What Do You Do If Your Cat Has A Dead Kitten?
  • Get rid of it or she will. You won't like her method.
  • So sorry to hear about the kitten. Any baby be it human or animal that dies is sad. The other poster is correct. Bury the kitten right away.
  • Don't knock it off as dead right away. Pick up the poor seemingly dead kitty. Rub it very gently and warm it's body; push very gently on it's chest and see if you can get it's little lungs and heart going. Sometimes life just needs a push, but be careful, if you push/rub TOO hard, you'll break the kitten's ribs.

DONT LET YOUR CAT EAT IT.

Make sure it's dead. If you have a ball syringe you can use that to gently suction fluid out of the cat's mouth to clear its airway.

How do know if a kitten will be a fluffy cat?

You can't tell if they will be fluffy or not. As the kitten gets older it will get easier to tell if the kitten is longhaired or shorthaired, but in very young kittens it is very difficult to tell.


If a kitten gets left by its mother what should you do?

Go to any pet store and buy suppliment formula to feed the kitten. Call a vet and make an appointment. They will be able to tell you how much to feed it and when and will also make sure that the kitten is healthy. If you cannot afford to take the kitten to a vet call a local shelter and they may help.


How can you tell if a newborn kitten is blind?

Signs of blindness in a newborn kitten can include difficulty finding its mother's teat, bumping into objects, not responding to movement, and acting more disoriented than its littermates. A visit to a veterinarian can confirm the kitten's vision status through a thorough examination.


The first kitten was fine. The second was still-born. Now she is acting weird. Is it normal to just have two kittens and how can you be sure that your cat will not have anymore kittens.?

If your cat has given birth to a stillborn kitten she needs to go to the vet. The kitten may have been deformed, in which case it would have died anyway. However its death may have been the result of a disease or infection in her uterus. This may kill her if she isn't seen by a vet. It may also have died because it was squashed inside its mother as she was giving birth. If the umbilical cord is squashed it will deprive the kitten of oxygen long enough to kill it. This is abnormal and may mean the cat has difficulty giving birth. In this case it's possible, even probable that there are kittens still inside. Two kittens is not abnormal in the way that a human having six babies at once is abnormal, but it isn't normal either. Usually four to six is considered normal. I can't make a diagnosis based on 'acting weird'. If she is lying down, straining, panting, looking at her back end and acting distressed, there's a fair chance that a kitten is stuck. A cat's vagina is far too small to put fingers inside and assist the delivery that way as would be done with most larger animals. If a kitten is stuck, the only way to deliver it is by caesarean section. Again if this is not done the kitten will die and probably the mother as well. If only one or no afterbirths came out with the kittens, again she needs to be seen by a vet. If the placentas remain inside the cat they will rot and cause a serious and probably fatal infection. There is also a chance that there are more kittens, dead or alive, inside her. What seems a small amount of blood to a human - as little as two tablespoons - is considered a massive haemorrhage for a cat. I can't tell what went wrong or whether there are more kittens without looking at your cat. I have to stress again, TAKE HER TO THE VET. The vet can determine whether there are more kittens inside her and do a Caesarean section to remove kittens or retained placentas if necessary. If your cat's behavior seems odd to you - chances are that something is wrong. Trust your instincts and get help. Your cat deserves it.
