We used to have a rule of no names because it would make it sadder to give them away, but we always ended up giving nicknames instead so we ditched that rule.
Thats brilliant, I was alittle worried about the smaller two.Yes! The top three have hit 8 ounces, which is the ideal weight at 14 days. The smallest is 6.9 ounces, which is right on target if not a little ahead for 11 days old. Mama kitty is producing good milk!
Watch that they all gain 4 ounces or about 114 grams each week going forward. They should weigh one pound at 4 weeks; two pounds at 8 weeks, etc., if not more. They are doing great so far!
I hope thats the case and she's just a vocal babyUnless she’s hungry, she just sounds like she’s going to be a chatty little busybody kitten!
Hi.Is tinned tuna okay to give mama cat? Or only the occasional treat?
I've been mixing her wet food, egg shell and just abit of tuna together when she hasn't eaten much and she seems to love it! Not sure if its something you should only give occasionally or its okay if it means her eating more??
Also just ordered a water fountain, hopefully it will encourage her drink more too!
Great! Just trying to encourage her to eat more, I wouldn't want her milk supply to run low.Hi.
The kittens are so cute!
I would say its okay as long as it is more or less just plain tuna. (Eg. not spicy flavoured tuna or super salty oily tuna).
I wouldn't entirely feed her tuna but mixing it in her wet food or as a treat I think is a great idea.
The water fountain idea is good as it will also keep the water circulating and keep the water fresh.
She certainly does love it, and is eating better now mixing it with her wet food Is tinned Salmon okay too?Tuna is fine as long as she gets her other food too. Most cats love tuna - mine do, and they love the tuna juice also.
I'll get some tomorrow and see if she likes it, my male cat does but then he'll eat anythingYes, if she likes it that’s good as well.
I think that Tuna in spring water would be a better option as they brine is extremely salty and not very healthy for cats, but I think that if you mix it in with her food and/or feed as a treat its okay. Not sure about the oil.Great! Just trying to encourage her to eat more, I wouldn't want her milk supply to run low.
What about the tuna brine, is that OK? Or would it be best to buy it in Sunflower oil?
