back over all of their weights for the past three weeks and they've all started losing weight--it just hasn't been as drastic as the...
I've been weighing them every morning since they were born, and it's happened once or twice before, but he would normally catch up by the end of the day. It wasn't until yesterday that he lost weight, and this morning (as I mentioned) she pushed him away pretty forcefully
I'm using the PetAG powdered KMR.
I plan on weighing him again and starting his feeding schedule when I get home from work at 2. I hope we get results soon, it's making me nervous that he's having a harder time standing and walking than his siblings 128554
I separated him and mom to try to let him nurse extra and she kicked him away 128531 I'll definitely start supplementing KMR. How often do you recommend I feed him?
Hey!
I know it's been a while since I've made a post, but I've run into a problem. I started noticing that one of the kittens wasn't gaining nearly as much weight as his siblings, and this morning while he was trying to nurse Bastet pushed him away. Now, they're 3 weeks old, and since he...
I have been :) my vet recommended that I go ahead and buy two cans, because my girl is young and kind of anxious. She was worried that Bastet would be kind of freaked out by everything and not feed them properly (which obviously isn't the case ). So I'm only just now making a dent in the first...
With that knowledge in mind, I think I'm going to refer it as a he for now, just to be safe!
And they absolutely are. The gray one has gone from 109 to 156, and the darker tabby has come all the way from 97 to 155! They're not gaining quite as quickly at the white one, but they're still making...
You guys.
This little white kit has grown from 116 grams to 176 grams in just 4 days. He(she?) is the biggest 4-day-old kitten I have ever seen.
Which brings me to my next question. I just wanted a rough guess, so I took a peak while I was weighing them to see if I could tell their gender...
Thank-you all! I was pleasantly surprised by the span of color; they're the perfect combination of their parents. The little dark one is going to look just like momma, but a little darker, the gray one is going to be the lighter version of mom, with daddy's white markings, and with any luck the...
