How far along is my cat ??

[blueyedgirl5946]

The picture of the kitten is so cute. But I love the picture of the top of this boy's head. I want to just put my hand up there and love him some. Sweet, just sweet.

He loves kissing and cuddling them as soon as he gets home he checks on the kittens and molly (he goes to daycare he is my sweet lil boy thats for sure

 

[chaoticmum86]

I have a question the little girl and the orange boy seem to not be gaining as much as the others one day one of them will gain 9g then the other one will gain only 5g .....then the next day they switch roles lol is this ok ??

 

[Sarthur2]

It's okay - at least they are gaining something, but more weight gain is ideal. You should be very concerned if they lose or gain nothing.

Supplementing these two daily with powdered KMR from PetAg is a good idea. You'd use a syringe and feed a few mL's several times a day to give them a boost. See our articles on hand feeding kittens.

They are probably suckling from less productive nipples.

Question the babies are coming up to four weeks this weekend when do i offer kitten food ??

 

[LotsOfFur]

It seems a lot have started introducing a mush of KMR & canned food around 4 weeks.

family photo molly decided she wanted to share me after all after bitung the kittens if they came near me after she was sitting in my lap lol

 

[chaoticmum86]

How much should the kittens weigh at 5 weeks old ??

 

[Sarthur2]

They should weigh around 2 pounds at 8 weeks. The rule of thumb is one pound for every month for the first 6 months. More is good. Kittens tend to gain weight faster when they begin eating wet food along with mom's milk. So, since they are 5 weeks old, they should weigh 16-20 ounces minimum.
