Hey guys, just made my account today. about a week or so ago I caught a 6 week old feral kitten. she has a mother and 3 brothers/sisters. though they have mysteriously disappeared in the last 3 days. The mom still comes by, kinda worried about the other kittens.

anyway, the one I have is a Siamese mix, I've been giving her formula and dry kitten food. She eats well, has warmed up to me quite nicely. Already took her to the vet got her dewormed and her first vaccines

Shes sitting on my knee right now


But I'm wondering how long it will take for her to get used to water and possibly like it? I've read that if you give kitten baths frequently they will eventually love it.

She may never "like" it, and at any rate, once she learns to groom herself, she doesn't need it and it can cause problems for a cat to be bathed excessively.

Thank you for rescuing this baby. We'd like to see photos!

I just ask because I've seen cats who do like it, they play in the water n' such.


But no problem ^^ here's a webcam pic I just took, sorry about the bad quality ( her name is Sage btw)
