What helps a mother cat produce milk for her kittens?

Cats nurse kittens until the kittens are about four or five weeks old. At this age, kittens begin to wean and are able to eat soft kitten food. The mother cat's teets will dry and retract slightly. The only true way to tell if a cat is still nursing kittens is through observation.


How long will a cat mourn her kittens?

If the kittens die, or are taken away by humans, it can be very saddening to the mama cat, and will take a long time to get over it. If she only loses one kitten, she will take care of her other kittens. But if its all of her kittens, then she will probably grieve herself to death. She can, actually. If she has another litter of kittens, she might abandon them. Who knows; she might even take care of them. Cats are usually predictable, but sometimes, this can be VERY UNpredictable. So, you never really know. You just have to try it and see. But I would be careful. If you were to take kittens from a mama cat, forever, then you might want to take them at six weeks or older. If you can't do six weeks or older, than do at least four weeks. If they are younger than that, you must leave them with their mama, or feed them warm milk in a bottle. I can give you more information about taking care of cats if you need it. I'll tell you on the Discussion Page.


How long do cats hold there kittens?

When a cat is pregnant she will be pregnant for around 9 weeks. When she goes into labour she will find a comfy place away from noise that she feels safe in. Once born the mother will carry her kittens around by the scruff which is located on the back of their neck. Well she wil carry them to about as far away from an old nest or basket and stop when she is satisfied that she is far away from whatever was causing her to move.


When will you be able to tell the sex of your kittens?

Young kittens are very difficult to correctly sex. The genitals only start to visibly develop once the kitten is at least two or three weeks old. The best way to tell what gender a cat is, it by looking underneath the base of its tail. A male cat that has not been neutered will have two furry testicles right below the anus, and a penis right below the testicles. A neutered male cat will not have visible testicles, but there will be a noticeable space between its anus and penis. Spayed and intact female cats alike will have a genital opening (vulva) which is a tear-drop shape located right below the anus.


How many shots are there for cats?

Phone your vet and they will tell you. Let them know how old your kitten is. As far as full grown cats they require a 'cocktail' shot and also rabies shots. It's important that you keep your pets shots up to date to keep them healthy and well.

Do newborn kittens have venom in their claws?

No. Newborn kittens do not have venom in their claws. There are a number of real and unreal reasons for people to believe that kittens have venom in their claws: * Some people are allergic to cats and may have associated the claw touch with the reaction. * Claws come into contact with a number of things (including the litter box) - a scratch may get infected as a result and seem like "poison." * Some parents don't want their younger children to play with the kittens, so they tell them that their claws have venom to keep them away.
