That's actually not correct. Worm free mums (with a worm free sire) don't give birth to wormy kittens, many breeders have tested their kittens and found them worm free from worm free parents.All-kittens-have-worms,even-kittens-born-to-championship-show-parents,thats-just-how-it-is,lol,
I think that really depends. Early illness or malnutrition of the mother/kittens can have a lasting effect on health, or health issues can show up later in life from this... I think this is what is going on with my cats as 5 out of 7 from the litter I rescued now have had health problems and they are only 4 years old... The other two, one is healthy as far as I know and the other I don't really have contact with the person who adopted her so I dont know. Three of the kittens of the litter are showing very similar health problems with the two others with issues having milder problems. I can't prove whether this is due to their early life but I feel that this was an influence, they were born to a feral mom and the three who have the worst problems now were much smaller and skinny compared to the others from the litter, when I found them in my garden at 3 weeks old. So I think that even with the good nutrition and vet care I provided once I rescued them that early life still has affected their health now.Oh, yes, even kittens who had a terrible start in life can grow up to be very healthy. As long as you're willing to spend what you need to at the vet. And if the lady was giving them away free I don't think anybody would have said anything. It's just, well, if I were going to pay money for kittens I wouldn't want to have to do ALL the vetting myself.
I don't recall saying all the breeders I was talking about were just over here lolmissymotus,actually,it-is-correct,per-breeders,vets,and-articles-I-have-read.Maybe-things-are-different-in-your-country,lol,different-area/circumstances?
