Hello! Exactly one week ago I found two kittens. The humane society said they were healthy, and I took them to the vet the next day and they guessed their age to be 3-4 weeks. I am guessing on the older side (I've been doing a lot of research!) they love the bottle, playing together, and sleeping as for my list of questions:
1. They are eating KMR, I have tried blending in kitten food (lotus brand) because they don't show any interest in wet food, (off my finger or mixed with milk). Yesterday was the first day they had it and actually ate it from the bottle. Any suggestion on introducing new food? They are pretty picky, I just want them to eat on their own when I go to work.
2. They still have diarrhea which I attribute to the diet change since before they were living on the streets. How long should I expect them to have diarrhea? I've also noticed a tiny bit of blood in their stools. I called the vet and they didn't think it was an issue since they are eating and playing like usual. Has anyone else noticed this in their cats?
3. When they poop, it gets all over their legs. Any suggestions there? I try to wipe/rinse them, but I can't do this every single time
4. They are litter box trained, but we occasionally get poop on the carpet from their legs. Can anyone recommend a safe carpet cleaner?
5. When should I introduce catnip? It comes with all the scratchers, I just haven't used it because they are so young.
6. When I am around I find that they will eat, nap, play and want to eat again (about 2 hours after eating). I always let them eat but I'm scared of over feeding them. I also don't want to get them used to it because when I work I can't feed them every 2 hours
7. Is it safe to use windex around them?
I know I asked a ton of question! If you could respond to maybe 1 or 2 that would be awesome! I don't expect anyone to answer every question. Thank you all in advance!!
