There was a mother cat that had 4 kittens at our house, but she later abandoned them. The kittens are about 3 weeks old, and right now we are feeding them Milk Replacement with a bottle. At what age should I start giving them food, and also what kind of food is best to give them?

If a cat develops upper respiratory infection, can it be transmitted to other cats?

We have like 3 or 4 generations of wild cats outside. Two of them began to sneeze and had watery eyes. They would still eat and drink water, and seemed to be getting better when suddenly the mother cat and another sibling had the symptoms. Now just today, the uncle came around and he’s got it. If this is respiratory infection, can it be passed from one cat to another?

She does this almost every day, leaving the kitten meowing until I go and collect it and put it back with the litter.
The kittens are less than two weeks old.
It’s not always the same kitten.
5 Kittens.
It’s actually a stray cat and I’m planning on taking her to the shelter as soon as possible.

I’m helping look after my neighbor’s cats for awhile since they left on vacation. The cats are a mother and her son. The mother seemed kind of fat and her stomach seemed to be round-ish but I have no idea how you can tell whether they are pregnant or not. Both the cats are not spayed or anything and only the mother cat and her son are the only pets. Can the mother tell that the other cat is her son? Or would she get pregnant with him? And any idea if they are pregnant, can they still be spayed or something? Please help!

My cat gave birth to 4 beautiful kittens, and one of them refuses to eat normal kitten food. The others are already eating it and they’re fine, but one of them just won’t eat it. She insists on eating from her mother. What would be the best way to get her off of her mother and onto normal kitten food?
I tried all of those, and she still finds a way to convince the mother cat to come back. The kittens are 6 weeks old.
The kitten that refuses to wean has developed the fastest so far…

jack’s mom asked:


The stray cat I adopted had 3 kittens eight weeks ago. I plan on bringing the kittens to the Humane Society to be adopted. I’m afraid the mama cat is going to be very distressed when I take the kittens away. Is there a good way to handle this? Do I take them away when she is not around? Also, I plan on having the mother spayed and keeping her. Do I need to wait a certain amount of time? The kittens are still nursing occassionally.
