@Watcher, LOL Right? Flat out, front paws down, just precious!

hi do you like cats try to see my video

[@amirabannour2380]

Ooh my ❤️ yes, this is too adorable

[@CicePiggy93]

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

[@justjess6636]

This is such a wholesome story :)

[@saeromissie.]

That's so sweet omg 😭😭

[@cutejapanesecatsandanimals5338]

😍😄🤩😽😻😘 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 It is said that this sound is originally made by a mother cat and her kittens to communicate with each other.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.

[@Persephone0110]

Proof once again that cats are healing 🐱🐈🐈‍⬛💗💓💖

[@ellisclements6266]

The rumbling sound is called ‘purring’

[@NinjaKittyBonks]

Is there anything cuter than lil' kitten ears wiggling as they nurse? [if not, than it is some other thing kittens do!]

[@chaosengine4597]

no.

[@jagoldenpyrenees491]

Yes, tiny puppy ears vibrating and their expression of wonder when they hear your voice for the first time 🤭🥰

[@NinjaKittyBonks]

@@jagoldenpyrenees491 ... I have not seen puppies do the ear wiggle when nursing, but it makes sense :) There is just something about the incredible innocence of such a young creature. Be it human, dog, cat, cow, sheep or pretty much anything that has less than 6 legs.... lol, has that look of wonder and typically fearless "hey, let's play" thing going on. I don't know what we would do without the opportunity to share our world with little fuzzy creatures that sleep on our lap

[@jagoldenpyrenees491]

@@NinjaKittyBonks They don't wiggle their ears when nursing like kittens but when their ear canals first open and they can finally hear you talking to them. They sort of quiver; it's one of my absolute favorite parts of raising puppies 💓 Baby goats wagging their tails while nursing is also beyond adorable 🤭

[@NinjaKittyBonks]

@@jagoldenpyrenees491 ... Looks like were quibbling over quivering... lol :) There is just something about that innocence and then entrusting oneself with such honor as doing right by such a vulnerable little creature. To think that two species so different as a dog / cat / human can find such a bond and have absolute trust is truly a gift

Your previous bottle feeding videos helped me out SO MUCH when I took care of an orphaned kitten. I had zero experience bottle feeding and was so terrified to do it wrong, but your videos and website were there to guide me. Thank you so much for your dedication at helping people help kittens! ❤️

Same!! Kitten Lady videos gave me the best crash course in kitten care! 😊

[@dmdm528]

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost one of the cats I help take care of a few weeks ago. It is heartbreaking. The only thing that gives me some comfort is that she is resting now and she will always be with me in memory.

could you do a video on how to convince your parents to let you foster? ive been trying since 2020 in quarantine :( ive read your book and done a lot of research and i feel ready. my parents dont like cats which is why i cant foster :( love your work and videos!!!! i hope Fergie is doing well!!!💞

[@JinMelancholy]

you should sit down with them and tell them that fostering is temporary and that you want to learn more about responsibility and it would only take your room to foster kittens :) worked with my parents that way, they didn't fully agree but they said do whatever you want just don't let us see or hear them

[@dearcupid.]

Im sure that there are lots of videos of how to convince your parents. i think it would be difficult because they don't like cats but hey, i convinced my mum to let me have a dog so im sure you can do it too!

[@DreadlockSoldier]

Get new parents? Or just wait until you are 18 and then they can't say anything.

[@aacn08]

@@DreadlockSoldier yeah i’m waiting to grow up and move out but i would never get new parents lol they said i can do whatever i want when i grow up and move out

Oh my god!! Thank you for creating this video 🙏 I have a 9 day old kitten that was abandoned by mom and struggling to feed her. I felt so defeated after loosing 3 kittens already. I definitely felt guilty that I could of cause their passing 😢 1 kitty is all I have and I am determined to keep this baby girl healthy.. I’ve taken her to vet already and have another appointment early march… Again THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@benjisammykitties]

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.

[@lucyfarrell8866]

You’re doing your part!! Fostering adult cats is an amazing help as well and you should be proud❤️❤️

[@benjisammykitties]

@@lucyfarrell8866 thank you! After my last foster went to his furever home, I'm fostering a pair of kittens now. Their mom was TNR'ed, so they are weaned, but still I have so much to learn.

[@patriciafoster3347]

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!

[@ms.stephy5621]

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! 😊💛

It’s 11 pm and all the shops were closing and traffic was clear. I was just out door dashing, and saw a kitten on the side of the road. I didn’t see the mother anywhere, and it was in a busy part of the city. So I couldn’t just leave the kitten there alone.

Please help.. I found a kitten, yesterday, it looks to be about 3 wks old. He won't suckle the bottle and is only taking about 2to3 ml of milk every 2 hours via syringe, and he has not peed or pooped since I had him since 10 am yesterday morning.

Where to buy this bottle?

[@LanceRomanceF4E]

Single retired vet here freaking out with two eight week old abandoned kittens. My neighbors daughter bottle fed them for the past four weeks before giving them to me to raise as house cats. I never had a pet, on the road too much, and now I’m afraid to let them out of their cage. I have a loft with a balcony in my living room and it’s a twelve foot drop to a hardwood floor. Would kittens jump from there? Or fall off while playing? At what point can I let them go upstairs?
