Marble and her pregnancy: Advice is appreciated.

[Sarthur2]

I wondered because the kittens look so healthy!

What are they doing with mama kitty? Taking her to a shelter?

 

[mageris]

They said that they would most likely keep her if she wasn't any of their neighbor's cat. She was definitely very loving and not feral.

 

[mageris]

I trimmed their nails last night, which they hated by the way. But at least now when they play with me, it won't hurt being that I'm anemic so i get cuts and bruises easily.

 

[Sarthur2]

Ah, that's good to hear.

 

[mageris]

Are they old enough for dawn baths for fleas? They had none when we got them but marble has had some and they must've jumped bodies and grew in numbers. It's not bad yet but what would you recommend i use for them. The kittens were on Petcor when i picked them up.

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, they can have Dawn baths. You can put a tube of Advantage on Marble, and a tiny bit on each of their necks if you squeeze a tube into a cup and use an ear swab on them after their baths.

 

[mageris]

Okay good. I'll do that tonight after we go to the store.

 

[Sarthur2]

Great! And change out any bedding and wash it. The room spray is good on the carpets and furniture too if you feel it's warranted. Just to kill eggs and larva.

Btw i had to share this with one of the girls asleep in my lap on her back.it was too cute :-)

So precious! Aren't you just in love? [emoji]128149[/emoji]

Is Marble nursing and licking the kittens?

Take lots of pictures!

Such a sweet kitten.

Happy sweet baby

 

[mageris]

She nurses them off and on but i imagine she'll wean them off after another week or two. Her milk is disappearing slowly anyways since they don't just nurse.

And yes, yes i am

 

[hteft]

They are precious! I am so happy Marble has a few babies to "mother".

 

[mageris]

i have decided to name them Luna and Soleil. I think the names suit them nicely.

 

[Sarthur2]

What pretty names - moon and sun .

 

[mageris]

Thank you. I knew they would come to me eventually, i just had to be patient. They're getting dawn baths today soon. That's gonna be REAL fun for them lol. Right now I'm having to help my bf since he's gonna be getting his wisdom teeth extracted
What a busy week coming.

 

[Sarthur2]

Just don't wet above the necks.

Good luck to your boyfriend with his surgery!

 

[mageris]

Thank you I'm sure he'll be fine. He's strong as an ox.
I'll try getting some video up today to show how the kittens And marble are doing.

Still on all 3 feeding regimens of wet food, kmr, and kitten chow. Marble is still small though But then again, she always has been.
Nothing to worry about as they're all acting fine. Just wish her and Luna would eat more.
Soleil is a little piggy nonetheless.
