grazie a voi per i bellissimi e utilissimi video..

I actually have a cat who had kittens while she was still a kitten! She was found at around 9 months, heavily pregnant, and was immediately rushed to a vet. She required surgery in order to survive the labour, and as a result of the pregnancy, her growth was stunted, but she survived and is thriving to this day! :)
o.O
My cat had a distinct smell to her when she gave birth and so did her new kittens. I thought it could be her colostrum, but through the years after that (even after she was spayed and my kitten is now an adult) I would sometimes catch a rare whiff of it on them and I’d ask them why they smell “baby”. The papa cat never has it though. And it’s such a pleasant smell
Really!!!! It sounds rather strange to me.........
Isn't it funny that certain scents will bring back memories? There is a certain scent that will remind me of my grandpa and grandma's snack bar that they ran next to their pool. It was a beautiful lunch counter built of hardwood and there were about ten or twelve red upholstered stools for the customers.
Imagine being a girl and having *14* brothers oh my god
Right?! 😹
No.
And eventually they would want to mate with you too. Gross right
o.o no. No. No. No.
What does the horror of that have to do with being a girl? Are you saying it wouldn't suck for a boy to have 14 brothers?
That’s why kittens that are separated from their mothers too early would have distended butt holes, because they’re constipated.
I also notice a difference in behavior between cats that grew up with their mothers and cats that were separated too young.
Yes, if kittens are separated from the mother too young, there are consequences. 😿
Yes, they are super clingy!
Where i live the general consensus is to wait until the mother stops breaat feeding
Luckily I had a dog who would lick her to get her to go to the bathroom
@@ThePurringJournal One time when I was at the humane society a few years ago I saw a orange kitty that was in a cage away from the other cats and I opened it to say hi and held it like you would normally hold a kitten and it started to get into the feeding the baby position and I was like okay and I kid you not it was searching around for the nipple and started licking at my clothes right there I was like yeah this one was definitely taken from the mom too soon it's trying to nurse on me
We always called kneading "making muffins" as I grew up. That was 30ish years ago. Lol
Awww, that's cute! 😺
I always call it making biscuits.
I always called it pumping. They pump their own milk from Mommy
I didn't know they're born blind and deaf. And I didn't know all kittens are born with blue eyes. No wonder, I've noticed that. Good things to know.
Pretty neat, right? 😸
I've watched my cat raise kittens in the last few months plus I have always enjoyed learning about cats and their babies so I've known this my whole life and puppies are the same way
Baby skunks are also called kits?
If you're giving a cat a flea bath, wash around the neck with soapy water first. Fleas always head for higher ground when they're getting wet and the soap will create a barrier to them, so it's easier to get most of them . They will drown in soapy water. Then use a flea comb to get any that are on the head and face. Some cats can get allergies to flea bites. We had a cat that would get huge raw areas on her skin that oozed if she was bitten by fleas, much worse reaction than just an itchy spot on the skin. The vet said she was extremely allergic to fleas so we put flea and tick meds on her every summer even though she didn't go outside. You can bring fleas and their eggs into the house on your shoes. We had to be very careful about fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, Angora cats have a tendency to react strongly to any kind of bites.
When my Max was a small kitten, I bathed him with Dawn dishwashing liquid; his fleas fell off him in no time.
He's now a 13-year-old, 23-pound fat cat.
23 pounds??? Tf u feed your cats honey buns
@@RaunchyRoger007Sorry to tell you, but my Max passed away this past December. He had mouth cancer and had to be helped across Rainbow Bridge. I still miss him. 😿🙏🌈🌉
Dawn commercials featured people washing down baby ducks that had been caught in an oil spill. I remember watching them.
Several of these things apply to all mammals, including humans.
I was thinking the same thing.
Curious what is the similarities? R we all born with blue eyes? I almost feel like that works for most ppl
@@kylealexander7024 a lot of us are born with gray eyes too. So maybe not always blue, but I think a lot of us are born with light eyes
Most of these facts I didn't know so thank you
We're glad you learned new things about kittens! 😺
Thanks for the info. It was well put together and very cute.
You're welcome. Glad you liked it! 😸
My cat was born with blue eyes. The only difference between him and other cats is he keeps the blue color. He’s a ragdoll.
My mom and I rescued a throwaway blue & cream tortie who had been declawed. And her 2 kittens (that we know of). Male was a blue boy we named Eeyore bc of his color. The little girl I forget what itcwas bt rather generic. Mama we called Dusty. She loved my mom.
What cracked me up was when the kittens played typical kitten bouncy play, mom's reaction was: "Them's not kittens! Them's little cats!"
She learned a lot during that rescue, but as I'd raised kittens before, I already knew it.
Someone I knew was going to get a kitten from a certain person, but the entire litter died because of fleas. It was heartbreaking and infuriating all at once.
Awww, that's so sad. 😭😿
Sounds like whomever had the mother cat wasn't taking proper care of the litter. :(

Hi, it's Riki. just found you from discord, what a cute channel. Looking forward to watching more when I have some downtime.
Welcome to our cat-loving community. 😺
Flea Anemia is no joke, when I was younger (10+ years ago) we came across an abandoned kitten (I named him Chip) that was infested. Unfortunately, though we tried saving him, he passed away the next day. More recently we came across a pair of kittens that had fleas (not as bad as 'Chip' did) and after a quick vet phone call, we took snips of my adult cat's Seresto flea collar (note: Seresto collars have a 8 month usage, and at the time this happened, the collar we snipped was already on my cat for 6 months) attached them to the outside of some kitten collars, and put them on the kittens. Within a few hours both kittens were flea free and survived. Both 'Biscuit' and 'Bobby' both are now happy and healthy 1 year old neutered males, living with my friend's parents (their forever home).
@Stephanie Silverfield
I’m sorry Chip passed away! It’s never easy losing a loved one. Especially when their furry. But you should feel proud. Knowing you helped 2 more kittens. Especially knowing you found them their fur-rever home. Thank you! You are a good and inspirational person. And I admire and respect you! 😊
It wasn't something that I chose but I always had male cats all my life and finally when my last male cat made his journey to the other side I thought it was time to switch up and get a female now all my cats were very loving and affectionate My last one was like a velcro never when I was at home could I be by myself anyways I went out to my humane society and adopted a female cat for the first time in my life she is special and wonderful but as far as affection goes I've never had a cat so unaffectionate... Nevertheless I know she loves me 😻
There you are, not a theory All I can tell you is all my males were as loving as can be ❤️
Ruth I feel the same way that's why I don't want a female! Males seem more loving than females are! Males also like to be assigned tasks which help us!
How loving a cat is is dependent on their personality, not their sex. I've had very affectionate females over the years, and many non-affectionate males, so it goes both ways.
My current cat is female and she's a love bug.
May your deceased cats rest in peace.
@@ragingraichu219 You're right just recently adopted a female cat that's 8 years old & All I can say is she's another velcro... She's an absolute love bug & very rarely ever leaves my side
I've always hated a favoritism thing. But I entertained it enough to see if there was any truths to it. I mean not actively always acting things out but just paying more attention to reactions. I mean, males and females are built differently. But I observe it in pets more bc 🤷🏻♀️I just get bored. Trying to figure what they're thinking by how they react bc u know? They can't really speak to us. My hubby tried doing the favoritism thing w/ all the boy guinea pigs. His dog, to me, is his dog. This little kitten we just rescued, he's already claiming. ,,, but I def all animals know the difference and sense the difference in males vs females. No matter what dynamics he thought he was gonna manipulate w/ the piggies those boys will just always be boys. Though it'd be absolutely more helpful if he kept all their belongings in there so they wouldn't fight as much. Ud think he learn. His ended up being the runt. He did eventually grow. But like daddy, he still learns everything the hard way... my fellas, they're forever getting into it and turning on each other. The 1 that's ironically more chill - w/ humans is my eldest. But hes more of a mommas boy 😊. But ohhhh he's a mean 1 to the others. Lacey, our pitt, he thinks she favors me. He spends more time w/ her. I just do basic things w/ her. I'm just more distant. I'd say I just think she picks up on his temper tantrums and mood swings. I tell him he acts worse than a teen girl pmsing sometimes. He's gotta lot of issues... :/ even the dog picks up on that bc who doesn't? I mean, I think she's a sweetie. & she knows I'm the not as easily ill tempered. But 🤔🤷🏻♀️ he claimed her. He's way more active and lovey dovey towards her than me. I'm not mean to her. I just dont like her smothering me all the time. As for the kitty, I guess he found something brand new and Shiney he can smother. 🤷🏻♀️but she's a baby, she'll love anyone nice to her. Honestly, honestly all animals wuv me. So it doesn't always phase me that much when they show affections. Unless it's just an animal I'm not used to. Then there's him: I'm like the God of Google search. Move over all vets. I know better than u bc I go by my emos and my emos are plenty passionate enough. Therefore i have all the right answers. And if else fails blame the wife
Thanks so much for all of this great information about kittens!! ❤️❤️❤️
Immunity from mum - pretty standard function of all mammals including us !

Thank you! It just proves that cats really do rule the internet. 😹
I was under the impression that when a cat kneads (other than it's mother's teat) it was marking/laying claim to it's possession/territory, because it has scent glands in it's feet. My cat frequently kneads the tops of my feet - when I'm wearing slippers thankfully, because claws are used - but he only does it when I'm wearing moccasin style slippers, which happen to be made of suede.
I found the entire video interesting. I’m a cat addict.
Then you've come to the right channel, because we're all cat addicts! 😻
Me too.
Such awesome purring!
Thank you for this..I definitely didn’t know that kittens could have kittens🙀!! Good luck and keep on the good work😊
Yes, isn't that crazy to think about? 🙀 And thank you. 😺
It makes sense to me- human females can become pregnant even at young ages like 11 years old if they are r*ped. The youngest human mother was 5 or 6 somehow. And all those ages are considered children. So why wouldn't it be the same for cats? And cats don't have a human sense of morality, the female goes into heat and the males are automatically interested in her regardless of her age, so if anything it's surprising it's not more common. But I'm glad it's not- they should be able to enjoy kittenhood and achieve full growth before having to give birth. I imagine giving birth at a young age is risky for cats just like it is for humans.
I read somewhere that roaches are born pregnant, so I guess they're winning that race
Kittens are weaponized cuteness. Cuteness cranked to 11. : )
There is a flea medication that can be given to kittens under eight weeks old. It's called Capstar; and has been around for years. Thing is, it's only effective for twenty-four hours; so the kittens have to take another pill every day (if it's being used as a repellent); plus it's pretty expensive. So it's much easier to get the kittens de-flead, then keep them protected indoors (along with the mother) in a flea-free environment. Short of that, you can use Dawn dishwashing liquid to get rid of the fleas; but it has no residual effect at all (i.e., it only kills/gets rid of the fleas that are on the kittens and/or mother cat at the time of the bath). You also can't give the mother cat conventional flea treatments; because whatever is on her skin/in her bloodstream will be transferred to the kittens as they nurse; so getting rid of the little buggers once and for all, unfortunately (given that cats and kittens should be bathed sparingly) can be a little complicated. :-\
Younger kittens are so delicate. Ours showed up in our backyard (someone likely dropped him off-wouldn't be the first time, where we live) at around six weeks of age. He was so tiny he could practically fit in my husband's palm, Looking back he probably wasn't even yet weaned; however someone just abandoned him to fend for himself. :( I don't know how people can bring themselves to do that to a tiny, helpless animal. He was skittish at first; but took to my husband quickly, especially after he'd received a few meals in his tum-tum! 😻 (so we knew he was likely socialized as a baby, not born to a feral mom). He's since been bathed (he was extremely well-behaved!), and to the veterinarian (FeLV/FIV test negative; FVRCP vaccinated, along with Revolution Plus to help get rid of his ear mites). He'll be about four months old (and 5+ lbs!) when he goes for his scheduled neuter surgery later this month. In the meantime he's keeping our three older girl kitties (two siblings age thirteen; and one going to be sixteen in March) on their toes, because he always wants to play but they're not interested, lol.
Anyway, thanks for this video-it was most timely. Most of the information I already knew; but it never hurts to have a 'refresher' every once in a while.
Keep up the great work.
I knew all these facts so I guess I'm kitten obsessed
The feeding about the sugar level and how many times the kitten needs to get fed
They need to be fed two to three times. Please pay attention
kittens are my fav animal
When superfecundation happens with a human mother I imagine it could be a little awkward when they find out...
Wouldn't that have to have been a three-way?
Those facts are amazing!
Both my cats woke up to the sound of the microwave... They are always ready for food!
I've been fostering for years and I haven't had any kittens with blue eyes past 7 weeks unless they are siamese mix.
I have a 3+ year old cat who still gets called baby kitten.
Love your show

I think mother nature need to readjust us.
Why the hell do we females have to deal with a body that is fertile before our minds mature? and yet our clock starts ticking loud around age 35 when we finally figure out what we want in life.
It’s almost unfair.
You are SOOOOOO right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some readjustments need to happen!
Too bad, so sad. Teach your children to start young and not make the same mistakes you did.
Epic facts could you do a video on devon rex its a really interesting cat breed
Btw love the cat jokes
#3 is pretty universal to most mammals. Even we do it. It's the reason the nurses insist you breast feed often the first 48 hours.
Yes, it cleans out the *meconium.*

Man, my cat once had 10 kittens and it was ridiculous to keep track of them. The interesting thing was that ALL of them were tuxedos. So I’m pretty sure my cat actually stayed with the same male which I think is neat because not a lot of cats do that
Beautiful. 😻😻😻😻😻😻♥️
My kitty is 8 months old and she is a calico cat
I have always loved cats.I knew alot of these facts. I knew them fostering a couple of litters or kittens and volunteering cat rescue. They are very interesting facts.
The funny thing is that my cats loves your show they don't pay no mind to any other TV show or UA-cam videos accept your videos. They could be sleeping and here your videos playing and they get up and I'm like okay they must love those videos a lot.
We all call their kneading here in the South, making biscuits ❤❤❤. 11 sweet, spoiled fur babies own me. I'm their slave. Lol. They are all shelter adopted and the bestest fur babies in the world ❤❤❤❤❤

Just gt a kitten. Man the energy is thru the roof! This is nt easy. Super lovable 💖 tho
I love cats
I love mine!
Actually I heard recently there's an exception to that blue-eyed kitten rule Russian blues do not have blue eyes as babies
So true. I have a Russian Blue.
Be careful if you don't have mommy milk . I left for a sleepover as a teenager. I had taken on a job of trying to keep kittens thrown in a bush. I lost 2 early. But 2 were doing good. I fed them every few hours and kept them warm. Trusted my family with instructions. By the time i got home the weaker of the 2 was dead.
The vet said they were too tiny. Its impossible. I used an eyedropper and milk for kittens. When my brother brought them home from a walk. We really didn't even know what they were. Yep quiet and tiny almost the size of a hamster maybe. Closed eyes.
Well in the end that one last kitten survived, but only because i was so careful. She got huge. Became an indoor out door cat. One night she didn't come home. I yelled
And took a flash light out to look. I saw shining eyes
Lots of them. My cat in front of about 10 carts in a triangle formation as they ran. What the heck? My baby was the leader of the pack.lol
Weird story.
Flea anemia can occur in adults cats too. Though it is rare. I had one tuxedo cat that died from it. It didn't seem to make any difference what I did to get rid of them. The flea collars didn't stop them. They just sucked him dry. 😥
I had a 10 year old cat that had flea anemia. My cat was indoors, and we was giving our flea infested dog a flea bath, and our home got infested bad when we brought the dog inside the house to bathe him. I took our cat to the veterinarian, and they dipped him in anti flea stuff. Kept him overnight with an IV. I had to clean the house top to bottom, wash everything the cat laid, then spray with a veterinarian approved flea spray. Vacuumed every day, threw the bags out daily. Never had a flea problem this cat’s whole life, nor the dog, till our crazy neighbor infested our yard with sand bags he brought to his home from the bad 1993 Midwest flood. Those bags of sand were infested with fleas, so our neighbor infested the whole neighborhood! 😡 Cost us a lot of money to get rid of the fleas out of our yard and home!

Only one I didn't know about was the last one.
I knew a lot of these, but not all of them. I did know that kittens can have kittens though. When I was a kid, my mom brought home a tiny orange tabby one day. She was still very small and probably only about four months old when my older brother found her pregnant. Sadly, she wasn't big enough to carry the kittens and they were all stillborn. At least we found her in time and were able to get her to a vet safely. She never grew properly after that. She was always super tiny, but also fat. She was happy and healthy though. She lived to be 19 years old!
@Vanessa Harkins
Oh that is so sad! I’m sorry that happened to your tabby and her kittens. Cats are such sweet gifts from God. She lived a long life too. You are fortunate to have had her in your life. 🙂
Wow there are so many similarities between kittens and human newborns.

6:26 - The headline says it's a "one-in-a-million" chance; but then the article (lower down) says 1 in 13,000 ... Big difference, there; plus one in thirteen thousand isn't really /that/ rare. I've never heard about anything like that happening before. So, which is it?

You know when I first saw a cat kneading I thought they were exercising! I mean it could also be the way they exercise and work out, right?
Oddly enough my long hair kneads only using her back paws.

We share 80% of our DNA w cats, and dogs, little furry info. We serve the fur !
I don't see why it would be extraordinary or unexpected that there could be more than one father of a single litter. It's not like any single kitten has 2 fathers. Now THAT would be something. But of course multiple eggs are going to be fertilized by multiple sperm and there's no reason they all need come from the same male cat. This would be the case for any living thing that gives birth and may ever have more than one offspring at a time.
WD-40 is also good for killing fleas
Kittens being born with blue eyes.
I also Hurd if a kitten younger than a year gets pregnant it can be dangerous for the pregnant cat
