How to feed kittens born less than two weeks ago?

Milk cats need to be fed cat-specific milk powder or goat milk powder before they are four weeks old, instead of breast milk, and cannot be fed milk. If the kitten has just entered the house and has not had time to buy special milk powder, it can temporarily feed some infant formula (0-3 months) or Shuhua milk for emergency. Breastfeeding cats should follow the principle of eating less and eating more.

Feeding tools can be special bottles, syringes and droppers for cats. It is recommended to use a special bottle for cats. Milk cats like to wrap their mother's nipples with their tongues when drinking milk. Using a bottle will make a kitten feel like drinking milk in its mother's arms. If you use a syringe, you should pay more attention. If you push the milk too much or push it too hard, it will easily lead to suffocation of the milk cat.

The temperature of the cat's nest

When a cat comes home, it must first prepare a warm and clean nest for the cat. For a suckling cat born less than a week, it is impossible to regulate its body temperature by itself. They must have fallen asleep in the mother cat's arms. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a warm and comfortable nest for nursing cats. The ideal temperature of a cat's nest is 30-35 degrees, and the room temperature is 24-25 degrees. Warm water bags or warm babies can be used to keep the cat's nest warm.

Be careful not to put warm water bags or warm babies directly into the cat's nest, and wrap them with smooth towels or clothes to prevent scalding kittens. Test the temperature outside the warm baby by hand, and it is advisable not to burn it.

Choose a cat nest with a certain height to prevent kittens from crawling out. You can also use a cardboard box. Blankets or old clothes can be put in the cardboard box to keep the kitten warm. If you want to put the warm baby and other insulation appliances in, you should use spacious cartons. Put warm baby and other insulation appliances in a corner of the carton, so that the kitten can adjust the distance when it feels hot. In addition, the cat's nest should not be placed in direct sunlight.
