All so active, purring walking around, sniffing out food bowls.
Just seems like mam doesn't like when all kittens feed at once she seems to prefere a couple at a time I'm not sure if this is because they are getting bigger or if rhis is...
Mams feeding again but she doesn't look comftsble and keeps pushing the kittens away the panting has subsided and all nipples seem to be in a nice condition,

Do I need to intervine with feeding I'm not sure some people saying it's OK for them not to gain when being so active but it's still not changed today and slightly panicking
She is also very reluctant to leave them in the nest, even though it has been kept clean and out the way of household traffic she is very much insisting they go under my bed, iv put them back 8 times today and she's yet again moved them under my bed.
I'm a tad worried today kittens havent seemed to of gained any weight they are starting to explore and literally running all over today literally running climbing up there pen and mamas done nothing but meow at them she seems fed up of them all scarpering however the weight is concerning, do I...
Hey its me again,
So kittens are almost 3 weeks and iv noticed there is a fair few trying to explore coming outside the nest and walking around for a few minutes then getting. "lost " when wondering more then a few feet from Nest and crying for mam who of Corse puts the kitten back, mama...
This one seems to be on the wander he's the heaviest aswell but mama keeps returning him he eventually gives in and has a nap with his brothers and sisters!
Mamas got extra formula she's got an extra bowl full that'd been topped up regularly,
Boiled chicken breast and some Mackrell fillets.
Kittens are more sturdy on there feet one of them keeps wandering off near food bowls but mama takes him back.

Thankyou I didn't know that about the coat we don't know who mother is as he was just wondering on he's own, he was walking a little to one side and a little unbalanced the vet did say this would just be who he is and the normal for him due to the broken/snapped tail, & I don't have any photos I...

Hey guys,
This one is for my mum for some advice.
My teenage brother recently found a kitten wandering around in some trees,
He brought it home as it was rather fluffy and looked chunky but on picking up was skin and bones as well as flea infested,
After a trip to the vets the kitten was...
