    new kitten questions

    hi. we had kittens 1 week ago, they seem to be doing ok but i cant be sure, as mom is VERY protective and doesn't let me see them too much. what should the kittens weigh at a week? I realize this is the best indicator of if the kitten is getting enough food from mom, but I'm not sure what the...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    Yes she was a stray. she stumbled apon our backyard and moved right in. She was so skinny we kept feeding her, though we thought she was a boy! When she got the cut on her neck we let her in to try and clean it up, and we wanted to keep it from getting infected so we kept her in, that's when we...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    Thanks! We do have something bigger in the room. It's a small dog carrier. She fits in there with pleanty of room, and it has a towel and what not in there, so if she gets cramped hopefully she'll move in there. The litter box is smaller than the basket so I don't think size is the issue. The...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    Some more updates: So far since about 7 she has kept the kittens in the basket again. The kittens are properly feeding now so I'm not worried about that anymore! Thanks. And I'm not so worried about her smooshing them because it seems when she lays on them they yelp and then she gets up when she...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    Thank you all! some answers: yes she is kept in the room @ all times. We closed her in because we have another curious cat and I don't need any kitty fights right now! The litter box is right next to the basket. so is the water and food bowl. It's only like two feet away from where the basket...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    she was laying in, and had her kittens in a laundry basket with towels. We put a huge cat carrier in the same room incase she wanted more privacy. She hasn't chosen either of them. I do have some of that cat calming spray so maybe I will try that. She might be aggrivated because it looks like...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    ugh. Ok, now mom has moved the kittens to the litter box. I've picked them up to move them back 2 times, and now she's getting kind of nasty with me. She bit my leg, not too bad but still. She gets even angrier if I go anywhere near her food which makes no sense to me. Last night i brought the...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    she appears to nudge the kitten with her nose when the kitten starts crying. I can't say exactly where she is trying to nudge it to but it could be to her belly. She also seems to like to keep the kittens inbetween her front paws when she's laying down. Is this OK (the kittens don't seem to...

    worried about new mom and kittens!

    Hello. I'm worried about my new mom cat and her two kittens. She had them today as seen in my last post. 2 tiny ones, and 2 stillborns. The one tiny one seems to have a problem getting 'connected' to the nipples, so she yells alot. she just keeps yelling. if I hold her head up to a nipple she...

    Hello! I think my cats water broke!

    UPdate! 5:30 We've got another one that made it! Yay! I still don't know if there are anymore, but she seems to be doing OK so no worries. We'll just let her take her time, unless she starts to seem panicked or uncomfortable. She seems quite content though, as do the 2 kittens (though the first...

    Hello! I think my cats water broke!

    Update: 3:50 sunday cow has had 3 kittens. 2 unfortunately didn't make it, infact I'm sure they were gone before they even came out. One is doing very well! I'm not sure if more are on the way or not. The labors go very quickly, Then she rests. She seems very peaceful and not in much pain at...

    Hello! I think my cats water broke!

    no kittens yet. Maybe it was a false alarm? She's just hanging out doing the usual, so I'm not sure what's going on. tricia.

    Hello! I think my cats water broke!

    How long do you think before she will have the kittens? We came home tonight around midnight and the cat came out of her little box we set up for her (which she loves to hang out in thank goodness!), and I noticed she had wet gunk all over her bottom. I'm sure it was her water breaking, but no...

    Please help with pregnant stray

    Unfortunately no updates. I have been trying to contact the clinic this week and she has not gotten back to me. I'm really unsure what to do. I don't know anyone in this town, and I really don't know my way around other than to get to work and back, and just a few other places, so I'm really...

    Please help with pregnant stray

    Thank you! I will post what I have posted here in the petfinder network website you sent. I have not really been able to get a hold of the clinic again other than her email letting me know she could have the cat spayed this week at 10 dollars. I tried to give her a call but haven't been able to...

    Please help with pregnant stray

    Hi everyone, I've been looking over these forums and they seem very helpful, so here is my story. My boyfriend and I live in a small house with one female cat (fixed) that I've had for 8 years. In august we noticed a small cat (possibly a kitten) kept coming around, we'd see her in the yard...
