My cat keeps moving her kittens – why?

Okay, thanks :)

Hi everyone, I’m posting some new photos from this morning :)

The "lazy lot" will soon snap out of it, you’ll see :)

Okay, we’ll wait for the photos :)

And good luck for tomorrow!

Poor you, you won’t be feeling very fresh given how late it is!

See ya. :)

Right, I’m off then, because even though it’s the Bank Holiday tomorrow, I’m still working!

Goodnight *

and thanks again

Oh, that fast already??

The little rascals are still a bit sluggish for now!

Yes, I’ll take some photos, but Cachou has stressed me out so much with her constant fidgeting that I don’t even dare touch them or open the box anymore!!!

:-/

Oh yes, they’ll do everything they can to escape that box (haha!)

Hey, could you post some photos for us?

They must have changed so much since the ones on your profile!

In 8 to 10 days, you can start giving them some wet food, dry food, raw beef mince, yoghurt (plain and unsweetened), fromage frais, or even a bit of Laughing Cow (but not every day as it might cause diarrhoea—I’d say every other day, they’ll usually go mad for it).

Stop it, you’re making me blush! ;)

Haha!! See, I told you you’re a walking encyclopedia!!

Are they climbing out of their box on their own yet?

Are they eating mum’s wet food?

Dellys, you are BRILLIANT!!!

:-)

Right, so yes, it’s perfectly normal that their eyes are open already.

They’re 18 days old today, so you’ll see that by the end of the week they’ll be clambering about more and more.

I can tell you now, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why a nursing cat can’t have an anaesthetic.

I’ve had cats that have had C-sections and there were no problems at all.

Three years ago, I also had a girl who had to have a C-section 10 days after giving birth (I hadn't had an X-ray done and one kitten had died), and there were no issues – the little ones just kept on nursing.

Your kittens will start eating around mid-May (maybe even a bit earlier), so there’s no problem getting her spayed at the end of May.

The kittens were born on the evening of 12th April and for now they’re just sleeping the whole day away, though they are starting to have the occasional bit of a rough and tumble — but only a little bit.

Yes, I need to head to the vet as I think he said I had to wait about six weeks after she's had her litter, but isn't anaesthesia risky while a cat is still nursing? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until they’re weaned?? Oh dear, so many questions!!! :-/
