When can you touch kittens after birth?

Answer 1

You have to wait until the mother cat lets you. One of my cats decided I needed to play with her day-old kittens...she picked them up one at a time, deposited them in my lap and left them there until she figured I'd had them long enough...at which time she collected each kitten and took them back to her bed.ok from suzie438 that is cute

Answer 2

This depends on the mother cat...ours let us touch them when they were just a few hours old! We started to hold them when they were a few days old and lengthened the time slowly, we didn't take them out of her sight at all and only for a few minutes at a time. She was awesome about sharing as long as we respected her by keeping them in eyesight!

Answer 3

i would say not to touch them as soon as they are born because the mother will probably want to clean them and feed them as well, if i were you i would only pick them up after they open they're eyes which is about two and a half weeks after just to be on the safe side, if you want to pick them up earlier, ask a veterinarian.

Answer 4

Of course you can touch the kittens afterbirth, but try not to hold them to much because they need to bond with the mother for at least a week before being held continusley.. But other than that its fine, you will need too keep that kittens\mother warm throughout birth&after

Answer 5

It is generally best to wait until the kittens are at least a few weeks old before handling them. This allows them time to bond with their mother and establish their health. However, if necessary, you can handle them gently but briefly after they are born to check on their well-being.
