My Gracie just had her first litter and her babies used the litter on their own, probably about 3 weeks. They dug around in it for a couple of days, then one by one they started peeing in it, then eventually pooing. I used a 9x12 shallow baking pan. There's also a litter called Dr. Elseys Cat...

I'm very sorry for your loss. I too lost a kitty to FL last year. It hurts and is the most horrific thing to watch. I've since gotten 2 new kitties, both strays, and I refuse to let a cat into my home without being tested for FL first. IMO, it's the biggest thing to worry about with strays. Our...

Thanks for the idea. I doubt it would work though, as the barrier I already had up was just as high and they can literally jump right up and over lol. I went ahead and let them all out and man they are having fun. Their momma, Gracie, sure doesn't like it though, she's a nervous wreck. The boys...

Thank you for your reassurance. The kids and kittens are very close already as we spend most of our time in there cuddling & playing with them. I'm just going to have to sit them down again and go over rules and try to relax a little. I don't know why I'm so neurotic over these kittens, maybe...

Hi everyone! Gracie's kittens are 6 weeks today and all are plump and healthy! I do have another dilemma. They have learned how to jump very well and are escaping the bedroom. I had placed a tall cardboard barrier in the doorway. I had to shut Gracie in with them tonight because they all kept...

They are beautiful! I've never seen hairless kittens, how adorable!

OMG congrats, they are ADORABLE!!!

Thanks everyone for your advice. I'm still gradually introducing the boys to the kittens and they're mostly just afraid of them LOL. Baby keeps his distance and gets brave enough to sniff once in a while, then hisses and runs. Mr. Panther, as I expected, sniffs and sniffs and is obsessed, yet...

Thanks for the responses! Desirai, don't worry too much. What happened to me, isn't super common. I've had a few litters over my lifetime, and this is the first time I've ever even heard of it. Just be prepared for emergencies with a transport carrier, towels, emergency vet # for after hours...

Thank you. Your advice made me feel a bit at ease. I'm still unsure exactly HOW and where to do the introductions though. I'm leaning towards waiting one more week, til they are 3 weeks. I mean, we've waited this long. I don't know.

Oops forgot to post a pic Daddy

Hi everyone! Wow, I love this site, wish I would have found it a few weeks ago! Here's a little background on Gracie... Found her starving, outside the house. Old softy here, took her for a feline leukemia test before bringing her back home with my 2 boys, Baby and Mr. Panther. We lost our...
