    My Kitten Is Losing Weight

    My cat had 3 kittens 27 days ago. They've all gained weight well. Then today, one of them lost 5 grams. It's the first time one of them lost weight. I weighed her again a few hours laster and she'd lost another 5. I've seen her feeding lots of times and she's still active and playing like...

    Kitten's Eyes Keep Sticking Shut

    He is a pretty long haired kitten. The other 2 in the litter and much shorter haired and maybe that's why their eyes opened a lot easier. The one with the problems, he shows no signs of infection or illness. When his eyes are open they look big, bright, and clear. He just struggles to open them...

    Kitten's Eyes Keep Sticking Shut

    My cat had 3 kittens 17 days ago. One of them has a problem with his eyes. They stick shut when he sleeps. If I wash them with damp cotton wool they open up right away and he looks fine. There's no pus or anything else coming from the eye. Sometimes there's a tiny bit of crust near the eye...

    Newborn kittens...how long until you are able to touch them?

    My cat had kittens one week ago. For the first 2 or 3 days I only touched them to weigh them and to gently touch them while they were with their mum. Since then I've been increasing the time I touch and hold them. Now I can hold them for several minutes, even letting them sleep on my hand for a...

    Fluffers Had Her Kittens!!

    What was amazing was that I wasn't sure when she mated, but I estimated that she'd have them on April 1st and she did! They've been a little slow to gain weight. Not sure if it's a problem yet. The 1st kitten gained nothing on day 1 but gained 14 grams on day 2. The 2nd kitten out gained 4...
