How to care for newborn cats
Newborn cat care matters:
1. Kittens do not have the consciousness to defecate and urinate on their own. If the kitten is with the mother cat, the mother cat will do it every 30 seconds. In ~60 minutes, the kitten will use its tongue to help the kitten defecate and urinate. If there is no mother cat to take care of the kittens, the owner needs to use a wet paper towel dipped in warm water to gently wipe the kitten's anus to stimulate defecation.
2. When the kitten is 1 month old, its body is weak and it is necessary to keep warm. Except for stray cats, 1-month-old kittens cannot live without their mother cats and need to be fed with breast milk or goat milk powder. Do not feed the kittens random other things.
3. No matter how dirty or unclean the kitten looks, the owner should also pay attention and never take a bath immediately. The most you can do is use a wet towel or paper towel dipped in some warm water to wipe it, and dry it while wiping it.
4. When kittens drink milk, they like to wrap their mother’s nipples with their tongues. Using a bottle will make the kitten feel like he is drinking milk from his mother's arms. Use caution if using a syringe. If the amount of milk is too large or too strong, it can easily cause the cat to suffocate.
Daily precautions for newborn cats:
1. Do not play with them excessively, because the kitten’s body is very fragile and may be injured if you are not careful.
2. Try not to bring strangers to see the kittens, and do not have too much contact with the kittens yourself to prevent the kittens from becoming stressed.
3. Keep the kitten’s living environment clean, dim the light, and keep it quiet.
