Momma Cat Has 9 Babies

[Sharon Phil]

The little ones are enjoying their pup tent. Took the idea from another thread where there were 9 babies. Their weights are good. They are teething so they love chewing on the nipple. Walking around and playing with each other. Love just sitting and watching them, better than TV.

When should I start introducing food to them? They will be 4 weeks Thursday.

Anytime after 4 weeks, but bear in mind that some of them may not be ready until 5 or even 6 weeks.

They look great! Love the tent!

What an adorable healthy looking bunch of kittens! You will be so relieved when they start eating on their own! I know I was when I was supplementing and rotating my litter of 8! What a good momma to be nursing so many!

They are 5 weeks now. I only have one eating from a bowl. The others seem to prefer the bottle but they act like they are still hungry. Are they just not ready? I have tried plain KMR, the milk plus baby food chicken and also a gruel with kitten food and KMR. The one eating likes it all(so does momma). Any suggestions or just keep offering. They are so playful and sweet.

I had them out of their tent to clean a few days ago. Now they just run around the back porch.

Beautiful kittens! They look very sweet.

Continue offering. They will all be eating soon - most by 6 weeks. Then you will not believe how much and how often they will eat!

So much sweetness and goodness in their tiny faces.
