I've been living with cats and kittens all my life. I've always been told that 6 weeks is when they are ready to be adopted out. I just adopted two baby kitties, they were 6 weeks old. They have been adjusting well. I have an older female cat also, and she has taken to mothering them. But, I was worried because this week they follow her around and try to suckle on her, and cry to her like they are begging for some milk, and my cat will let them attempt to suckle until it hurts her, then she gently gets up and moves. She super sweet to them.
I got on this forum because I worried that 6 weeks really isn't good for the babies and that I should have waited longer to adopt them.
I see that I've been told the wrong information all along.
It's been a week since their mom has nursed them. I imagine her milk is not as available anymore.
The kitties meow when they go potty, like it hurts them. My girl cat licks their bum and cleans them up, And teaches them how to behave.
Do you think they'll be okay?
I feel bad, I sure wouldn't have adopted them that young if I new it wasn't good for them.
