Do you know someone who has found a baby cat or do you have one at home? The first days of life of kittens are the most complicated and you have to be very careful with them because they are very delicate. During these weeks it is advisable that he be with his mother as long as possible and she will take care of feeding and cleaning him. If it is not possible for the kitten to be with its mother, we will have to go to the vet to buy a cat’s milk that adapts to the conditions of our kitten. Cow’s milk is too strong for baby cats, does not contain the necessary nutrients and can also cause diarrhea. You will have to bottle feed him until he is on his own. There is something very important that you cannot ignore: the body temperature of your little cat. Puppies need a source of heat because during the first few weeks they are not able to regulate their body temperature. If the kitten gets cold, it can die, so it is advisable to put bags of water wrapped in towels, place it near the heater and, if possible, gather it with its siblings so that they can wrap each other. All this must be done even during summer.
When they are little we must teach them to use their sandbox to relieve themselves. If they still do not have the ability to move to it alone, you will have to stimulate them to defecate as their mother would. Once they manage to defecate, we will transfer the excrement to the litter box so that they begin to associate ideas.
As in some people, the fear that adult cats have of certain situations or suffer in certain specific moments can be related to memories that they carry from small. Respect and stimulate the kitten’s play needs and never punish him unless he does something wrong because he could suffer a lot. You will have to educate him to play without being aggressive. We can use specific toys for puppy cats to entertain you. And if all this is not enough for you, here are 20 tips on the basic care of kittens.
