What else can I help you with?
Can a kitten live in the same house with an adult cat that is not their mother?
Yes, providing the kitten is fully weaned.
When can a kitten be adopted?
A kitten can typically be adopted when they are around 8-12 weeks old, after they have been weaned from their mother and are able to eat solid food on their own.
What do you do with kittens that aren't weaned and don't have a mother?
Don't feed the kitten cow's milk, it doesn't have enough nutrients and the kitten will starve to death. There are plenty of substitute cat milk formulas on the internet. Go google it.
How long are cats weaned?
Baby kittens are usually weaned around five to six week and gradually get them on regular kitten foods.
Why does this kitten like her paw being rubbed she seems to find it relaxing?
If she has been weaned, her mother may have done it and it reminds her of her mother. Try what mothers do when a kitten is scared (if they will even allow you to touch them!) Like rubbing them on the head or the cheek. Or just pet them and relax. Don't pet too vigorously, though. If you are relaxed and act relaxed, then the kitten will relax, too. And like I said before, the kitten probably finds it relaxing because her mother once did it to her to calm her down.
Your kitten is sucking on your tom cat?
That's a funny question. I'm not sure because I don't know your kitten or cat but my best guess is that the kitten is still not fully weaned yet and still wants to suck his/her mother's milk. The kitten must've mistaken it.
What milk should a kitten drink instead of their mothers?
The best milk for a kitten is their mother's milk. If the mother is absent, the best option is to find another nursing Queen that can take on a few extra kittens until they are weaned. As a last resort, kittens can be given Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) which will need to be fed once an hour or every two hours around the clock. Never give a kitten cow's milk as this can make them seriously ill, and offers no nutrients to the kitten.
When a kitten leaves will the mother miss her?
More often than not, no. The mother and the kitten will adjust. Most likely, the kitten will not remember its mother. The mother will be fine.
When do you take over kittens?
As soon as a kitten is fully weaned from its mother and eating solid food on its own, typically around 8-10 weeks of age, it is ready to be taken over by a new caretaker. It is important to ensure the kitten has received necessary vaccinations and veterinary care before bringing them to their new home.
Where can you buy a newborn kitten?
Unless you want a purebred such as a siamese, the best place to find a cat is in the pets column in the classified of the paper in your town. Pet stores sell cats, but why would you want to buy one when so many of them are free and in great need of a home.
What do kittens drink when away from their mom?
If very young, they should drink specially formulated kitten milk for pre-weaned kittens. A vet will be able to supply some. Weaned kittens should only drink water, with kitten or cat milk as a treat. Never feed kittens or cats cow's milk as this often causes diarrhoea.
Why does your kitten suckle on a raggedy bit of an old cushion?
The kitten could think its their mother. Is the kittens mother still with it? If not, the kitten might think for some reason that it is suckling on its mother.
