Hi Angie,

While she would likely simply follow her kittens, it is best to leave them undisturbed. More than likely, she will move them on her own. Cats are notorious for "hiding" their kittens away. You might want to encourage the mom to move them herself by putting some food into the spare room and a cozy box with a warm blanket. However, I would let her do any moving. Congrats on the new kittens!

My cat had her kittens under my bed today. Would it be wise to move them into my spare bathroom where the door can be closed and they will not be disturbed. If, I move the mom and kittens will she still pay attention to them

Hi Ellen,

She could have some type of infection or fungus in her eye or it may have been scratched in the bushes. As for her stomach, there are a couple of possibilities, but without taking her to the vet it is impossible to know what is going on with her. It sounds like she probably really does need treatment. I would try to talk to your mom about getting her to the vet if at all possible. Good luck. I hope she feels better soon.

Hi Liz,

It sounds like they may have some type of infection with the goopy eyes. I would go ahead and take them to the vet. They likely need a round of shots anyway and the vet can diagnose them and tell you how to treat them. Without the trip to the vet, they may not survive. Particularly since the other ones have already passed.

If you are on a tight budget, call around to different vets in the area and explain your problem and ask if any work on a sliding scale or will accept payments.

Hi Baby Junior,

He may have allergies or an upper respiratory infection. I would go ahead and take him to the vet and have things such as Cat Flu ruled out just to be on the safe side. He sounds like a great cat.

Hi Natalie,

The good news is that sixteen-week-old kittens are going to be fairly easy to care for. Here are some things you should avoid:

Feeding cats people food as it can upset their digestive systems
Changing food or cat litter too rapidly. You must always transition
Making any major changes, if they can be avoided, such as moving, new people in the house and so on
Letting the kitten run loose while you are away. It is best to have a contained space for the kittens safety. Because some kittens are so rambunctious, they've been known to get tangled in or even to chew wires, for example. For the cat's safety and the protection of your home, it is best to contain the kitten.
