I have kittens that are 12 days old and all are doing fine, eyes open moving around, but 1 is much smaller than the others. Is this normal or should I be worried?
Being small isn't a concern in itself...you may want to give him some "extra" by feeding him some KMR (which you can buy at local petstores).Originally Posted by catfish

Lots of times pregnant cats will breed with different males or a different times. The kittens born that were bred at the later side of it will be "younger" The kitten is probley just on the small side from being concieved later then the others. She will probley do fine, most "runts" are fine, but... you should keep an eye on her and weigh her to be sure she is gaining, once the littler ones start to loose weight they tend to get dehydrated and go down hill fast.Originally Posted by catfish
