update on 5 week old kitten!

littlelinnie · 08-06-2008, 04:20 PM

I messaged the breeder last night because I have been worried about how to look after a 5 week old and to cut a long story short.. I called her buff ( maybe mine aswell) and told her I won't take the kitten until its 8 weeks old.. she replied and has agreed to keep the kitten until 7 to 8 weeks old.. which I am chuffed about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that's good news, the kitten will have a much better time being in a familiar environment until 7/8 weeks

Well done you! A very wise thing to do for the kitten's health.

yes she told me the shes took the mother away from the kittens anyway.. I have no clue why shes done that.. she said they feed a few times a day off her!

Well they need to do that so that they get used to the idea that Mom won't be around forever.

How old are they now?

don't you think thats a little early?? 5 weeks! she said ones going next week and not sure about the others but I am not taking mine until 7 to 8 weeks.. shes got another cat thats just had kittens..
she thinks the mother is persian x because the woman down the road told her blue is a persian colour so shes selling them for £80 each even tho she doesn't know who the dad is..

Well, I think at 5 weeks they should still be with Mom for some of the time, and away from her from some of the time too, which sounds like what is happening. It is better for the babies to be gradually weaned off their mother rather than just taken away.

well sounds like shes doing something right! whoooooooooo! lmao

British Blue, Russian Blue, Chartreux, Korat and moggys! When I was a child many people called any grey (blue) cat Maltese...I thought it was a breed!
