But one last question, is it normal for her to be so vocal, i cant move without her meowing

Sarthur2 · Mar 15, 2016

It's fine. She sounds like she needs reassurance. She should settle down soon. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Thanks all for the advice i shall keep you posted if anything new happens

Is mom lying completely on top of the kitten? You should move the kitten out from under her if so.

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

Oh no hes not lol he was under her arm a little thats usually how they lay together, i only interfere when they sleep together if the kitten is crying

Sarthur2 · Mar 16, 2016

It sounds like they are doing well! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

What can i put on her nipples/teets, whatever u wanna call them, they are started to get chappy and raw

handsome kitty · Mar 16, 2016

You can rub some olive or veggie oil on them. they also sell Udder cream and that would be safe to use as well.

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

Thank you, i have plenty of vegetable oil

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

Now, when the kitten is feeding, he seems to move his front paws a lot, like he cant reach or something, anyone know what his problem is?

handsome kitty · Mar 16, 2016

Is he kneading? Kittens do this to help stimulate milk production.

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

Yeah but when he does it hes scratching other nipples, and that can lead to infection if im wrong correct me

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

Her bottom two nipples are turning a whiteish tint, they have a cut in between them, should i be worried

talkingpeanut · Mar 16, 2016

This is normal. I don't think tiny kitten scratches should bother mom too much, though you would obviously want to watch for signs of infection. Signs would be extreme redness or pus. You can post a photo if you'd like an opinion.

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

Okay i will, right now she just left to use the litter box, she filled the disposable with pee lol

Idk if its good enough quality but there you go

Sarthur2 · Mar 16, 2016

That is from kitten claws. You'll want to put some veggie oil on it and the nipples, but it should heal. Next, very carefully trim the kittens nails. Kittens can be born with some long claws already, and these are too long!

thomase · Mar 16, 2016

What would i use and how far should i clip them down

Sarthur2 · Mar 16, 2016

Just clip the very tips off - no further. You can probably get by with human nail clippers at the moment, and pick up cat clippers at Walmart or a pet store later for when the claws get harder and bigger. Should be easy to clip the front paws right now though. Clip them whenever they seem long and sharp.

talkingpeanut · Mar 16, 2016

Be very careful not to cut the pink part inside. Thats the quick and will cause the kitten to bleed. You want to cut only the very, very tip.
