Looking after a kitten is a big job. You need to be responsible in order to keep the kitten healthy. You need to feed the kitten Kitten Food 2-3 times a day, give it water when the water is gone and make sure the kitten is eating. You need to give your kitten attention and love. If your kitten is an indoor kitten, make sure you have a CLEAN litter box. If it is an outdoor kitten, it should go outside! This is optional but you can buy your kitten a cat bed or toys to make it more happy. JUST REMEMBER: A kitten is a big responsibility, so you cant just expect it to take care of itself.

Do you mean the female cat? If so, the cat should be taking care of her kittens by nursing them, teaching them how to wash themselves, etc. Usually the father cat does not do much in parenting.

Your mother cat will be pretty exhausted by the effort. Give her some milk or water and something to eat. If your cat trusts you very well, she will let you touch the kittens, but otherwise she may hiss or hurt you if you try and touch the kittens. The kittens will be OK with the mothers milk but by 3 weeks give it kitten milk which you can by at the supermarket. Also put kitten dry food in it. adult dry cat food it bigger and harder than the kittens. If the milk is cold, the kittens will start shivering as they drink but it is OK. I had 21 kittens in my lifetime and none of them died by drinking cold milk for the first time.

Good Luck!

(by about 1 month they should be waddling about happily!)
