    Don't Wash Before Supper

    I just read this in my daily calendar:

    Newborn kittens will continue to feed at the same nipple at which they first fed. In most cases, there is no sibling rivalry for a place at the table, since each nipple has a unique smell!

    NOTE: Washing a mother cat's belly can produce some family squabbling.

    Interesting
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    No bath for Bonnie then, right?

    I did not know about the kittens having each their own nipple. How nice.

    I thought this was a good one for all of you that have recently fostered new litters!

    I had heard about this on a show on Animal Planet but I didn't know that if you washed the mother then it could cause family squabbling.
