Kitten!

Trilby · 07-31-2011, 08:11 AM

First off - I know, I KNOW! But it's too late now. Zoey gave birth this morning to two kittens - one was stillborn.

She just has the one little black critter left. It's been years and years since I had kittens and I'm rusty. I'm not even sure this kitty will survive - it's so awfully small.

Any advice?

Remember to feed it. That's the best I've got.

Trilby · 07-31-2011, 09:24 AM

Momma is feeding it now.

I mean, it just got born.

name suggestions?

Grimalken.

And get your two girls FIXED, babba!
It's not fair on them to keep breeding.
Although I guess that's what you meant in the first line of your post...

I'd bloody love to have a newborn kitten in my house right now.
Except Diz is such a monster he might try to eat it.

just keep them warm and momma kitty will take care of the rest. please post a pic if you can. i could use a good "awww, that's so cute"

At this stage, let mama deal with it. Just keep an eye out to make sure she knows how to be a good mama. As long as she is cuddling it, and feeding/cleaning it, things should be fine for the first while. I would just make sure mama has enough food and water to nurse.
As for names, personally I would wait, let the little one develop its personality a bit first. A name might just come to you as you watch it play. And waiting to see the sex might help in naming as well

Good luck, and congrats!

*embarrassed*
actually, now I have five. Most of them were accidental.

Baby is still alive! Looks like a black mouse if you ask me. Momma taking very good care of.

Black kittens, black meeces, love them all.
You've been blessed.

Now get them fixed!

Call the new cat-baby Mrs Olney.
You'll be explaining it forever and I predict (looking into pretend crystal ball) that one of the conversations will lead to.... LOVE!!!! And sex.

You shouldn't name it, then you can't eat it. Advice: shave it before preparation.

She's been running around with black mice, has she? Once you go black mice, you never go back ..... nice.
