1. Cat litter - for cats to go to the toilet. Kitten cat food - nutritionally balanced and good for teeth.
Of course, you can also feed food, just meat. However, every cat’s taste is different, so you can try more. Some of my cats like raw pork, some like beef, some like mutton, and some don’t eat cooked food.
Some like to eat cooked meat... Cat shampoo - Develop the habit of bathing since childhood. It will be easier to wash when you are older, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with cats' fear of water.
Bathing regularly can prevent fleas and other parasites. 2. It is not a problem.
It is still small and alone, so it is clingy.
Spend more time with it. You have a family, a career, and hobbies. You can do many things to relieve loneliness, but it only has you.
And it will only kiss you after you develop affection when you are young. 3. If you have never been in contact with other animals or played on the grass or something, it probably won't happen.
But animals breed easily, so it’s best to bathe frequently. If that doesn’t work, you can go to the pet hospital to buy flea-killing lotion. 4. This depends on your personal habits. If you think your cat is very clean and has no problem going to bed, then let it go.
It goes up.
But I suggest not to do this. When it gets older, if it goes out to make a fuss about cats or something, it would not be good if it crawls under the covers when it comes back... Habits are developed since childhood, so you have to think carefully about it.
5. There are many standards... Check whether there are parasites in the ears, whether you have a good appetite for eating, and whether you go to the toilet normally. Basic problems can be found through daily observation. Of course, if you want to know other things, you have to go to the hospital for routine examinations.
Added: It should be because of the cold. After all, it is still young and its fur is not that thick. Keep warm and don’t let it get wet. Don’t bathe with cold water, use warm water. Wipe and blow dry after washing. 1. The cat’s nest is small.
Cats should be kept in a warm, draft-free nest.
You can use a cardboard box, sterilized cat carrier, laundry basket, etc., line it with towels or blankets, and will need a heat source to keep the kitten warm since kittens cannot regulate their own body temperature until they are 4 weeks old.
This heat source can be an electric blanket, a hot water bottle, or a heating lamp.
Don't let the heat source get too close to the kittens to avoid burning them, and the heat source should be in a corner of the cat's nest so that if it gets too hot, the kittens can move to a cooler part of the nest.
The temperature in the cat's bed should vary from 32-34°C (the hottest part) to 24-27°C on the other side.
When the kitten is 4 weeks old, the external environment can be maintained at around 24°C.
If there are several kittens in the litter, you may not need to keep the litter as hot as if there were just one or two kittens, as they can huddle together to keep themselves warm.
Humidity should be around 50% to prevent dehydration.
If it's too dry, you can spray a little water outside the cat's nest or put an air humidifier.
It is best not to expose kittens under 3 weeks of age to direct sunlight.
2. Basic care: If the kitten has had some milk from its mother, its chance of survival is higher because it has gained some immunity from the colostrum.
If kittens do not receive colostrum, they are more likely to get sick and die.
Maintaining hygiene is especially important.
Notes on hygiene 1) Do not let cats come into contact with other pets (even if these pets have been vaccinated).
Kittens must be quarantined for at least 14 days and tested free of potentially fatal infectious diseases.
Cats are likely to carry various germs and parasites.
2) Do not raise several litters of kittens together.
3) Wash and disinfect feeding utensils, cat litter mats and cat towels with boiling water.
4) Wash your hands well with sterile soap between and after each time you touch the kitten.
5) Prepared cat milk cannot be stored for more than 24 hours.
Prepared cat milk that is not used temporarily should be stored in the refrigerator.
6) Cat milk cannot be left at room temperature for more than 1 hour, and it cannot be fed to kittens after that time.
7) Only heat the amount that should be fed once, and heat it in hot water. It is best not to use a microwave oven (if you use a microwave oven, shake the heated milk well for a while to let the hot milk in the milk disperse)
.
3. Feeding frequency: Kittens aged 0-2 weeks should be fed once every 2-3 hours and once in the evening. Kittens aged 2-3 weeks should be fed once every 4 hours. There is no need to feed at night, but the feeding interval should not exceed 6 hours.
Kittens aged 4-6 weeks should be fed every 6 hours, no feeding at night.
They can last 8-10 hours without feeding, and they should eat some cat food by themselves. You can openly supply cat food to them.
Frequent feeding of kittens can prevent hypothermia, but if fed too frequently, the milk in the stomach will never be emptied, which will cause the milk to ferment and cause flatulence, which is also bad.
Cat milk powder Use the recommended cat milk substitute - cat milk powder. These cat milk powders are formulated according to the energy required for normal growth of kittens. Feed the required amount according to the instructions of the milk powder.
All prepared milk should be heated in hot water to 35-38°C before feeding to the kitten (if using a microwave, shake the bottle well after heating, because the microwave heats unevenly and will produce hot spots. If the kitten drinks
If the milk is hot, it will be burned).
