10 weeks
How does a cat protect its kittens?
When someone tries to harm the kittens, the mother would get up and start growling. All the kittens will have poofy fur because they know somethings wrong. The mother would pick the kittens up by the scruff and bring them to safety.
Do cats look after their young?
A mother cat provides her kittens with food, protection and warmth. Newborn kittens are born deaf, blind, toothless and unable to stand and remain so for the first week or two of their lives. Once the kittens find their feet, they will start to play and explore their surroundings, but will stay close to their mother. Kittens will often run to their mother's side if she calls. Wild, and even domestic cats will move her kittens elsewhere if she feels the nest is not safe, or feels she does not want to draw attention to potential predators who would otherwise pick up the scent of the kittens. When the kittens are around six weeks old, they will start to take interest in their mother's food. The mother will often bring soft cat food, or if in the wild, dead prey to her offspring to eat. In a wild environment, a mother cat will eventually bring alive animals to her kittens so they can learn and practise how to hunt and kill for themselves.
Why would your cat kill and eat her kittens when they were about 2 weeks?
Some mother cats do this for many reasons, sometimes it's because the kittens are ill/deformed... or if someone has been handling the kittens and then the mother can smell their scent on them In both cases it is natural instinct. If the mother cat smells quite different scent in her kittens, she may think kill them for protection. If the kittens are ill/deformed, she also eats them before they die and bring diseases to the rest of kittens. Also dying kittens or dead kitten corpse marks the smell for the predators to notice where she lives.
Your cat had kittens outside what do you do?
It is best to bring the cat and her kittens inside the house to protect her from temperature extremes and other animals. Newborn kittens can't regulate their body temperature and they need to be in a warm room (75 degrees, ideally) without drafts. A box that you cut a hole in lined with blankets or old towels will make a comfortable nursing nest for the mother cat and her babies. The box should be placed in a dark or dimly lit room that doesn't get lots of foot traffic - a closet would be good as long as the mother has access to a litter box and food and water. The kittens should be left alone with their mother for the first week, as they need to nurse almost round the clock. The kittens shouldn't be handled at all in the first week or the mother may get too stressed from having her nest disturbed.
I have found kittens in my shed they are about a week old Should i bring them inside?
Yes, unless they have a mother. If they don't have a mother cat, bring them inside and put them in a comfy basket ( with a soft blanket in it ). Then you have to feed them warm milk and do this everyday.

Does the mom cat stimulate her kittens to pee and poop?
The mother cat will be really ticked off at you if you disturb her litter of kittens. If they are wild, that is. Chances are, if you touch a mother cat's kitten or kittens, she'll neglect them after the scent of human is on her kittens. Translation: She's saying, "They touched you and I'm not caring for you anymore." This however is not true. For I have touched feral kittens and the mother still took care of them. Even though at times I would have gloves on. Which I learned that it doesn't matter whter you do or don't. The mother will get ticked off thinking you are going to take away her babies. In due she'll bring them back to there they were.
Your cat had babies and she won't feed them what can you do to make her let them eat?
You can't make the mother cat feed the kittens. Sometimes a mother cat won't lie down to let the kittens nurse because she wants something from her owners. Has she been following you or meowing around you lately?There's another possibility that she has no milk. I strongly suggest to bring her and her kittens to a vet to see that everything is okay. For the time being, you will have to feed the kittens yourself. Use an eyedropper or a small baby bottle. Hope this helps.
Your cat is pregnant and won't stop going to someone else's home What can you do to help?
Bring the cat into your house and keep it there until it gives birth and the kittens are old enough to leave their mother.

Can kittens die if it is to humid out?
I live in southern Texas and my cat just had kittens. The kittens will pant like a dog, that's normal. I don't think humidity will KILL them, but if your worried just put fan by the kittens. You can also bring the kittens in the house with their mother for a while. the kittens die because they feel like it, gosh. is it that hard to understand?
