    My brothers cats kittens kinda claimed my cat as like a second mother

    moms usually separate; even repel the kittens after some time… here it happened a little earlier than the usual. and this is prob why they went to aunt instead. kittens werent done as yet…. lovely story!

    Underweight five week old kitten

    the usual ratio if kmr or goats milk is 8ml / oz; more if she wants. at roughly 7 oz. gives now 55ml. if you can get raw goats milk, give it as supplement. some nice vitamine paste is wise. better many small portions than few big a day.

    Is the size difference alarming?

    girls are often smaller. and longhairs slower dewelopment compared to their shorthair littermates. as long she adds daily; it should be ok! what is / were their daily addings, in average?

    Young stray cat in labor for three days

    ouch. doesnt seem to be any very reliable vet…. I get mixed feelings: our official policy is to not come with medical advices, but recommend vet visit. This policy become with time somewhat loosened up, as many of our forumites are rescuers, not themselves owing the cat. others hadnt no vet...

    Young stray cat in labor for three days

    End is good, everything is good, as the proverb says... Luck cats do have 9 lives as the proverb says. Lets hope everything goes forward and up from here. Momma is of course exhausted and surely sore. But yeah, although its true shorter or longer pauses in the delivery may occur, seldom...

    4 week old kitten has lost weight today

    If you have someone nearby knowleable in tube feeding to the stomach, whom can show you, its a good method with such reluctant kittens. But its difficult and dangerous for a new be, so its necessary to have someone show - and lend you gears... Usually feeding with a syringe or in best case...

    Will he be short haired?

    "Changelings" DO occur, so unsworen is best. But looking at that tail, my heavy money bet will be shorthair.

    Deworming a cat in a not so optimal state

    Drontal you mention is surely good, its an allround, taking both round worms and tape worms... An alternative to the mild Milbomax, with the same main ingredients. Revolution spot on is good, it also takes outside parasites alike ticks - and fleas... But its correct, it dont takes tapeworms...

    Deworming a cat in a not so optimal state

    Yes, flea and parasites can easily make a cat anemic, if they are many... And prob good no blood work was done; its a rather heavy intrusion on the cat... Its no coincidence the vet usually wish to do it alone so the owner doesnt see it. So deworming is surely useful... If you dare with...

    ...Grey or brown?

    It perhaps depends on the light. But lefty is surely brown, righty may be grey. But as the darkest parts on righty seems blackish, he will prob be counted as brown. (or black tabby)

    worried about week old kittens

    Aside of possible internal problems - which MAY happen esp if the cats were from a milieu where inbreeding was common. There are two fairly common causes: pneumonia, which takes many a otherwise healthy born kittens. Or if you want; the most common cause perfectly healthy kittens dies off...
