My Pussy Is Breastfeeding And She Still Has The Hair Sticky And It Smells Foul. Should I Wash It?
Thursday, March 17th, 2011My little cat had a litter of five kittens ago three weeks (February 21). It handles very well for its small and is very maternal. In recent days, his fur on his chest and belly is sticky. She had such a beautiful coat, it looks like it takes more care of herself, her legs are too dirty and yet it does not go outside. Small also have the same problem and I see her wash her kittens yet. Is this normal? Should I wash them? If yes, what? Thank you for answering my questions, this is the first time I have a cat that has kittens. In fact, it's a skinny little pussy who came to me by chance (I live near a forest) and I passed. Now I want to take care of the best possible way. I already found a home for little kittens, so thank you in advance for any advice you can give me!
Try wipes for wiping babies' bottoms.
Do not wash a cat. It is against nature! Admittedly, it's a pet, but do not transform into a doll.
Cats normally do not like water should be avoided, you can simply call an vet for advice or even a pharmacy they will inform you …
person does not wash especially, the smell is crucial for the recognition between mothers and babies, wash the young and could cause them to abandon, and conversely if you wash too much pussy small may have difficulty feeding and then … However what you describe is very normal (and feet dirty and especially the small ones that worry me ..). Checks her breasts, do not you see something strange, a swollen udder too, hotter than the others, or infected (I think a mamitte)? Is it clean under the tail (risk of uterine infection)? if it does not get better or eu you see a sign of infection, the leads in a veto …. you should also take her temperature, if she has an infection she has a fever, you'll be set. @ Regina: I'm not angry not worry, this site allows foremost to learn! Finally, for my part I would hesitate to wash especially kittens, whatever may be 2 weeks they are large enough that it will not disturb the mother? I have seen terrible situations because of. @ Regina: I'm not angry not worry, this site allows foremost to learn!

I advise you to clean her nipples with serum physionnel!! Good luck to this wonderful mom and her kittens!
Phone to a vet, a foul odor is never normal. You also took the opportunity to request an appointment for castration. 5 cats, three times a year, you'll quickly exhaust the capacity of adoption of your surroundings.
Julila Hello, Do nothing for now! When the small will become more autonomy, the mother alone bathe and wash her cubs! Good day.
If you have any doubts, go to the vet with the mother and babies, perhaps because doing Is she mastitis (did she warm her breasts and around it makes it as hard plates? ). By cons, to answer your questions, and contrary to what some people said thee (do not be angry Hermeline, then I'm not really agree with you), there is no problem to wash a cat and even kittens. By cons, for the kitten you really that you feel she has confidence in you. But for that you need to prepare everything in advance: sufficient towels for wiping out the (imperative). Absolutely good heat a room (closed) at least one hour in advance. At the age of 3 weeks the kittens are quickly washed and dried in the electric dryer (soft position) they dry super fast. By cons, is essential to use a special shampoo cats.
