Kitten Care : How Soon Can I Hold a Newborn Kitten?

[xXHeavenXx13]

my first cat sweetie was amazin she let me n my brothers hold her kittens a day or 2 after they were born she was perfectly fine with it the same applied to her second litter i just wish i still had her

[toomzie15]

My cat let me carry her kittens the second day after she gave birth!

[DarknessMaster55]

At some points that little kitten has a " look mommy im on TV" face XD but you can see she wants to take a nap

My cat had six kittens last night :) but one didn't survive and now there is only 5 :( but I still love the kittens it's sad how tht one didn't survive :(

My cat had her kittens last night, everything was great, we had 4 gorgeous little kitties:')The second one however, got stuck and we put on our little gloves and got helping, we had to pull his head out, he was huge.

Dont nag me about the spaying, we didnt realise she was pregnant and we havent got alot of money at the moment.

+ Our cat let us handle our kittens right away, no problem:-)

My cat had 4 kittens yesterday and she wont let me near them can't wait to hold them!!!!!!!

We had to make a 45-minute run to the clinic in Greenville at 3:30 in the morning August 2, 2009 for an emergency c-section. The first one got stuck and didn't make it. But his five other brothers did, and so did mama cat. She understood that I was simply helping her feed her babies from Day 1---al the same, she did give a "what-are-you-doing-mother?" wink at me from time to time.

That is one adorable kitten. o.o

[agfashioncooker]

my cat had 5 kittens this morning but she is soo protective over them

[xXFumbles16Xx]

my cat was eating 1 of her babies im scared to let her near the others

[nickyg]

My cat just had kittens and has been allowing me to handle them, so long as I don't move them too far from her. Is this unusual?

[raycheesy1]

@nickyg No, it means she trusts you. You should be happy(:

[penaqueacabou]

I rescued a pregnant cat last night and she has given birth this morning , but doesn´t seem to care about her babies at all . Is that common ? What should I do ? Where should I keep the babies ? The floor in my house is covered with tiles which is very cold for them . I´m so afraid that they die . Please tell me what to do , Doctor . Thank you so much !

[kade677]

so should you wait till their eyes are open??

[vanessanicole1996]

@kade677 yes but my cat dosent really mind. when i go to her nesting box she leaves and i watch them til she comes back. i guess im her kitten sitter.

[kade677]

@vanessanicole1996 mine are ten days old and my cat does thesame thing now lol. thanks

[soldiergirl84]

@kade677 I was only a child at the time, but I remember that I wasn't allowed to hold one of our cat's kittens until their eyes opened.

[Outcast137]

i had to help my cat give birth. let alone she had them on my lap and woke me up at 5 in the morning making it very clear she was having them=P

[TheJ3sus0FSuburbia]

@Outcast137 How's that for a sign of affection? :P

[Outcast137]

@TheJ3sus0FSuburbia not that it was inconvenient for me to have a "screaming" cat in my ear at 5 am =PP

[TheJ3sus0FSuburbia]

@Outcast137 Not at all XD

[spazattackification]

@Outcast137 lmfao. My cat had kittens at 5 in the morning as well! They're adorable little things. 3 orange tabbies, and one pure black.

[mermaidamp]

Kittens must be kept warm.

[6tracy5]

my cat lets us hold its kittens whenever they where born yesterday cause its 2:21 am where i am and we had to count how many so i had to pick them up and count she doesn't get mad she gets relieved

[ilovecatsforever1]

well when my cat had kittens she brought the kittens on my lap i alway held them cause when i came she always would put the kittens near me

[bushra2610]

my cat just stop playing and come in my room and when i tried to touch the kittens it wentt angry it used to be so cute luckly after a 2 weeks it went normal the father of the kittens was the cat next door

[WeRHelp]

you can some times touch a newborn but i will warn you that no matter how nice your cat is, it still might bring out her motherly instinct.

[QrazyQracker13]

how do u over handle?

[OoDamium4oO]

If the mother is next to the baby and i go to touch or stroke the mother, what will the mother do if i thouch her, when the baby is next to her?

[heckshotstuff1]

It depends, but she may attack you.

[ReaquaintedHorror]

This pretty much sums it all up. I've raised 3 kittens so far, and my sister has raised 2. I didn't hold them all the time but I always kept a portable bed with me(like a suitcase padded with towels or something) so i could keep an eye on them. I wrapped towels around hot water bottles to keep them warm. At 1-2 weeks old I usually don't keep them out of their beds more than 10-20 minutes at a time under any circumstances so that they won't be at risk of getting cold.

[kissmebooty3]

my cat is pregooo

yyeeaa i cant wait

but even if your cat is not agrressive you still mite not want to touch the kittens... this guy does know wat he is talking about...

[uhavemooface]

Not all mommy cats are like that. My mommy cat let me and my fiance touch her kittens the first day and the days after that. It was no problem. Not all mommy cats are like that. This guy is talking about some mommy cats being aggressive. Again this guy has no idea what he is talking about. I have six kittens and the mommy cat was not aggressive at all.

[heckshotstuff1]

And our cat disowned her second litter because it was still to close to her first, and my sister over handled teh kittens
