Congratulations on your new baby! There's no love like kitten love! Welcome to the club.

There are many here that take care of little kittens and can advise you better than I, but I'd like to mention that cats really shouldn't have cow milk. I know that a lot of people give cats a saucer of milk, but it will really make them sick. (I mention this because I was shocked that my mother only learned this recently and she's had cats all her life).

The other thing I'd ask you to consider is having her microchipped when she's older. There is a link below the photos of my cats below that will give you more information. Ask your vet about it when she's old enough to be spayed. I know she's an indoor cat, but cats do have a habit of racing out the door to explore. From personal experience, I tell you that a lost kitty is very hard to find. A microchip injected in the kitty links it back to you or your vet. If she's found by a kill shelter or taken injured to a vet, they can "scan" her and quickly reunite the two of you.

Please enjoy your baby. Take lots of pictures because many, many years from now you'll want to look back at your big 'ole lapcat's baby pictures. And, or course, we all want to watch her grow up right here on Pet Talk.
