Try not to touch newborn kittens until their eyes are open (about 10 days old). After that, if the mother cat will allow it, stroke them gently & let them get used to your scent......you should be able to hold them in a couple of days after that.

How do you give a cat oral antibiotics when they have a cone on their head so that you can't hold their head?

I lift my cat up and cradle it in my left arm. Then I grasp my cat by the back of the neck with left arm (not the head). I then insert the medicine in the syringe quickly into the cats mouth with my right hand. Cats don't like this, but I hold on until the cat has swallowed the medicine. This usually works.If your cat has a cone on its head it makes it more difficult and awkward, but you still have to do it. You may need help. Have someone help you while you hold the cat.My male cat recently got sick and wouldn't eat. I gave him the medicine as described and he came out of it in a couple of days.


How can you tell if a cat is a male or a female?

The best way to tell what gender a cat is, is by looking underneath the base of its tail. A male cat that has not been neutered will have two furry testicles right below the anus, and a penis right below the testicles. A neutered male cat will not have visible testicles, but there will be a noticeable space between its anus and penis. Spayed and intact female cats alike will have a genital opening (vulva) which a tear-drop shape located right below the anus.
