The mother was less stressed and all the kittens made it which was wonderful a couple of them were super tiny. All of those kittens grew up to e sweet lovale tame cats. I would not handle the kittens very much at all while they are super young. I researched and read that on the internet also |
I don't handle them to/to much, just about a minute each, well maybe not even that long, just enough to wait for Anne to get out of her bed and go get her food and water, then I lay a clean blanket down on the carpeted floor, pick the babies up and lay them on that, take out the puppy pad if it's dirty and change it and then put another clean blanket on top of that and then put the babies back in. When Annie gets back in the bed, sometimes she doesn't lay down until I move the babies out of her way, and once she gets comfy, I put the babies back to her teets and go out of the room. Do you think that's to much handling?
