Started with 5 newborn kittens and the mama cat, 3 succumbed to Fading Kitten Syndrome suddenly at 2 1/2 weeks old. Now 2 calico kittens and their calico mom remain. She was so stressed out, she climbed up our fireplace and closed the damper by sitting on it. The Fire Department came to the rescue and got her out.

  • What's Fading Kitten Syndrome?

  • Newborn kittens are fragile, helpless creatures who rely on their mother for nutrition as well as social education. Kittens that do not survive the first few weeks may have "fading kitten syndrome." About 20-40% of all kittens born will not survive past 12 weeks of age. Causes of kitten death in the first 12 weeks of life are generally linked to problems associated during development in the uterus, with the birth process or around the time of weaning.

  • Wait, wait, wait... I'm a moron... because I don't think kittens should die? Little confused here, please clarify. I mean, I'd understand if you aren't a fan of cats... but I just don't get how asking what your problem with wanting kittens to die makes me a moron...

  • That is true. The stray problem is overwhelming. And we have no way of knowing how healthy these two kitties turned out to be. It's just the way that you said it that made it sound... well, kinda malicious. You know what I mean?
