Congratulations on the birth of the “Dragon Seed”! But it also means that I have to do my best to take good care of the kitten, so let’s get the key points to take care of the kitten!
1. Keep warm
Temperature is very important to kittens, because the cat’s body is temporarily unable to generate enough heat on its own to sustain life, so kittens generally rely on the body heat of the cat’s mother to keep warm. So parents should pay attention to the kitten has not left the cat mom too far, otherwise it is easy to lead to heat loss and death!
Milk cats without the care of the cat’s mother should pay more attention to keep warm, parents can put a warm mattress inside a higher paper box, or even put a heating blanket, but be careful not to overheat, to prevent low-temperature burns.
2. Feeding
If the cat’s mom is there, everything will be fine, but if there is no cat’s mom, the baby needs to be handled by the parents. With a medical syringe, feeding warm goat milk (pet goat milk powder instructions have instructions on the proportion of brewing, do not intentionally increase the concentration, too thick milk not only can not be absorbed, and even cause diarrhea.)
Portion and frequency: For newborn kittens, the average feeding amount is 2-4 ml per time, every two hours. The exact amount can be appropriately adjusted depending on the size of the kitten. Subject to the kitten is full and does not continue to bark. As the kitten slowly grows, the amount of food per feeding should be gradually increased and the interval between feedings can be extended.
3. Stimulate bowel movements
Before twenty days of birth, kittens will not defecate on their own, and a mother’s child is like a treasure, so the cat’s mother will lick the lower abdomen and chrysanthemums of the kittens to promote defecation. When hand-feeding, you can use a clean cotton swab dipped in warm water after each feeding to gently massage their little buttocks to stimulate them to defecate and urinate.
This is the pooper scooper to become a milk cat points, I hope your baby cat can grow up healthy, soon become the “head of the family”.
