I bottle fed them, but one of them is too weak. It hardly licks the milk. As for the mama, I found that she takes care of them when she feels they're threated, like I'd make scary noises next to the kits, and she finally walks to them and starts nursing them. It's good progress, but how do I get...
It seems like Duchess rarely spends time with them. I haven't seen her nurse. The babies look like they're not gaining weight. Any ideas??
Also, she keeps separating one of her newborns from the rest. I put it back with the others, but then she grabbed another and separated him/her from the others.
Congrats on the babies!! They look beautiful and HEALTHY!
And thanks for providing pix when she was in labor!! It helps me out with mine, as I'm waiting for Duchess to go on labor as well. I know the anxious feeling!!
So I'm fostering a stray mama (Duchess) and her kittens (Batman, Prada, and Pepsi). Batman and Prada are socially well developed. They even let us pet their little bellies. I'm just worried about Pepsi. He's the only one that's scared of humans. He flinches when we try to pet him. When he walks...
I bought this nail trimmers for cats/kittens, but I'm always sooo scared that I might cut their quick. I just trim the tips also, but it still hurts. Luckily, their vaccines are due, and I'm gonna try and have the vet teach me how to do it. I have scratch marks on my arm and ankles now.
My three 7 week old ones seem to be playing rough. Their claws are always out when they play with us. When they play with each other, I sometimes hear the girl (Prada) yelp. Is this normal?
I'm sooo heartbroken. I can't stop crying... My dad won't let me keep my stray and her kittens in the house. I can't be selfish and keep them and have them be outdoor cats. I'm faced with the decision of giving them away once they're old enough (12 weeks minimum). I'm just soo unbelievably...
I'm having the same problem with Pepsi. Batman and Prada are eating, but Pepsi has no interest. His weight seems to be okay though. Any suggestions, anyone?
Mine are 3 to 4 weeks old. I just bought clumping litter yesterday, not realizing that they need non-clumping. I bought the non-clumping ones today and took my time setting it up. I showed Batman (my brother named him btw ) his new litter, and of course, he walked over to the clumping litter and...
When are you suppose to transition from milk to food?
And when they do start eating food, should it be the canned wet food or the dry food (the ones that come in those bags)? Or both?
And what would be a good brand? I've heard of Royal Canine, Science Diet, and Purina. Could someone try and...
Hi guys. I just want to let you know that, unfortunately, Tubby has passed away. According to the vet, Tubby had fck I want to thank everyone for their support and advices. It has been very difficult since I have really grown attached. I will surely be back for more advice on the other three...
So I am happy to say that the kitties fell out of their "home." We've been taking care of them. They are soo beyond cute that I just want to keep all of them!! I've never had cats/kittens before, so I don't know how to feed them. It turns out that there are four instead of five. The three...
Hi guys,
I've been taking care of a litter. The three seem to be developing fine, but one isn't. Here's some pix to compare. What do I feed the poor little kitty??
