Hello,
I got my first litter of four four-week old foster kittens three days ago. They are wonderful but they stink with a capital S. My housemates are concerned about that smell getting into the surfaces of the house so I need to find a solution to it. They are not loose and have been so smart about using their litter box, but between their loose bowels (they are eating wet cat food "gruel"), the ultra-stinky food they are eating (I was told to get the stinkiest food so it would stimulate them to eat) and the fact that they roll around in...well everything combined, wow. It smells like a 20-cage kennel in here.
I clean them morning and night, but am reluctant to bathe them as I tried to just bathe their feet and they were so afraid. I don't want to traumatize them like that. Should/can I bathe them anyway and how should that be done?
Can I use those Whisker City grooming wipes? I was uncertain about their scent or anything else being not good for the babies.
Thanks!
