Can feel kittens moving

Let us know how much they weigh as soon as you can.

They should gain 6-10 grams, or a half-ounce, per day. More is always better.

Kitty A is 4 oz and I believe a boy
Kitty B is 3.5 oz and I believe a girl
Kitty C is 4 oz and I believe a boy
Kitten D is 3oz and I believe a girl
Kitten E is 3oz and I believe a boy.
So weights are
A:4oz
B:3.5oz
C:4oz
D:3oz
E:3oz.

Are those good weights. For being 24 hours old?

Yes, those are very good weights! Now you need to weigh them at about the same time every 24 hours so you'll know if one or more is not gaining as they should.

That's the plan and I have it all written down in a notebook so I have it all handy and on the same page.

Is it normal for a cat to not hiss as someone near her kittens or another animal around them my queen is a very attentive momma but she don't seem to be very protective. She let's me and my husband and daughter and son around them as well as our other cat and dog. She watches close but doesn't really react to them being close and sniffing the babies. Or us. Granted when I weight them I make sure she is with me and I only do it infront of her. We're she can see everything going on but I was expecting a reaction from her with the other animals.

Current weights from tonight

A: 5oz
B: 4oz
C: 5oz
D: 4oz
E: 4 oz

If your cat trusts you she will not hiss.

The weights look like good gains so far!

Love those really light grey shades!

OK we are up to
A 8 oz
B 7 oz
C 8 oz
D 7 oz
E 7 oz

D has both eyes open, and e has one eye open is this normal I always thought both eyes open at once. There is no discharge combing from it no liquid at all it looks the same as it always has. The reason I am asking is because she stepped on E head yesterday and we watched her and made sure she was OK. She is still making noise and moving and nursing like normal am just worried she may of hurt that one.

It's normal for one eye to open before the other. The kitten sounds like it's doing fine. The weights are good .

I am getting worried about one of my kittens, he is really small and mommy don't really seems to want to nurse them anymore she is still nursing but not like she was. At what age can I start the mush food for them?the one I am worried about don't really seem to be gaining any weight and he is tiny, one eye also seems to be crusted shut every night I clean it right away and it reopens I recheck it every few hours and it only crust shut at about the same time every night.

They are three weeks today. here is a more updated photos

You can offer mush now, but they may not all go for it yet. Kittens tend to wean better at 4-5 weeks, and as well as to continue to nurse. Since mom is not feeding as much you should definitely try the mush.

How much do the kittens weigh? In particular, what does the runt weigh who you are worried about? I suggest you begin supplementing him with kitten formula immediately. It's not good if he's not growing.

Another thing to try is Gerber turkey baby food. It's very smooth and full of protein and easy for kittens to lap up. It may help all of the kittens, but especially the runt.

I'm wondering if your mom cat is in heat again. It tends to distract moms from their kittens. Also, is mom eating well herself? And staying inside all the time? She really needs to nurse for 2-3 more weeks until the kittens are fully weaned at least.

Post the kittens' weights so we can see how the kittens are doing.

For the runt last night he weights about 10-11 oz, I have a really old postal scale I am using. And Ya I think she is in heat again. I am just worried because he don't seem to be progressing like the others

The runt probably just needs more food. Have you tried supplementing him with kitten formula, or have you tried the mush or Gerber baby food yet with any of them?

He would probably progress faster with more food. At 10 or 11 ounces he's a little behind at 3 weeks old. The target weight is 16 ounces (one pound) at 4 weeks.

No not yet I was gonna get some but momma was doing really good and attentive to them but I am starting to think she isn't making enough milk for 5 babies now that they are getting bigger all of them are weighting around 10-13 oz. So I was gonna go to our local pet store and pick up some kmr I can't afford the goats milk I know it's better but here it's 25 for 6oz. And I think I would go that really fast.

The powdered KMR by PetAg will be fine. You can also use it to mix into wet food to make it mushy. You can see if they will lap it from a dish.

Otherwise you'll need to give it to them with a small syringe. It goes in the side of the mouth a couple of drops at a time. The kittens need to be tummy down head up like they are when nursing so they don't inhale the formula into their lungs. 1-2 mL's apiece several times daily.

OK thank you.

The KMR is good for mom too.  She can have a small dish a day.

I tried the bottle but they won't take it what can I do? To get them to take it

You'll need a needle-less syringe.  Kittens that have been nursing from mom won't take a bottle right away.  You slowly drip it into their cheek until they get the idea.  Feed them like mom would - on their belly with their head up.
