The stray cat gave birth a few days ago and four of the kittens are all 100% black. Being that they're still so young, they all look identical to me and I have no way to tell them apart. I keep noticing that there always seems to be one that acts different than the others and it's a bit worrisome. I can't tell if it's always the same kitten or not.
Is there a way to mark each kitten to help me identify them? I don't think it's a good idea to tie anything around their neck, body, legs or tail. So the only other thing I can think of is to somehow mark their fur, preferably on their tail since the mother doesn't clean/lick it that much, if ever. But since the kittens are black, I don't know what to use to mark their tails. Paint and white out could be toxic if ingested. The only other thing I can think of would be Elmer's glue since it's labelled as non-toxic. Does anyone have any better suggestions?
