1. Female cats frequently move kittens from one place to another
Female cats frequently move kittens from one place to another, even if the shoveling officer moves the kittens back, it will still find them I have the opportunity to change another place. The root cause of this behavior is that the female cat has no sense of security in the current position. It wants to move the kitten to a place where it thinks it is more secure. This behavior is the first time a baby is born. The most obvious is the baby's mother cat.
In the home environment, under the bed, in the closet, and under the desk are common places where mother cats hide their children. Z2z, shoveling officers, don’t underestimate the behavior of the mother cat hiding the children, because the cat’s math is really bad. It may forget whether it is 4 children or 3 children in the process of changing places. In the end, will cause some The kitten died. ...
The glutinous rice of Lao Wang’s family changed its position twice after giving birth to a baby. One was moved from the delivery room to under the bed. Every time Lao Wang wanted to see the kitten, he had to get under the bed... Second This time, he moved from under the bed to the gap between the side of the refrigerator and the wall. In the end, Lao Wang could only block the gap between the back of the refrigerator and the wall with a box, and then used a cardboard box to give the glutinous rice out of the delivery room...
When Strong lights in the delivery room, low temperature in the delivery room, noisy environment in the delivery room, and frequent entry and exit of humans in the delivery room area can cause the female cat to feel insecure and lead to Tibetan kitten behavior. Therefore, the cat delivery room needs to be specially set up:
1, the light conditions in the delivery room are not easy to be strong, preferably low light , to ensure that the shovel officer can observe the status of the kitten at any time.
2, the delivery room has better heat preservation, and it is best to keep it between 30℃-25℃, because the weather is cold recently, you can add a small electric mattress under the cat delivery room.
3. Try to keep a quiet environment in the delivery room. The shit shovel officer should not spy on the kitten when he has nothing to do, or even touch the kitten without gloves. This will cause the nervousness of the cat mother in the house.
4, 2-3 weeks in advance, prepare a separate room, bathroom, study, and a room that one does not often go to . At the beginning, draw the curtains and place a night light in the corner. If the temperature is low, turn on the air conditioner or put a small electric mattress. Put in a litter box, a cat litter, a cat scratching board, and some cat toys, and a cat delivery room is ready.
2. Mother cats don’t like to take care of kittens, and they don’t even take care of
. Common cat mothers’ behaviors: plays with the kittens after giving birth; doesn’t like breastfeeding the kittens ; even if they put the kittens next to her, I also completely ignore it; some people will sit on a kitten...
For this situation, can only say that the mother cat’s motherhood is poor and it is not suitable for breeding cats , because of the mortality rate of kittens without the care of the mother cat Very high! Because kittens not only need to eat the mother cat’s milk, get the energy for survival and antibodies against most diseases, but also need the mother cat’s body temperature to maintain their own body temperature. In the first month of birth, they need the mother cat’s licking. To defecate and urinate.
For this situation, the only way to artificially feed the kittens is . The shoveling officer will feed the kittens. The shoveling officer will feed the kittens, promote urination and defecation, and even teach some behaviors, such as using cat litter and being close to people.
3. The mother cat suddenly refused to take care of a certain kitten
The mother cat suddenly refused to take care of a certain kitten , even took the kitten out of the cat litter . There may be two reasons: one is this The physique of a kitten is the weakest in a litter or has a birth defect ; another reason is that the shit shovel officer directly touched a certain kitten without wearing gloves.
For the first case, if placed in a natural environment, this behavior is to protect other kittens in a litter. Because if the kitten dies in the litter, it will attract other natural enemies, so abandoning this kitten can better protect other kittens. Even someThe mother cat will choose to eat this weak kitten directly...
But in the domestic environment, 's solution to this situation is still to raise artificially. Don't try to put the kitten back secretly. In the arms of the mother cat, because may really happen to the mother cat eating the kitten . One month after the mother cat gave birth, try to live in the same room with the shit scavenger or install a child walkie-talkie, so that you will know any abnormal calls made by the cat.
For the second case, the solution for is to wipe the kitten on the mother cat’s butt , so that the kitten is re-stained with the smell of the mother cat. If the mother cat starts to lick the kitten after smelling the kitten Cat, it means that the mother cat has accepted the kitten again. At the same time, remember to wear disposable gloves when you come into contact with kittens.
How to artificially feed kittens is also a very serious matter, because kittens have to eat multiple times a day, and eating too much can easily cause digestion problems; and help kittens to defecate and urinate regularly every day.
In terms of alternative milk, we recommend the domestic Huishan pure milk (both in bags and boxes). At this time, many people will ask, can’t cats drink milk? Isn’t goat milk powder the most recommended?
1. In the kitten stage, the cat actually has lactase in the body, but as the age increases, the amount of lactase in the body will gradually decrease, so it is not recommended for adult cats to feed milk.
2, any milk powder can not achieve the same nutritional value and composition as the finished milk, so if you can choose the finished milk, do not choose milk powder, no matter milk or goat milk.
3. If you buy bulk milk, please boil the milk before feeding it to the cat at room temperature. Even if it is finished milk, take the milk out of the refrigerator in advance and heat it to room temperature.
For every 30g of kitten’s weight gain, the daily need for milk will increase by 8ml. When the kitten is full, it will no longer take the initiative to eat. Never feed the kitten hard, which can easily lead to digestive problems and diarrhea Cats have diarrhea and die easily.
Kittens should eat at least 6 meals a day before 2 weeks, with an average meal interval of 4 hours . After eating, you need to stroke the kitten’s back until hiccups , and after eating 2 times, needs The cotton swab is dipped in baby oil to stimulate the kitten’s butt and help the kitten to urinate.
Kitten after 2 weeks, eat 3-4 times a day every 6-8 hours after each meal, still need to stroke the back after each meal, until the milk hiccup, and then use a cotton swab to stimulate the kitten’s butt to help urination , Defecation.
So the mortality rate of kittens without cat mothers is really high, so if the mother cats in the family are not maternal, then , when the kittens are over after the lactation period, will take them for sterilization . Otherwise, if it has another child, you need to shovel the poop to feed the kittens artificially throughout the process.
