So, my Daphne had four kittens. I'm keeping one kitten here with Daphne & me. The other three will go together to live with my parents. This situation is so completely ideal, because my parents are truly excellent cat owners, and I will be able to visit them as often as weekly if I choose...

You know, I had the worst experience just last weekend, and if nothing else, it made me realize that overprotectiveness is not really a bad thing. I was at a party on a 3rd floor balcony, and a cat jumped out of a tree onto the balcony. No one seemed to mind him being there. He was a big grey...

Toopsy, I'm in Toronto and also Kitchener-Waterloo... I have no idea where in Ontario you are, but if I can help you find a vet in the future, let me know.

Yeah, they're definitely ready for the litter. I had one of the girls squat-and-pee in the middle of the floor, and one of the boys seemed to exhibit some litter behaviours when he peed on his own--in the pants I was about to put on! So far, they're not interested in eating any real food, but...

Hey all-- I have four kittens who are 4.5 weeks old. Today, I put a small litter pan in with them, and started the introduction process. Everything was fine for most of the day, until evening, when two of the kittens started eating the litter. Fortunately, I caught them doing it right away...

In humans, it's called an omphalacele, and is often combined with other birth defects. It's often associated with chromosomal abnormalities (read: it's a genetic problem!), and therefore you can also see other birth defects (maybe like the missing jaw, etc). Chromosomal abnormalities can cause...

Their coat patterns are similar to my four (now almost 2.5 weeks old). I'm glad they're doing well--good luck!

If it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure Daphne had early contractions Thursday night, but her water didn't break until 2:30pm on Friday! And after that it was only four kittens but she wasn't done until 8pm!! She's a very tiny cat though, so I'm thinking four kittens was a lot for her...

I think your biggest worry, as someone said, is probably the kitten eating something it shouldn't and having an intestinal blockage. If you can confine the kitten to a particular area, and ensure someone comes in frequently to play with it, then you can hopefully avoid accident. Remember that...

My Daphne had her kittens last Friday, and I swear I couldn't see anything that looked like contractions--except that her hind leg did kind of twitch like that, and she'd change position immediately after that as if she was uncomfortable. Twelve years ago my Cuddles had a litter, and those...
