PLEASE HELP!!!....Advice needed for catdaddy with kittens!!!...

[moosmom]

First of all, the kittens shouldn't be weaned before they are 8 weeks, if possible. 3 weeks is way too soon.

Keep them isolated to one room with mama, for their own safety and well being. Let them have peace and quiet. At 6 weeks, you can begin weaning with a saucer of canned kitten food mixed with KMR, a milk supplement in a can. Put a little on your finger and put it to the kitten's mouth to lick. Put their mouths to the stuff and they'll get the idea.

Unless you plan on keeping them all, I'd keep them isolated. Especially since none of them have had their shots yet, and also if there are any other pets in the home.

If you plan on keeping them and there are other pets, you will need to be introduced gradually.

Be sure to "kitten proof" the room that you'll keep them isolated in. When they get to around five or six weeks they become very very rambunctuous. They'll eat anything. When they start teething, they'll chew anything.

Take down curtains and shut closet doors. Remove all lamps that can go. Put in cardboard boxes that they can play in.

Good luck cat daddy!

Thanks so much for the advice...what concerns me the most is the amount of time I will be away when they are just learning to eat solid food. How many times a day does a 6 - 7 week old kitten need to be fed?????...I will continue to update pictures and news of my adventure with the 2 furballs of joy. (at least I am hoping, because their mother, Zilla, is a krazy, non-stop, bouncing of the walls terror

Also, for those of you who asked, I think I am going to keep them. Zip is almost 16 though and stresses easily after losing her sister of 14 years, Shy last year. So we'll see. I want Zip to have very good golden years. She deserves it.

Hmmm...

about the kittens...I can't really think of any advice, but I bet I know where you can find some:
1) talk to a vet.
2) look for cat care books at the library. I'm sure you'll find something there.

GOOD LUCK!
