In the family the completion? Newborn kittens require special care.

Each cat has a litter of kittens is very individual. As a rule, the animal does not need obstetric care from the person. However, there are cases when the mother is having difficulty calving. The first kitten, the cat appears not later than one hour after the beginning of fights. The interval between the birth of each successive baby also should not exceed this time.

If delivery proceeds normally, a cat behaves calmly. So heart-rending meowing, you should be alerted. To assist in childbirth, only a qualified veterinarian. It is possible for the successful resolution of the burden of your Cat will need surgery.

Kittens are born completely helpless, blind and deaf. First steps for newborn care provides the cat. First, it removes the generic wrapper in which the baby is born, then clears his mouth and nose so the kitten was able to take the first breath. To top it off, the mother gnaws the umbilical cord that connects her with the kitten and licks his fur.
In the same way a cat does all of their calves.

First nursing occurs within a few hours after birth. Together with the breast milk the baby gets a portion of the antibodies to strengthen the immune system.
If the mother is healthy and feels fine, you care for newborn kittens at first will depend on the proper feeding of cats.

The Nursing mother needs a completely different diet than the diet to which she is accustomed. First in the menu foods high in calcium: milk, cheese, sour cream. If the cat refuses them, at least add a quarter of a tablet of calcium gluconate to every serving of food. Calcium is very important for the proper formation of limbs in newborn kittens.
In Addition, it is recommended at least once a week to mix the cat food in fish oil and add a little bone meal.

Try to give the cat cooked fish, vegetables and meat, even if she ate only "Whiskas". to Eat the cat will be at least five times a day. It is quite normal, don't try to limit the animal. Ensure that a nursing mother was always a container of water.

Unfortunately, not always the mother cat she can bring up their young. In this case, the newborn kittens will be fully in your care. Get ready, at first, to feed the kids every two or three hours. Can be used for this purpose milk infant formula. It is easier than milk, because you can always prepare the right amount of food and the mixture will not spoil. No need to buy expensive imported, from experience I know our Russian "the Kid" is not worse.

The Second question is how to feed the baby. Again from my experience I know that the bottle, even very small, will not help you. Because newborn kittens are designed to absorb food, not to lick her. And the nipple is too large for that. So pipette it will be useful more. Just type in her formula feeding and bring to the face of a kitten. In no case do not press the rubber tip. So the kid can choke. Feed the kitten until, until he will be food interest.

With a choice of poses feeding problems should arise. As a rule, newborn kittens are eating while lying on his tummy, slightly raising the muzzle.
A month after birth, kittens are completely ready to the introduction in the diet of meat food. For this purpose you can use chicken or veal boiled, milled, with the addition of a small amount of broth. However, if you want you can offer kids and raw meat. Be sure to include in the diet of curd, newborn kittens are in dire need of a constant supply of calcium for proper formation of the skeletal system. The finished feed can give a kitten from eight weeks of life.

Cat Owners, from the first minutes of life of its offspring should take care of that newborn kittens were conveniently located in a very warm place, protected from drafts. In the first two weeks of life babies, the temperature of the nest should be about 30 degrees from the third to 24 degrees.
To maintain the temperature it is best to use warmer water. No need to put a box of kittens to the heating equipment or near incandescent lamps.
While newborn kittens are not strong enough, better not to disturb them unnecessarily. If your home favorite not cope with numerous offspring, it is possible to help her to feed the kids. Everything else the cat will make itself, obeying the ancient animal instincts.
