Kitten birth cats first litter

Hi all im new here signed up after reading up on signs of my cat giving birth.... this is china [IMG(parents where chinese) hence the name. Tonight after returning from the cinema with my wife and kids. I noticed my princess acting all weird wanted alot of attention and belly rubs and wanting me to stand over her while she pouched on some food

Oh, how absolutely beautiful! Mama and babies! She looks so content! Everything sounds lovely. Sometimes the mama can have little after pains, but sounds like she's done. Congratulations to you! Post with any further questions you may have. The kittens look very healthy indeed !

Thanks. She done absolutly fantastic im absolutly shattered my first time having kittens i was a nervous reck when babies came all are beautiful

Be sure to give mom lots of wet food and kitten chow for high protein and nutrition. And a big bowl of water. She needs it all to make milk for her babies for the next couple of months. You can buy a can of KMR by Petag at the pet store. This is kitten milk replacement (formula) and mix it and serve her dishes of it too for an extra supplement. The kittens will drink it when they are weaning as well. Or full fat goat's milk is very healthy for all as well, and highly recommended as a supplement.

MOD NOTE: The following posts have been moved from another thread for consistency.


My cat recently had 4 kittens last night and tonight shes started to attack a kittwn the very last one that was born do i leave it or move kitten or what help

She may sense something wrong with it. Please take the kitten away from her. Do not allow her to attack it! I will write more!

Ohh my god.... the wife has taken the kitten away shes got it on her body and wrapped we dunno what to do

You will need to hand feed the kitten yourself for now. First set it up in a box with a very soft towel or blanket. Put a soft toy next to it to cuddle with. Kittens cannot regulate their body temperature for the first three weeks so it must stay warm. Put a heating pad set on low under the towel. Or a sock filled with rice, microwaved for five minutes, wrapped in a towel, and placed nearby. I will write more about feeding next.

How is the kitten? Is the kitten okay?

I need to know so I can tell you how to feed it.

Also, is she nursing the other kittens well?

Its just attacked another one omg why she doing this. She's being aggressive towards them biting them all over very fast

Take all of them away - now!

Your mama cat may not feel well. Or she may have mastitis, and the kittens nursing is hurting.

Can you check to see if her nipples and mammary glands look unusually swollen and red? Not just full of milk, but all red and puffy around the outside?

If so she needs to see a vet for antibiotics right away. She may need to see a vet anyway.

But sadly, some cats do attack and reject their young.

When you have the kittens settled, let me know.

One of you needs to go right away to a pet store or Walmart and purchase kitten milk replacer (KMR), and pick up a 1or 2 ml syringe from a pharmacy.

You will need to mix this according to instructions, and begin to feed each kitten every 2 hours.

I will explain how to feed them shortly. I need to hear back from you or your wife.

Ive took them away from her
ill check her breasts to see if there sore and red but i need to know what to start feeding them and with what kind of food and stuff and a lot of help asapon feeding warmth when to feed etc etc to keep these babys ok

Read all of my above posts first. They explain about warmth and what to buy to feed them with. I will explain how to feed them shortly.

What does mama kitty's nipple area look like?

Once one of you leaves to buy the KMR I will tell you how to feed.

My wife has went ro the supermarket(asda) i have them all in a box big enoigh for the 4 and my living room has a electric fire kicks out some heat so living room temp will be hot im in the uk btw sunderland

I have checked mothers nipples there a pink colour no sore or redness to worry about But has little redness off suckkling

Okay. I'm in US. Does your supermarket sell KMR? Or full fat goat's milk is very good.

The fire is good, but the sock with rice will stay warm through the night.

Now I am going to write a post about HOW to feed the kittens.

Do you have a syringe?
