Mizeily, first of all, why do you want to vaccine them at the age of 5 weeks (1 month 1 week) ?

A normal kitten will be vaccine when they are 8 weeks (2 months old). They must be in good health, and good body weight.

A kitten that is born without mother (orphan) since born which means they never tasted mother milk will be vaccine at age of 6 weeks. This is call "Temporary vaccination for kittens". But this vaccine, most people will not do it. because nobody knows about it. even the vet didnt mention the full structure of how vaccine should be done. in other ways, its rarely happened.

One of Vaccination failure is: The Cat is Too Young or is Unhealthy - It is essential that the cat have a functional immune system in order to respond to the vaccine challenge. If the immune system is very immature, such as a very young animal, or if the patient has a disease which is suppressing the immune system, the vaccine will have little or no effect in stimulating immunity. If the patient has a fever, the immune system will be so "occupied" with the fever that it will respond poorly to the vaccine.

if i were you, i will still wait till 8 weeks come. while waiting, always remember to deworm them, because deworm start at the age of 6 weeks , 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and follow by every 3/6 months a year.

then you can vaccine the kittens together with their mom. since mommy is also there, why not vaccine her too later own.

other cats that already completed full vaccine for the first year will have less effect on non vaccine cat. unless that vaccine have not complete everything then its very easy to "berjangkit".

always make sure they are clean and their place is clean too

yaiks the mom still outdoor cat ah?!?!?! the very high percentage of getting infected eheheh... i thought all your cats are fully indoor.

yes, a mom that never deworm, when the kitten suckling her for milk, worm can go into the kitten via the nipples.

all cats will have worms. outdoor cat will carry more than indoor cat.

when u said the mother go outside the house ... the only thing that worry me she's getting pregnant again female cat can get pregnant again after labor

if you see the kitten start chewing or eating kibbles, now they only need less milk. go get kitten food... and maybe petshop pet milk for supplement. mother can rest by now.. and spay her please. else more kittens will come

yaiks!!! mating again!!! too bad, she may be pregnant again... and maybe not yet.

u do not have to wait for more time, since the kitten can already eat by them self... just make sure it is kitten kibbles.

spay spay spay the mother

yea you cannot get rid the nature just like human also, activity such as "putting your finger in the nose" eheheh u cannot get rid of that, that is nature of us..

same like cat also, u cannot get rid of climbing, scratching, etc.

p/s cat love high places

No lah, if frontline is too dangerous, it will be BAN forever

sorry the one i used is HARTZ spray type... they are good too.. but that time, hartz do not have spot on in kl yet... so then i found frontline spot on, i stop using the spray.

i bet spot on is the same with spray too...

p/s aren't hartz for cat is green in color? hartz website showing green for cat, while purple for dogs.

hehehe... toilet or litter? if toilet i cannot help.. because all my cats using litter box

its can be sign of anything. almost all insect parasites and even parasites leaving itchy skin, red spot on skin, and falling fur.

even if a person said "my cat is free from all types of parasites"... i never believe that person eheheh...

if your cat living in a quarantine box room with glass window with no holes on the wall, then i will believe eheheh..

even mosquitoes bite can bring parasites on your cat. so it is impossible to be free from all of that thing right.

even my cats still have mites.

maybe u can try frontline spot on, since it is waterproof and last longer on cat body. it 1 pack has 3 tubes, u can apply like 3 times a year on your cat for protection against it.

i know how u feel when looking your cat itchy, even myself get paranoid and out of the blue im scratching myself like a cat with no reason LOL...

asieeyyy long time no see laa... sombong sudah

congratulation and sorry for your new kittens..

yes a mother can even get pregnant and on heat 24 hours after labor. "nafsu binatang kan" ehehehe

the only thing u can do it to quarantine her and her kittens for like about 1 month plus. don't let her go out, else 99.99% chances of pregnancy occur again. and that will be so sad.

some female cat that get pregnancy after few days/weeks of labor won't live long.. because of the stress, and body condition. oh well, put it this way, the cat baru saja beranak, then mengandung lagi, everything inside such as peranakan, etc is not build well. this will lead to miscarriage.

i ever saw people helping pregnant stray. when the labor finish, they keep for like 10 days, then spay the mother. and they will bottle feed the kittens.

if i have my own house, i will build this kind of toilet for the cats in their room.. by using my own bathroom now which attach to the toilet, i don't think my cats will like that because mine will always be wet floor..

i wonder if we have to demo to the cats on how to seat on that toilet LOL

maid will end up poop and pee in the litter kwitter as well .. LOL

you try the hartz spot on, and let me know ya..

SKY: me also want, i want i want!

leopard skinned cat? a domestic cat with that coat pattern is it? then its bengal... (have to see the body type aswell, because some cross breed with bengal can also produce spotted coat).

eheheh Hitam oh hitam... why so naughty sampai rosak kan astro... wah birthday next month lah ye

oren i wish you recover 100% soon

p/s to all the cat, give spidergirl a break, she need rest for awhile

errrkk wild cats...

ehehehe invisible lor

eerrkk senang je your case ni. sama ada you prefer to have unwanted kittens or prefer to stop your female cat from breeding again. are you willing to have and care for more kittens? if no, then you must take action now, before terlanjur and you end up tak dapat jaga dan kittern terabai.

so hard to tell... u need to make your own research else go to vet.

u can easily determine their sound into like, attention meow, calling meow, pain meow, horny meow, angry meow, bothering meow, etc.

if it is pain, u can see via their action too.. like vomit, sleep all the time, seat and hug their own body, hard to run, hard to walk..

if it is a new kitten, and a lone ranger, than its normal lah they afraid of something thats why they making loud sound. they make sound if boring too.. like no friends. oh well, kitten like to be in group, but when they are getting older, they become territory.

yea sound like attention meow with alil bit bad mood meow.

kitten/cat yang bosan always create all this thing to have attention...

what do you mean "hard to drink water"? your kitten kurang minum air? if yes, u better bring check up.. now im feeling he/she having urine system problem. lack of water can cause alot of thing, because cat eats kibbles. he/she may get bladder stone (crystal dalam saluran kencing), and the worst killer is kidney problem.

not to scare you off, but yet i still recommend to have a check up at the vet, before something wrong happen. at least you know and do something rather than leave the kitten suffer (if he/she sick lah kan). if vet said 100% healthy then kurang lah rasa curiga and your kitten sure be happy to have owner bring them for regular check up.

p/s kucing yang rasa kurang selesa or something wrong with them, will also CALLING for attention. As if he/she is trying to tell you something about them. like my cat long time ago, meowing non stop, and one day i spot him in the litter box berbunyi bising, pergi vet, rupa nya ada bladder stone in early stage. lucky me, lucky him, we manage to go to the vet waktu kesakitan dia at early stage = cheaper lah dari kalau penyakit tu dah serious.

a'ah ada kesakitan, stress, frust, haru biru, jiwa kacau, makan tak kenyang mandi tak basah... terlebih sudaa!

very hard to tell how much they should drink a day. but pee 3-4 times a day is good enough. rather just pee one time. u can easily see how much they pee by looking at when the litter clay clump.

milk? how old is your kitten anyway? milk can cause diarrhea so becareful.

if u provide kitten food such as royal canin baby cat, skip that milk...
