    Behavior after giving birth

    Thanks for reply! I figured the orange kitten was a boy so I was trying to compare them all but it’s pretty tricky! And that b/w one was also the one that was giving me the most trouble trying to figure out.

    Behavior after giving birth

    Does anyone know which are boys and which are girls? I’ve been looking at all kinds of these pictures online and think I might know but I also have zero confidence in my ability to tell lol. Hopefully these pictures are good.

    What is Hazel’s color pattern called?

    Omg you’re right about the white kitten! I haven’t really started handling them much until this week, Hazel’s been a great mama so I’ve been pretty hands off, but they’re now about 2.5 weeks and yep the white one has some orange-ness coming in on their ears and some faint rings around the tail...

    What is Hazel’s color pattern called?

    I’ve been calling her a calico but I’m not sure that’s exact. She’s also a bit fluffy too. I’m also curious if anyone has any clues what the father(s?) of her litter might have looked like if that’s possible? She was a pregnant stray so I have no idea and am just curious! The kittens are 1...

    Behavior after giving birth

    So I found a couple fleas. 😕 I treated my house, vacuumed, washed everything etc and will be going over the mama and the kittens with a flea comb everyday. There aren’t really that many, it’s not a full on infestation or anything, but I am wondering if there is something that is safe to use on...

    Behavior after giving birth

    Hi, I have another issue. The hair around one of Hazel’s nipples has become extremely matted, to the point where it’s just a ball of fur and the nipple is completely enclosed. It seems like there’s dried milk in the matting too. Does anyone have any experience or ideas on how I could get this off?

    Behavior after giving birth

    Here’s some pictures of the kittens🥰 Now that they can move around more I’ll be lining the cage with cardboard so they don’t get stuck or caught in the bars.

    Behavior after giving birth

    That seems perfect, thanks! I’m so excited to watch them grow into their own personalities, I can’t wait until they’re big enough to graduate into a bigger pen. 🥰

    Behavior after giving birth

    Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely stop her if it gets too rough. Sometimes it’s hard to know if something is wrong and when to step in. I wonder if she’s just getting a bit restless. Yesterday she was running all over the place! Hiding and jumping out at me and playing with all her toys...

    Behavior after giving birth

    Hey everyone, a bit of an update if anyone is curious and another question. Hazel (the mama) has relaxed so much! I don’t know if this was even what she was worried about, but I spent some time with her going over the spot she gave birth, looking under things and checking everything out so she...

    Behavior after giving birth

    Thanks for the replies - I feel better knowing this isn’t unexpected. Having the opening to the wall is a great idea, I’ve just set one up like that. I’ll be getting more boxes with blankets set up around the house today for her to choose from. The only other room I could close her in is the...

    Behavior after giving birth

    A stray cat I took in a couple weeks ago has just given birth yesterday. She originally had them in an unsafe spot, so I moved them somewhere more comfortable and safe for them. The issue now is that she keeps going back to the unsafe spot and scratching around and meowing, like she thinks one...
