no,but really a kitten should start eating from cat food is when the mother
there really is no age... when the kitten first leaves its mother it misses her and wants her to come to it.. once the kitten gets used to its new house and new people they will stop.. and start purring more
Not really. The mother cat will usually eat the kitten placentas and will, as a result, get back a small amount of the protein she has expended in creating the kittens. But there is nothing special about the placentas, and depriving the mother cat of them will not hurt her.
When it get swollen it might be that she is pregnet
Answer: The mother cat seems to be handing the kitten over, rejecting it, maybe this kitten is unwell or has a defect, or maybe the mother is struggling to look after her whole litter and is giving the weakest one up, so that she can concentrate on the stronger kittens. Advice: If you are always returning the kitten to her and she just keeps bringing it back and putting it in obvious danger maybe you should consider hand raising this kitten, bottle feeding etc.. Until it is stronger, but please read up on how to do this properly, this is if mother cat really isn't wanting anything to do with this kitten, and you are concerned its health is being compromised.
If the kitten is as you say 'way to young to be away from its mother' then you can't really, cats need to be with there mum for at least 8 weeks, and during that time the mother will keep it clean, full, out of dangour and in check. If however you have a kitten under the age of 12/13 weeks and don't have it's mother you need to be patient with it. as it becomes older you will be able to hiss to deter it from behaviours you do not like, or a spray bottle of water, but while so young and dependant, just give it lots of love.
The cat will start getting skinny no matter how much it is eating, they will have an irritation and itchiness of their hindquarters, and you at one point be able to see a worm there. You should REALLY get a check up for your kitten.
Of course! It really doesn't take long for the kitten to distinguish its owner from other humans.
I dont think so. A very hungry raven might attack a small kitten or puppy if the mother was not around, but only if they are really starved.
You don't bottle feed your kitten at all, if your kitten has a mother, it will naturally drink its mother's milk. Better answer: If you absolutely needed to bottle feed a kitten you could give it "Hartz precision nutrition milk replacer for kittens", or any other brand of kitten milk replacer. Try to let the baby nurse on mom for at least two days though before trying to bottle feed, and never forget a baby kitten cant use the bathroom on its own, so you need to use a warm wet rag and gently rub genitals to help it eliminate. At 5 weeks you shouldn't have to help it go potty anymore. Many people try bottle feeding baby kittens or puppies and then wonder why the baby dies, and it is normally because the owner does not know you have to help them go potty. I really hope this helped! :)
Coyotes often do... But really any carnivore/omnivore that is bigger, or stronger, or smarter could potentially eat a kitten.
You really need to have a word with a hair dresser if your not sure .
