My kittens are almost 6 weeks old and still nursing. I was going to let them go to their new homes next weekend. Will the mom wean them? Can they go to their new homes if still nursing? They are eating dry kitten food and moist food as well, plus using the litter box.
Thanks!
Hi there. My five kittens, who are now almost 6 weeks old, keep getting "eye gunk" which closes the lid. I use a warm washcloth and gently wipe it clean and then open the lid. Does this sound like an infection that is passed from one to another? I really can't afford to take 5 kittens to the...
