Outside kitty brought in with new kittens.

Sarthur2 · May 20, 2016

Yes, you can clean her. You can also trim fur if you need to, though be careful with the scissors, obviously.

Four nipples are fine since she has 3 babies. Do they get latched and nurse well though?

lisastuber · May 20, 2016

Ok good! Yes once they find one they nurse fine.

After searching blindly for a few minutes and fighting over them.

Great! [emoji]128522[/emoji][emoji]128077[/emoji]

Mamanyt1953 · May 20, 2016

Very shortly, each kitten will have "their" nipple, and they will consistently go to that one! Isn't nature fun?

lisastuber · May 20, 2016

Ha,yes it is! Right now they fight over them!

Question: I treated all of our cats and momma kitty with advantage two weeks ago. It seems they are good and flea free. What would I do if the babies somehow get fleas?

Sarthur2 · May 21, 2016

They won't if there are no fleas or flea eggs. By treating mom it should keep any fleas off the babies. If you see any let us know.

lisastuber · May 21, 2016

Will do!

Just wondering,sometimes the advantage doesn't work 100%.

Sarthur2 · May 21, 2016

Sometimes it takes another application a couple of weeks later. You can also buy carpet flea spray to use on floors. It will keep eggs from hatching.

Get a flea comb for the babies if you see fleas on them. They can have a kitten dose of Advantage when they are 2 pounds. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

We've got eyes starting to open already! One week old today. Is it normal for one eye to open first before the other?

talkingpeanut · May 21, 2016

Yes, that's normal!

Does frontline work too? I am pretty broke until I start back to work next month,and frontline is a bit cheaper than the advantage. Thanks again!

Sarthur2 · May 21, 2016

Yes, Frontline works also. Do not use any Hartz or Sergeant's products though.

lisastuber · May 21, 2016

Nope,never! Those will make cat's sick!

lisastuber · May 22, 2016

So,our smallest kitten has one eye open. The other eye seems to have a bit of crust on it. No color to it. It's eating and acting fine...Should I gently wipe it with a warm cloth? Momma cat isn't the best at cleaning them up....

Yes, that's a good idea. If mom need a bit of help cleaning them stepping in is fine.

stewball · May 22, 2016

This is so interesting, will carry on with the updates?
It was very kind of your husband to bring them in. Thumb up!

Mamanyt1953 · May 22, 2016

Use gently warm water on a soft cloth, fairly wet. Hold the cloth against the eye gently, then wipe out and slightly downward. Repeat as necessary.
