I have a kitten I found a week or so ago and I think she is about 4-6 weeks old. She's seems very healthy (I have yet to take her to a vet but I will once I have enough money!) I gave her a bath last weekend since I had found her outside and unsure if she had fleas.
I know you can't always give a cats a bath but I think I read somewhere that I need to wipe her after every meal and after she uses the restroom. I keep her in a box and sometimes she may sit in awhile after peeing or so overnight. When i wake up should I wipe her straight away and change the blanket?
I would hate her for her to get sick or maybe get me sick when if hold her. Does it matter what i wipe her with? A little dawn on a warm wash cloth or maybe kitten wipes from the pet store? Do I need to wipe her after every meal or just at the end of the day? I do plan to make some space for her soon so she can easily get to a littler box when i start to train her but at the moment I am unable to do so. Thanks in advance and any other advice would also be appreciated!
EDIT-
Actually, I just put her in a cage in the garage as my parents do not want her wondering the kitchen if she escapes and thats what worries me. She's so small and the bars are quite far apart (its meant for bigger animals) could she possibly squeeze through the bar? I can no longer keep her in a box she seems to jump out a lot. It makes me feel like I'm not giving her enough attention and being cruel :/
