    Getting kittens to eat wet food

    Just thought I'd let you know how its been going, I bought kitten food the other day and I tried again at feeding them wet food -- this time made for the proper age -- and it has been going great!

    Mother attacking her kittens

    Separating kittens from mother/Finding kittens a new home

    Getting kittens to eat wet food

    Hi,  So my mother cat had 4 kittens about a month ago and I've read that now it the time for them to start eating wet food. I made the mistake of just giving them their mothers food with her, and it didn't go well. They kind of fell asleep and started shaking. I stayed with them and kept them...

    Mother attacking her kittens

    Hi,  So I have a less than a year old cat who had a litter of 4 kittens about a month ago. She has been the ideal mother, nursing when they need, it, cleaning them, playing with them, all that jazz. However, yesterday she started behaving oddly. The kittens would venture outside of their...
