Instruction
1. Track behavior of a cat. If she gives to the weak kid as much of attention how many she and to other kittens – licks it, does not push away from herself – it is quite possible to leave it in a nest. But if mother decided that one of kids is impractical, she can ignore completely him and even to show aggression. In this case it is better to isolate a kitten.
2. Place it in heat – for example, in a box where the hot-water bottle laid by soft rags is laid. It is necessary to feed the kid often – newborns need food every two hours, kids are more senior eat slightly less often.
3. The easiest way is to feed a kitten with a ready concentrate of cat's milk. Buy in pet-shop powder which needs to be dissolved with warm boiled water according to the instruction on packing. Do not forget to get nipples from which you will feed the kid.
4. During feeding do not overturn a small animal on a back – he can choke. It is more convenient to kid to eat in a natural pose, lying on a stomach and having an emphasis for front pads. Lay the curtailed rag on knees, put a kitten and you hold a small bottle with a pacifier parallel to the line of a floor.
5. If you did not manage to get a ready concentrate and nipples, manage make-shifts. Mix the warmed-up cow's milk with egg white in a proportion 4 to 1. It is possible to use also mixes for babies. Part them, having taken waters are twice more, than it is recommended in the instruction. Instead of a pacifier use a self-made design from the plastic casing from a ball pen which put on a rubber part of the pipette with in advance pierced hole. For normal digestion the kitten has to suck – so, you should not use the syringe for feeding.
6. To check, the kitten how well eats, it is possible by means of scales. Every week he has to add about 100 grams. The full small animal does not peep, does not try to suck your fingers or a corner of a diaper. After feeding he has to fall asleep quietly.
7. In three weeks after the birth the kid needs more nourishing food. Begin to lure it small chopped egg, children's canned meat or the boiled and turned via the meat grinder chicken meat. You watch a chair – at normal digestion it happens twice a day. If at a kitten the diarrhea is observed, for a while stop a feeding up and dilute dairy mix in weaker concentration.
8. The kittens receiving artificial nutrition can have problems with defecation, especially if mother does not lick them. Help the kid – wet a diaper corner warm water and softly mass a paunch and a back part of a kitten, stimulating digestion and a chair.
