Everybody will get their deworming at 6 weeks. Because there has been no progress with Annie vet recommends just the one visit for her followed by release. So I have a kitten that is eating kitty litter. She won't eat the kitten food I keep trying to feed her but she goes at the litter like its...

Updates: Annie has solid movements again. Pumpkin is awesome! Thank you for the info! Kittens are growing quickly, we're on all fours, wobbly, but we're up. So I have the non clumping litter now... How's that work to clean? Can you still scoop it out?

Okay, thanks for the advice! :) On to the next thing I'm not sure about... The kittens are now 2 and 1/2 weeks old and it seems like Annie is never in the nest with them anymore. Every time I go in all 4 kittens are in the box and Annie is in the corner on the other side of the room. Is this...

Okay... Annie has had loose poo for 3 days. Is there some kind of thing that I can give her that's safe for kittens that will stop it? I switched her food about a week ago to the kitten food and don't know if that's why she is now having loose poos, but I put a bowl of the old food out with the...

Thanks Ondine! One other question that I thought of... Since Annie was an outdoor feral, is it probable that they have some sort of parasite? If so when is it safe to take them to the vet for a check up, worming, and vaccinations?

StefanZ, she is tolerating it. She is still skittish in the extreme towards me. I tap on the top of the nest quietly with a finger and she exits, looks at me balefully, hisses, and then hides in the corner while I socialize the kittens, so sadly there has been no improvement in her attitude and...

Haha. Help yourself Ondine. :) hey, should I start leaving a flat plate of kitten gruel earlier so that Annie can teach them to eat? They haven't any teeth yet... When should I expect her to start litter box training them and introducing them to solid food?

I tried something new tonight with the kittens... I have been pulling them out and handling them one at a time, but I've had kind of a rough week and when I got home I wanted to be covered in kitten! So I got all four out at the same time and we sat together on a big fluffy blanket, and guess...

Okay, so eyes are opening now and all four kittens are hissing and meowing a lot every time I pick them up. They usually settle in after a little bit, but is this normal? I'm very gentle in picking them up and I always support their whole body and all feet.

Wijody, I know! It's like I got a free membership in a club I didn't know about... My work colleagues who are "cat people" have adopted me all of a sudden. Although that might have to do with my constant proud momma showing of kitten pictures. ;)

Well after looking closely and checking google I have zero doubt. I have 3 females and one male. Thanks for your willingness! It was really easy to tell once I had something to compare to.

Following advice, I held the kittens for the very first time today. I'm smitten! I'm in love! They're so perfect. Annie got over herself quickly and didn't even swipe at me, she just vacated the nest box while I checked up on the kittens. The kittens nuzzled and cuddled into my warmth and...

So I don't want to be inappropriate, but if I was to post some pictures of the kittens' "business" could any of you help me to gender identify?
