    My baby is twelve years old now but she came to us when she was just two weeks old. I had no idea on how to care for her but thankfully my dad had grown up with lots of pets and was able to help me with her care. Nursing her took my whole summer before starting high school but I’m so glad I did it. Also I didn’t have a heating source for her so I would lay her on my chest and put a blanket over her , it was definitely hot for me but she loved it. To this day she will still lay on my chest sometimes , it’s the cutest thing ever to me. lol

    😍😄🤩😽😻😘
    When you are petting a cat, you hear a rumbling sound coming from its throat. It is said that this sound is originally made by a mother cat and her kittens to communicate with each other. As adult cats become more relaxed, the rumbling sound they make is thought to have a soothing effect on people. This rumbling sound is a low frequency of almost 25 Hz, and it is said that sounds in the range of 20 to 25 Hz affect the parasympathetic nervous system and are effective in restoring a tired body. Listening to low frequencies also releases serotonin, which gives you a euphoric feeling, making it even more soothing. This is the reason why we feel so happy when we listen to the sound of a cat's throat rumbling.

    I've only ever fostered adult cats but I'm learning as much as I can from your book and videos to foster kittens once my current foster "graduates". So many kittens are scheduled for euthanasia in NorCal because the shelters don't have resources or volunteers to bottle feed overnight or treat URIs. I feel so helpless and I want to do my part to help.

    Hannah….I’ve got a kitten who sucks in my earlobe. Like I’m mama kitty. He purrs and purrs. Just latches on the very bottom of earlobe.
    I read about it and yes he had to be rescued ….. he had upper respiratory infection. Feral mama. He was the runt. He’s still super tiny. I bottle fed him for a month. He didn’t want to try wet food after that and I hand fed him til he got the hang of it.
    He’s all black…the size of a two month old…..finally. A hot mess. He’s been seeing vet for infection and is much better.
    His name is Hamilton aka Hammy. His brothers and sisters were all adopted. I certainly didn’t need another cat…but one that nurses on me..I just can’t give up.
    Have you ever had a kitten that does this? It’s SO sweet. I don’t mind one bit. He falls asleep…like a coma. And my ear is covered with slime!

    I was hoping you could show me a video you’ve made on How to Take care of pregnant strays! A coworker found a cat near her home and she noticed it was hungry and no one in the neighborhood had claimed it. I came by and got it as I have a second room and space to foster. I came to realize after a flea removal bath, that her stomach felt distended, her nipples pink, some engorged, and her ferocious appetite that she was in fact a she and possibly pregnant. Vet appt isn’t until a couple weeks because they’re all backed up. But I’m assuming she’s like 5weeks or so. So idk what to do. I’m afraid she’ll have them before she sees the vet.

    Hello! Question for you … I’ve been using a mini-nipple for my orphaned kitten for 2 weeks now. Bitsy was very tiny, but is finally over 6oz now, yay! (And very much Thanks to You Kitten Lady!) How do I gauge when to use the next larger nipple size? Appreciate it much! 😊💛
