Cats and Kittens

Kris asked:


Help please! I have never taken care of cats before. I rescued two kittens from the rubbish bin that were approx 4 days old. I feed them kitten formula in small amounts every three hours or so. Amazingly they are still alive and growing fast. The vet says they are healthy but very small. Any suggestions on how and when I should switch to babycat nibbles? Someone recommended Royal Canin?? Do I mix them with the milk, or go straight to water? If you can, please tell me how to make this change. Thanks - Trying to be a good mother cat!

My two cats give birth to kittens once a year without fail and I sell the kittens but I dont know how long to hold on to sell the kittens, I’m just worried If I’m seperating the kittens from their mother being too young, this make me feel extremly guilty with tears in my eyes because the mother is roaming around the house looking for her kittens when they are gone, did I sell them being too young… are there any signs of the mother can show when she wants to be left alone away from her kittens.

Ever since bringing home my kitten, zac, from the local shelter he was ill and ended up getting my 2 other cats, mark and sis, sick. After running out of money, taking them to the first vet with 20 bottles of antibiotics and 5 months of it not helping I took the cats, all 3, to someone else who came highly recommended. I was supposed to be $38 per cat just for the visit. It ended up costing me $235! And this vet stunk too not only did she not even ASK me if I could afford the 6 shots she gave my cats, she just wiped out the needles, one of which she broke off in my cat!!!!!!!!!!! pulled it out and stuck a new one in him, mark, I was almost in shock! She made them WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! That night the cats ran such a high fever, and they were ok before I took them there, that my normally quiet sis meowed all night long she didn’t want me to sleep I think she was afraid to be left alone in case something happened to her! Now both mark an sis follow me from room to room. The kitten stills sneezes I’m at a loss! And completely tapped out money wise and energy wise too! I tried everywhere even other states aspca’s to get help, shelters, including the one the kitten came from, Vets everywhere to please wait for a payment but unless you come through the door showing the green they wont see you, so please don’t suggest taking the cats somewhere else or spending money I don’t have, I’m on disability and spent my food money on the vets. I even went back to the same vet office where I saw a different vet and she told me to go to Walmart and get an antihistamine ( human form ) and try that on the cats!!!!!!!!!! My question is this……… Is Oil of Oregano and olive leaf extract bad or dangerous to cats and kittens or are they ok to give them? So far I’ve tried some homeopathic things on them and some Vit C an A&D an E to no avail. Now the kitten has started losing his teeth, I think he swallowed one the other day too I heard him what sounded like him coughing or choking on something by the time I got there he was just swallowing over an over again I had no idea kittens lost there baby teeth I hope he didn’t swallow one by accident! Will it pass out of him safely if he did? I thank you for any advice you guys have I’m at the end of my rope after 5 months of this. Thank you.

I am going away for a week. They are staying with people who have had cats and like cats. But they have a dog so I am worried the dog will terrerize the cats. They are kittens. The people who are caring for the cats will have them at their house. They don’t have any cats right now. They said they would seperate the dog and the cats if things went wrong. Am i worrying about nothing?

I have two momma cats and six kittens living in a room of my house(don’t ask–it’s only temporary). Anyhow, I have a problem with the curious little ones getting behind the door, and sometimes getting pinched when I open it. It’s happened a few times, and I’ve felt really bad about it. I worry so much about stepping on one of them, because they run all over the place, and hide in odd spaces. How can I prevent my kittens from hanging around behind the door? No sick answers, please. I don’t appreciate it, and I will report them.

I’m really keen to get 2 Burmese kittens, but I work from home, and I would like people’s experiences on whether it’s possible to get work done with 2 Burmese cats/kittens. Thank you!
Oh, that IS what I wanted to hear - that I can work at home with them around - but do the responders have experience of Burmese (as they are particularly fond of attention)? Thank you!

I have four kittens. They are about 16 days old. There fur is fluffy and not silky. I’ve never had any of my cats have kittens before, so this is my first time. I’d like to understand many things.

Could someone help me?

Give me some good pointers on kitten facts and such?
Also answer the Question I asked?

Annie M asked:


My 13 week old kitten won’t eat kitten food. We’ve tried wet, moist and dry. The only few brands of cat food he will eat is labeled for cats and kittens. The fat content isn’t as high as in the kitten food but I don’t know how to get him to eat the kitten food. Is this ok since it is labeled for both cats and kittens?
