hi um my friends cat just had babys is it okay if i were to get one at the age of 1 month?? like will it know how to use the litter box and will it need milk?? if so what kind is it like normal milk?
1 month is a little young. The kitten will need to nurse for a while longer before being weaned. A kitten that young will also need help from the mother to pee and poo. Only after they are a little older will they know to use a litter box. They generally figure it out pretty quickly but sometimes make mistakes.
You can't feed cats normal milk. It will make them sick. You can get special kitten formula at decent pet stores.
A kitten taken from the mother too early will need special care including bottle feeding and techniques for helping them pee and poo. They also need to be kept warm.
I had to do that for this kitten from the day she was born. She's doing great now. She thinks I'm her mother.
There are many good resources online for how to take care of young kittens.
The mother is an outdoor feral. Those are two of my indoor cats which I had also found as kittens. They like the kitten just fine when they're not being chased and attacked. Kittens need to play fight so your big cat might get attacked soon.
Cats are funny. Your big cat will probably get used to the kitten but it may take time.
Good luck! Also, buy lots of Neosporin ointment and band-aids.
is one of the cats a Maine Coon?
