Suddenly she's been acting like she's in heat. She sticks her butt in the air and crawls around meowing. Do pregnant cats do that? If she is just in heat I'll be glad and getting get spayed as soon as I can.
What is that? Can you name some symptoms so I can see if she has them? Or is the discharge the only thing? If so I'll try to get off work to take her now
but sadly kittens have not gone out of my life because just yesterday I found 6 stray kittens in my backyard that my dogs were trying to play with a little too roughly. I've gathered them up and can't find a mother cat anywhere. I keep looking out for her but I'm extremely worried my dogs might have ran her off and she got hurt by another animal or she was gone in the first place or she's just too scared to come back. The kittens look to be about 5-6 weeks old. I found a home for one already with my dad, and the others are being taken to the vet soon.
I did not have any wet food, the only kitten type things I have is milk from forever ago when I used to bottlefeed kittens, so for the night I just gave them Momo's hard food. They've used the litter box and I laid down peeing pads in case they didn't really know how to use the litter box and they used that as well. I wanted to keep the one my dad took but my step mother and siblings were all a little forceful and just came over and took one :/ which really upset me because I tried to explain that kittens really need to stay with their litter mates to learn important lessons to help with hunting (since they wanted her anyways to catch mice at their house) but they seemed to think I was just making up excuses to keep her. I also have noticed they are all very bloated, I've given them baths with dawn soap because they were infested with fleas and I think it helped a little, but I'm too worried they're too young to give a bath with cat flea shampoo. Do you know how old a kitten has to be to be vaccinated and wormed? I'm going to try and take them to the vet this week, but I know it will cost a lot with them all D: I would not be surprised if they were dumped! The only reason I have my three big dogs is because someone threw them out of the car here. Two when they were tiny pups not even old enough to eat food. And the weird thing about it is they are all black except for the one longhaired gray one!
Okay I will still take them to the vet for checkups though! No I know that they are very picky about animals and they have to be flea free, worm free, spayed/neutered and very healthy. I'm going to put away a little money for them to get them all fixed, yes
. I want her back so she can be with her siblings for a little while longer, but I do think he'd take care of her very well he just doesn't understand that kittens don't just learn things on their own and really need sibling time and even mom time. Luckily Momo has somewhat adjusted to them a lot faster than she did the dogs and can teach them a few things, but I do worry his kitten might not develop like these will.
I believe they would be, but if they don't I'd tell them I could take her back, or at least find a home for her that would be patient.
I know
I got wet food for them and hard kitten food for when they're older. It's very old formula mix type stuff. It's powdery so I never put it anywhere but the cabinet. Never been opened. I think my vet might do puppies and kittens as one charge but I'm not sure, I will ask when I take them this week. I do know where a low cost spay and neuter clinic is, I have taken all my dogs there before, thank you though
I feel like they were probably dumped too, but I'll keep a look out for a momma cat just in case shes around because I have seen a couple of stray cats out here before but it's very rare.
