Hello Steemians
Here is the posting about how to take care of kittens, Let check it out!
Keeping cat puppies in the house is an exciting time, but it's not just about feeding them and cleaning them up. The way you are born to them will influence their friendly nature as they grow into adults. When you raise newborns, if all goes well, the mom who does most of the work. However, an unexpected event may still occur and you may have to take care of the offspring – for example, the mother is unable to care for them or refuses them. Will help you understand the needs of the kitten during the stages.
Part 1 Helping the mother-cat to give birth and care for the puppies (from 0 to 4 weeks)
Set up a quiet place for the delivery The cat has probably already chosen a place where it feels safe to give birth to the puppies. In any case, a large cardboard box, turn it on its side and fill it with a warm and dry cloth, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't. She tends to find a quiet and sheltered area, such as under the bed, behind the sofa, or inside the kitchen cabinet.
2 Do not disturb during labor and the first two days.
The first 48 hours are a critical period for mom to bond with her cat, so try not to disturb her. When decisions are made, the mother is curious and can come to reject them in a worst-case scenario. Once you have a close relationship with them, after four or five days, if you feel it is necessary, you can move the kittens.
3 Leave it in the dining room, water, and litter box.
The mother does not want to part with her puppies for too long during the first two weeks of life. So make sure you always have water and food easily accessible to the "nest" and, if possible, put the litter in the same room so it can stay close and can hear the cat's utensils.
4 Feed the new mother with some food
Feed the new mother with some food for the puppies at this stage requires more calories than the milk yields.
5 Make the mother clean the puppy
Make the mother clean the puppy as much as possible and her instinct to keep the nest clean once again in the place where she gave birth. Newborn kittens cannot urinate and defecate on their own, so the mother should lick their ass before and after a feed to stimulate them to empty. That way it also keeps the environment clean. Try to disturb the new family as little as possible.
