kitten update!

hi fellow furry friends lovers!

just to let you all know coco's kittens are doing really good, and coco has really impressed me how much of a good mum she is. The four lil cuties are now 3weeks and have fully opened thier eyes and talk alot to each other too! They have just started to leave the bed and walk about (wobbling).

I have a few questions i wanted to ask and who better to ask than u savvy bunch lolllllll!

how and at what age can i tell what sex they are?
when and should i take them to the vets? (they are perfectly healthy)
when should i expect them to start weeing and pooing everywere?
Any general advise on what to look out for or expect in the next few weeks?


many thanks in advance,
sal xx

Re: kitten update!

Congratulations they look lovely.
1) you should be able to tell what sex they are now (I sex mine at birth or shortly after - but have been known to make the odd mistake)
2)If they are healthy then they will need to visit the vet when they have their 1st vaccination at about 9 weeks old.
3)They shouldn't wee and poo everywhere if you have a couple of litter trays in prominent places- mum will show them how to use them and (apart from the odd accident) they are by nature clean little souls.
Just watch out for them getting into places they can't get out of and chewing wires (a favourite of my lot).
Enjoy the ensuing chaos- it's over far too quickly

Re: kitten update!

lol I sexed mine when I got her from the mum and decided she was a girl....which shows how little experience I have with kitties beause 2 months later my 16 year old daughter yelled down the stairs ' MUMMMMM...Tilly has a *"*& lol.. which is why my lovely ginger tom has a girls name. It' so easy for the untrained eye to get it wrong, my advice to you would be if you're not 100% sure yourself ask your vet to look for you :-)
