    Mother cat too rough?

    I love Kitten Lady! I think I was more questioning mom seeming to want to continue to stimulate them. I guess I thought she’d show them or take them to it etc. We’ve had some serious digging tonight so hopefully by me putting them in there regularly we’ll get there.

    Mother cat too rough?

    Yep I’m definitely expecting spills and cleanups. I’ve had plenty of kittens in my life but was hoping mom would be helping a bit more by now. I’ll take a look at the other litters and additive. Thanks for the tips! ❤️

    Mother cat too rough?

    So mom and 3 kittens are doing well my only concern is mom still hasn’t started teaching kittens to use litter box yet. She’s still taking care of the potty issue. I’ve noticed a few accidents and I think it’s either the kittens or mom is stimulating them but not cleaning like she used to (who...

    Small amount of liquid and pus on cats anus - any ideas?

    I had a cat that had a ruptured anal sac, there was blood/pus and they needed meds to heal up. I never noticed anything with their stomach though. I would definitely check her and call the vet. Hope she gets better soon. ❤️

    Mother cat too rough?

    Absolutely getting them all fixed! No more babies for mama cat. She gets to be plump and happy the rest of her days. ❤️ She’s one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever seen, can’t believe someone didn’t want her! They’ll all be inside cats but my husband wants to get them a stroller so they can be...

    Mother cat too rough?

    You are amazing, thank you for calming my fears. ❤️❤️❤️ We are keeping all of ours too so it will be so nice to see them all grow up together.

    Mother cat too rough?

    Oh thank you so much!!!!!! I know they’re on the “husky” side but I’ve never seen them not gain weight throughout the day. I’ll definitely keep an eye on them because I clearly love to worry. 🤦🏼‍♀️ They’re my kids now too so I guess it’s my job.

    Mother cat too rough?

    I have a new question about my cat and it looks like I need to keep it in the same thread. we weighed all three kittens around 10 AM this morning one only gained 8 grams. Because that was not a lot I weighed her again at 5 PM. There was no change in weight. I weighed all three cats and none of...

    Cemetery Stray

    I replied in my own thread but just a couple things we tried. We tried to adjust temp to make mom happy but keep kittens warm enough. We are also feeding her wet kitten food every 2-3 hours. I know it may not be possible depending on schedules, but my husband is taking the “night shift” and is...

    Mother cat too rough?

    She’s been a lot better since I posted, back to her normal “great mom” self. I have witnessed her grabbing and kicking all 3 kittens so at this point I don’t feel like she is rejecting one, I think she may be trying to discipline them. The things she’s doing look rough at first but after seeing...

    Mother cat too rough?

    Yes, there in a playpen lined and covered with fleece blankets so I think they’re doing ok. The big baby gained 22 grams since yesterday, she’s going to be a chunker!! Here’s the family - we love them all so much already!

    Mother cat too rough?

    They’re good, we have them in a good sized playpen so there’s plenty of room. They seems to enjoy the hot water bottles more than the snuggle safe for some reason. Thanks for the tip!

    Mother cat too rough?

    Yes I think it was a lesson learned for us (although she did grab the biggest kitten a little aggressively today). I’m thinking maybe she just won’t be the warm/fuzzy type of mom as they get older. ☺️ We’ll keep things cooler for us and her and just use more hot water bottles and heat discs for...

    Mother cat too rough?

    Well I just heard back from our vet. Doesn’t seem like there’s much they suggest. It was warm in the house yesterday (keeping ac off for kittens) but today is cooler and she seems more relaxed and back to her normal behavior. Hopefully she was just hot and maybe stressed/tired.

    Mother cat too rough?

    Thank you and I will. I’m a crazy cat lady since the day I was born but this is the first batch of kittens I’ve ever dealt with. We will most likely keep them all (mom too) so we just worry that they grow up big and healthy. ❤️

    Mother cat too rough?

    **Update - this happened again after I posted and I was able to catch it with my phone. It didn't seem as violent as the first time, not sure if that's because it wasn't or if I was just shocked to see it the first time. The bunny kicks didn't seem full force and it looked to be an open...

    Mother cat too rough?

    Hard to tell on other litters since she was a stray. Being as there's only 3 kittens, I'm thinking this may be her first. This little one did seem to have a harder time staying latched than the other two but as she's gotten bigger it's gotten better. Even though she's the smallest, she's the...

    Mother cat too rough?

    Hi, new to the site and could really use some help. About a month ago we took in a pregnant stray, sweetest cat. She had 3 kittens less than two weeks ago. Today I look in on them and she’s got the smallest (still healthy weight just smallest of 3) in a headlock,bunny kicking a 1 week old...
