The current litter will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I hope she wouldn't actually do them any real harm, she's been such a wonderful mother until now. I don't know what's gotten into her all of a sudden, but she seems very agitated. 2 of the kittens have been eating, drinking on their own more, & more...

Lydia has been acting very differently lately, she keeps to herself, & seems very agitated. she's been absolutely vicious to her kittens. anytime they come withing a couple feet of her she starts growling, then she jumps up & hisses & swats at them. She attacks them, pins them down & bites them...

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that my kittens waited until they were 5wks to go potty (or, Lydia waited until then to quit cleaning it up). After a few days of them using my whole apt. for a litter box, I'm ready for them to be trained. I tried shutting them in the bathroom - where...

My sisters cat is having her first litter of kittens. She's had 4 so far, all 5-30min apart. She hasn't had 1 in about 5 hours now. Lana - the mama cat is still panting hard, very lethargic. My sister says she can still feel another kitten in there. What to do?

[/IMG] http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...3/100_0219.jpg I'm not sure if this worked or not guess we'll see! Kittens are 4 weeks old today I just took the pic of them a couple minutes ago.

Until they are weaned!? They are 4 weeks old today, but won't even try food yet, or even water for that matter. One of the kittens was diagnosed by the vet as a "fading kitten" about a week & a half ago. I was given plenty of kitten formula, & bought even more as a supplement in addition to his...

I'm not sure what mastitis is. When I was nursing my last baby, he got thrush. That was not at all an enjoyable experience! So, I'm not sure if the two are similar. Lydia has 3 kittens, & 2 nipples, that are quite apparently very full of milk. The rest are flat against her chest, & not...

I was just wondering if anyone on here could tell me how to get my pictures of my beautiful mama cat Lydia, & her 3 adorable kittens on here

I've seen lots of cute kitty pics on here, but I can't figure out how to get them on here. I have some adorable pics of Lydia & her kittens in my computer!

Lydia doesn't seem to want to take care of her kittens anymore. They all start crying because they are hungry. She will finally lay down to let them nurse, then she starts crying, & gets right back up. Then they cry, she gives in, & lets them start to nurse again, then she cries again gets up &...

I would give the kittens a little more time to catch on. Nursing may be an instinct they are born with, but mine took a few days to perfect it. The first few days my kittens did the same thing, didn't seem like they could've been getting anything. They will be pros in no time. I worried too that...

Vet will be able to tell if she's pregnant through ultrasound after about 3 weeks. You will have an idea by then, if her heat cycles have stopped. However cats can have false pregnancies. This is what happened the first time Lydia got out. Even the vet speculated she might be pregnant - belly...

Thank you! I will be extra careful

This probably seems like a silly question, but I'm still bottle-feeding Mo - my 3 week old kitten, & I think I may have strep throat, maybe just a cold, & I was wondering if he could get sick. He likes to be right up by my face whenever I'm holding him. Can cats/ kittens catch people sicknesses...

I read somewhere that it's recommended to take mama & kittens in for a checkup within 72 hrs after birth. My personal opinion is that the risk may outweigh the benefit this early, if all is going well, & there are no concerns that can't be solved with a phone call to the vet. Transporting all of...

Thank you so much for your help! I guess he's never gotten milk into his lungs, & I'm glad I know what to do now. I've also increased the frequency of his bottle feedings for now. Since he is getting less, I thought it might help if he got it more often. Lydia seems to be taking care of the...

Thank you, recliner idea helped. He even stayed still, just sat & ate, while crying & looking for mom. She gave me about 1 min. this time before grabbing him by the neck & taking him back to the nest. (She carries kittens w/ their whole neck in her mouth, bottom teeth on throat, top on back of...

I will try recliner @ next feeding. Vet gave me his bottle, w/ x already cut in nipple. It drips slowly w/out squeezing it. Vets assistant said she had been squeezing it during feedings & advised me to do the same. How could I tell if he's already gotten milk in his lungs, & is it hard to keep...

wow, when I first saw your title, I almost thought it was just humor. I think my cat is bipolar, then again, most people I know w/ cats say the same. If it starts again though, I would definitely give the medication a try - I mean you never know until you try right? If she reacts badly, simply...

Well, I just got my scale, & weighed kittens. My little guy is not as bad off as I had thought. He weighs 9.25 oz., his sister is 12 oz., & his brother is 12.5 oz. They will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. The vet says he's 2 weeks behind his littermates though, & only has a 50% chance of survival, now...
