Just look at the kitties for two weeks with minimal grabbing, you can cuddle after that. You can sit by Sakura and gently touch them once in a while. This is a time for space, just pet Sakura if she comes to you. Watch Kitten Lady. When you see people on video handling infants its because they are rescuers and there is no mama. It requires special care. Let nature do its thing.

Joey just an FYI as Kittens they can't keep themselves warm. So when you take them away from mom they need a way to keep warm. Edit: There is an amazing KZbin channel called Kitten Lady and she takes care of new born Kittens. Edit 2: For those of us with a Twitter/Instagram account we should msg him.

Little kittens can’t regulate their own temperature. They rely on their mother to stay warm, that’s why she’s taking them near her :)

[@mrsnolan01]

As many comments everyone keeps telling him I realize he doesn't care at all its so sad and sorry but to me is so extremely selfish of him to not care and listen.

[@khamila6447]

mrsnolan01 he just wants to handle his kittens his way, which you should respect he also has thousands of people commenting on his videos , he can’t read them all

[@JoKinhas694]

mrsnolan01 I’m sure he means no harm to them, I believe he just doesn’t know how diferente kittens are from poppies. My comment was just to inform, and I know he probably will not see it but I’ve done my part on sharing some knowledge ☺️ the kittens seem well that’s all that matters!

[@NickUncommon]

Babies that young cant regulate their own body temp, so they need to be in a pile and with mom. So not touching them, and letting mom give the clues when to touch them is the best way to go. Babies that young only poop and pee if mom helps them, and she eats their waste, that is normal untill they open their eyes and get more mobile. Maybe you really should take Sakura to a vet, so there she can be checked how old she is and if she is healthy.

[@-.-Mochi-.-]

Baby kittens struggle with keeping warm since they hardly produce body heat. Even though the kitten was on you, I think Sakura was concerned and took them back to be in the cuddle puddle where the kitten would stay warm and safe!

[@jojo-he5gj]

Joey please don’t continue to put them in a bed away from their mom or cuddle them individually. Yes they’re adorable but to save Sakura from stress and anxiety, keep them where she leaves them. Otherwise she will move them to another spot in the room, it’s better to leave her alone and let her relax. I wouldn’t risk her hissing at you or even swiping lol. Cuddling them individually can be dangerous because they need warmth! Sakura’s a smart momma. She will be okay! Once they are bigger you can give them some love and cuddles.

[@raaniababar719]

My cat would let me take her cats and i think it was because the mom was Sieme cat but maybee not

[@sashamaksimovic6721]

Please read this! The kittens need to be left alone for 2 weeks they’re only 2-4 days old and their organs are super sensitive, not to mention the fact that they can’t regulate their own body temperature. So imagine your in a warm,comfortable place that you feel safe in. Suddenly you’re pulled into a freezing, terrifying situation where you can’t see and all you can do is call for help. This is basically what the kittens are doing and why Sakura is so anxious. I noticed when she was ‘cuddling’ with you Sakura was constantly sniffing the kitten scent on you. People have mentioned this before but if a mother suspects something wrong with a kitten say from scent or a distorted feature ‘say you moved a bone or cut an organ ‘ she will abandon or kill her kitten. It’s obvious that Sakura trusts you a lot because most mother cats would attack you and leave harmful wounds if you would go near the babies. I’m afraid that you’re going to get attacked by Sakura and get rid of her or put her down for being ‘aggressive’ when it’s just instinct. Just wanted to add that for one of your favourites ‘the black with the white stripe’ in pretty sure that kitten is grey and white, I think this just because he reminds me a lot of my cat ( look at profile if needed ) who people thought was black and white when he was actually grey. Hoping you pick that one as it is a mini version of mine but I’m afraid if you keep on handling the kittens like this they’re going to get killed or die from stress. Just a reminder to make sure you know what you’re doing, these kittens lives shouldn’t be in your hands for the first two weeks. Occasional petting is ok but taking them away and showing them off really isn’t. Hope you see this but if you don’t others can spread the message.... Thanks ❤️

Joey I know that you've probably done a lot of research since you got Sakura, but I also suggest you look into the KZbinr Kitten Lady. She's a professional kitten rescuer, and she has a lot of information on how to properly care for newborn kittens. Though she normally rescues orphan kittens, I think a lot of the info she gives can help you too in assisting Sakura in taking care of her babies. :)

Joey, honey! Please, please take these comments to heart! We all love and adore you so much and Sakura and the kittens are so precious to us as well. We just want you to know how so very dangerous it is for you to be handling the kittens at all right now. We love your updates about them, but please don't handle them anymore at least until they open their sweet little eyes. We would all be so heartbroken for you and the kitties if something were to happen. Trust me, I know how hard it is to have to wait, I've been there before too, but the time will come where you can put them on the floor and play with them altogether! It'll happen too fast actually! Just like with Ms. Lark's puppies! Time flies! :)

Because it’s basically dangerous for the kitten to be alone. They need to be warm and their coat is too thin for them to be alone. She’s doing what they would in the wild, they was also screaming because they needed food. They’re completely different from dogs.

Omg when Joey had the kitten on him I was thinking "Uh Joey, I really wouldn't do that" ...just cause the kitten is still so young, they aren't like puppies ..the Mother isn't going to allow you to take her kittens away from her until they're old enough to actually walk. Joey just look at them from afar til they get a little bit older, they're still so fragile & need this time to bond with their mother without her stressing out. 👌🥰

[@dayna29866]

I understand he doesn't know better cause Joey's got a heart and he's trying to mimic what he did with the puppies but this is a whole different ball game..kittens are a whole lot more delicate & the mother is way more protective of her kittens at such a young age. I wish for the first week he'd just look at them from afar and ignore the temptations of touching them. He shouldn't worry about favorites yet either, they won't get personalities for atleast a month 💕

[@kireinatsuki9283]

I have kittens and their mama. The mother was accidentally impregnated so we decided to keep the kittens. I’ve been caring for them since March 9th, I only touched them a week and a half later. You really shouldn’t pick them up at a young age unless they are in danger (but I highly doubt since mama would not allow that.) But they really shouldn’t be handled this young and you’re just ignoring the comments.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

Joey! - *The reasons why you should not take the kittens away from their mother are because cannot self-regulate their body temperature and you don’t want their mother to reject them. She could also end up hiding them to protect them. Kittens are not like puppies. Also, remove all plants immediately from the room they are in and make sure the toilet seat is down at all times, the plants could be toxic to Sakura and her kittens and the toilet is a dangerous place they can get into. Just as a precaution!*PLEASE do your research on kittens! Their are plenty of great youtubers, one in particular *Kitten Lady* that rescues kittens that can help you learn everything you need to. But please, stop touching them or taking them away until they can open their eyes and walk or until Sakura allows you to take them (usually when they can walk) otherwise LEAVE THEM BE! You also don’t want Sakura to get stressed out, which can happen very easily. We all just want the best for the kittens and we know you do too.

[@karenmccann8644]

I love these kinds of vlogs because animals are my heart. When animals give birth they have an automatic instinct to know what to do for their babies, how to care for them, clean them, and protect them even if it's their first birth. It's an instinct in all animals, which is far different than people. Right now Sakuras going to want her babies to be all together. If one were to stray from the litter she will go find them and bring them back. Sakura was basically taking her baby back to the litter to say Joey my babies stay all together with me right now. It would be a good idea Joey not to handle them so much. She may stop caring for them if you do that. I think they are a little different than dogs in that respect. Trust Sakura she knows what she's doing. She's a great mom. Good job mommy Sakura! ❤❤🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

I've had a lot of kittens, you really shouldn't take the kittens away from the mother even if it's just a foot or two away. You also shouldn't touch them with your hands because it leaves your scent on them and that can make the mother abandon them. I've had it happen a few times, I know it's really hard but you should keep your distance.

[@brianna5frazier]

You can touch them, but you should wash your hands really good before you do or pet them with a glove. Just for the first month or two, because like I said the mother will neglect the kitten and try not to feed it. It's quite brutal.

Kittens that young can die when not kept very warm. Having it on your person is not warm enough. They need to either be with their mommy, in a cuddle pile or on a hot water bottle/ incubator ( if they were orphans)

[@minx9554]

Deathly terrified that we might get a vlog where Joey has to explain that one of the kittens has died. With how stressed out Sakura is and how much he is moving them around- She might reject one and kill them. I'd be heart broken. He keeps picking up his favorite half faced kitten and I'm scared she might be killed because the imprint is gone. Not to mention- She is fragile & if she gets hurt this early on, the mom is more likely to eat any kittens who are "deformed" to give herself nutrients to feed the other 5. I pray that he reads these comments and looks into research.

[@brinny8965]

This is really true. I felt the same way. Don't ge me wrong Joey is super sweet and attentive. But the thing is, cats and dogs don't like their babies being man handled. I witnessed a friends cat reject a kitten once because she was picking up the baby too often. It was awful, the baby died. Joey I am sure means good but he gotta be careful. As a mom, someone I didn't know took my child out of my arms to hold her when she was 3 years old. I almost decked her. My instinct took over and I snatched my baby back and told her how I felt and to back off. Without even thinking I did all of that. I respect his attentiveness and his caring nature but sometimes you do need to let nature take over. Also, one of those plants in the room is poisonous to the cat. I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me. But I do rememeber being told about it when i had a cat. But I am sure that was not something he would have known unless told. I hope he sees the comments that are nicely telling him about all of this, and not the rage comments.

Please know that rejecting a kitten does not necessarily mean killing it. In most cases the mother will just move the kitten out of the way, also it’s not a common as you think especially for house cats. Although you are fairly correct about the eating thing Sakura will only eat her kitten if it’s already dead, she won’t kill it by eating it.

Joey, I hope you read at least some of the advice you get here. Allow me to add a bit myself. So you know, I have rescued animals for more than 20 years and those animals have included more cats than I can even remember including raising many abandoned litters. You should *never* interfere in the birthing the way you did. It's dangerous for one, but disturbing the mothers instincts while giving birth can be truly terrible. She actually turned away from one of the kittens for too long because you kept literally moving the mother's head away so that you could fiddle with a kitten who was not even fully delivered yet. It was *so* unnerving to watch. You also need to resist all this handling you are doing now. Those newborns are *far too fragile* for all of this. I was shocked to see you already taking kittens away from Mom and her nest. They are not even a day old and you are taking them from their mother. This is extremely frightening for the babies and even the up and down motion of picking them up and putting them back down can be detrimental to their lungs and heart. And Mama does not *ever* like this kind of thing. You saw that when she took the kitten from you. I would not be surprised if she moves them and tries to hide them from you. Mama clearly has a good relationship with you but she will not tolerate your continued interference, I assure you. Those kittens rely on their *MOTHER* for everything - they don't even eliminate on their own, Mama has to help them to do that. If you interrupt the rhythm a mother cat has with her litter, you could be responsible for the mother moderately or severely rejecting one of the kittens because it has been left out of that rhythm and schedule, while being handled by humans too much. Please, just *leave them alone* at least until their eyes are open and they are walking.

Let Sakura do her thing, she knows what she's doing. Of course, checking in is always good. I was always paranoid with my cat that she would accidentally suffocate one of her kittens. Just making sure that all of the kittens are alive, in a safe place, and being fed is enough right now. When my cat first had her kittens, learning to take a step back and let my cat do her thing was the hardest for me. I knew that they shouldn't be moved or touched much, I was just always worried that something would happen to them. However, cats are really smart. Don't step in or touch for for the first two weeks unless you think it's really necessary.

[@davidlivermore3178]

Every time you handle the kittens especially at this young age you are endangering them even though I’m sure that’s not your intention. Handling them individually means they can’t regulate their temperature hence why they bunch up with the litter and their mother. Their cries are of distress crying for mother (ask any vet). This also adds significant stress to the mother and can risk rejection which can lead to needing to bottle feed them constantly throughout the day or they will die. This is completely different to dogs. When they’re eyes open, you can handle them more often handling them within the view of their mother. Please keep in mind that their immune systems have not developed so you should avoid entering with unwashed hands and clothes that have been in contact with other animals particularly with animals that go outside. I know you are an animal lover but for the health and safety of the kittens, you need to restrain your urge to handle them as much as you are since you’re unintentionally endangering them every time.

Watching this makes me feel very sad and scared for the babies... :( Please pay attention to everyone in the comments. The kittens are way too young to be taken from the mother. Please do try to wait until they open their eyes, I know it's difficult. You also need to remove all of those plants from the room, as they could be toxic! There are so many unnecessary risks you're taking and stress you're putting on the mother, just to get better content for the videos. I'm very sure everyone subscribed wouldn't mind if you didn't put out as much as you did with Lark's birth in order to keep them safe. Kittens are very different from puppies.

they're recorded at least 1-3 days prior to posting, but it still needs to be said because he can't keep touching them if he wants them to be healthy and survive. he's stressing sakura out and she can end out not producing enough milk and eventually reject them, or flat out kill them like i've had a cat do when my sister wouldn't stop touching her kittens even after moving them several times to what she thought was a safe place. he needs to know that what he's doing can hurt the kittens, they're not like puppies, and even then, lark didn't like him touching the puppies at first, but because he has the trust with lark, she was more tolerable. he literally just got sakura and hasn't built up that trust yet. just because she cuddles him doesn't mean she trusts him and with him messing with the kittens, it lowers that trust to make her feel unsafe. i just want the kittens to grow up healthy and for that he needs to stop touching them for another week and a half.

[@MusaKitty]

[@justtooweird]

I've had cats all my life. You shouldn't be handling kittens that young if they do have a mother. Their eyes aren't even open yet. the rule in general is you can't handle kittens until their eyes are open and are starting to waddle out of the box. Handling them too much can give them infections. usually around 3 or 4 weeks old. if you're going to get rid of them...you cannot separate them from mom until they are eating on their own...8 weeks old or more.

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

Not true, you can handle them from the day they are born, but what you shouldn't do is be using them as props in videos to get more views =) You can handle kittens this small for a few seconds at a time, several times a day if you wish, human contact as early as possible is important for kittens.

[@pamannis7665]

That's not necessarily true, I fostered 2 kittens at 2 days old fed them and took them everywhere with me and they were just fine. We also had kittens on the farm and handled them and they were also fine. However you need to follow the mother's cues. It's probably okay to pet them in their bed with her nearby but not remove them.

Fostering may be different, but you made it sound like ANY kittens shouldn't be handled from that young, you didn't mention ANYTHING about fostering. There's a youtuber who I watch who fosters kittens for a living, and even when she has kittens with a mother cat as well, she still holds and cuddles the baby cats here and there, for longer than *a few seconds* sooo.. what's the point you're trying to get at? They'll only get infections if you don't wash your hands before you hold them, in which, i'm pretty sure he is.. i'd like to know why you didn't mention that.. because if your hands are clean, they won't get infections.

My original comment was comparing how Joey interacts with the kittens vs the puppies. Apparently it was a poor taste joke because collars and excessive handling by humans is very dangerous to kittens. I apologize for my ignorance.

[@moby325]

dogs are much much different than cats

[@umai7091]

Tiffany ok......

[@izz9702]

Tiffany, that’s very rude of you

[@bglaflamme1974]

It's not good to put collars on full grown cats so it would be REALLY bad to put it on newborns the could easily strangle them selves. The only kind of collars u can put on almost full grown-full grown cats is easy break ones so they can't strangle themselves. Especially if they r outside cats

it's too soon to get to know them joey, they need time with their mom

Marina Henriksen there his cats let him do what he wants

[@alyssamurphy7792]

@@itzblueberryhair2409 I agree but they're only a few days old... that can be detrimental to their health.. and I PERSONALLY DID THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER and my cat HID ALL OF HER KITTENS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR HOUSE away from me bcus I kept touching them so I learned my lesson lol. And I'd hate for Sukara to hide each of her kittens n that big room and Joey not be able to find them

[@alyssamurphy7792]

@@itzblueberryhair2409 they're just still only a few days old. Uou seen how sukara took the kitten off his chest she was not okay with him handling her newborn kittens. If they were like two weeks old itd be different

[@kubby6196]

The amazing Crazy cookie 1 they’re more of sakuras cats than his 2 how fucking stupid is that statement “there his cats let him do what he wants” what is “what he wants” and who’s not letting him do anything? There’s a very big difference between constructive criticism and stopping him by force, What if what he wants is against the well being of the cats? Is that still ok? Do you look at these animals as property or something? Like the amount of stupidity I just can’t, I hope you’re just a little kid.

[@SunGoddessFaith]

I hope Joey has been reading the comments on this video and on the birth video 😕 ugh he seriously needs to smh

[@VG02]

Nope, he's been ignoring them all. However, on this video, it seems ever other comment is trying to tell him what to do, so _hopefully_ he'll now take notice & listen.

[@SunGoddessFaith]

Parasomnia Yeah that’s what I’m hoping for. Everyone has such helpful and important advice, it’s a shame he’s ignoring them.

[@marisadzekute8294]

Parasomnia The videos are recorded a few days in advance. I’m sure he’s not ignoring them, as he does respond to comments in videos.

[@ribottostudio]

@@VG02 he's gonna fucking ignore it until something awful happens to a kitten....Sakura taking her kit back should be a CLEAR message to Joey.

[@ribottostudio]

@@marisadzekute8294 that's what I figure, but he could AT LEAST say something on twitter.....

[@Maddie-tc2gx]

was anyone else getting nervous when they were in the bed at the beginning.. i don’t know why but it’s making me extremely nervous for suffocation etc

[@emmahall4363]

Madzlois 3 right he should’ve put them in the middle they could actually suffocate that happens a lot with cat beds that have creases. The kittens push each other and could easily smother each-other to death

[@JinxWolf82]

They wouldn't suffocate in there unless being shoved in there. If anything to worry about, is them getting too cold without mom. Kittens that young cannot regulate their own body heat, and that they were all curled up so tight there without her there could mean they were a bit cold. They are in good hands with having their mom with them in a safe environment, and Joey here seems to be the doting Cat dad, wanting to spoil and love on mom and babies. Much to be learned, but this is a good and wonderfully adorable start! Let mom do her job until they start to open their eyes. Their growth after that is explosive!

[@carrix-44]

Madzlois 3 Omg same

I've been anxious since he's shown that bed. I really hope nothing bad happens to them in it, but it's like a disaster waiting to happen.

Motherly love

[@katrinabell5490]

ALSO STOP TAKING THEM AROUND, THEY CANNOT REGULATE HEAT AND OBVIOUSLY MOMMA IS GETTING NERVOUS WHEN YOU TOOK THEM.

[@thisisforarabbit2682]

ok ok ok

[@pilarm2809]

Katrina Bell thats very true especially if the mother hasn't known you that long or isn't that comfortable with you she may attack you

[@fancyasmr9748]

Also they can die from hurting their organs they are delicate and my friends cats all died from touching them to early !!!!!!

[@KStark-fi7qc]

I was thinking the same thing, when we had kittens up until they opened their eyes and could move around more we didn’t touch them at all we just let momma take care of them

[@kisshu1993]

I hope sakura take her kitten back will make Joey realize he shouldn't handle the kittens like the why he been doing also don't freek out when u see sakura carrying her kitten all cats do that

[@Ben-uz5of]

kisshu1993 he has helped with 2 others cat births and raised them so I think he knows how to raise kittens

[@kisshu1993]

Potato Queen Potato Queen I know that and I'm not trying to be mean but why did the thing at 6:20 or when Sakura took her kitten back he sat that it was crazy

[@vtghosted]

English please?

[@kisshu1993]

ix ZÂÏX xi never mind

[@qiuyekachemov7672]

Potato Queen if he really knows how to handle cat births, he should know not to be handling the kittens so much right now

[@savannawithoutanh5973]

This video just further reconfirms to me that Joey is kind of clueless when it comes to birthing and raising kittens. First he was extremely invasive when she was giving birth by touching her tail and babies constantly. Now he's physically taking them away from her. This behaviour puts a LOT of stress on momma kitty. He means well, but he obviously didn't properly research or prepare for this.

[@nettyspeaks]

Yes. I was so annoyed like men I think have no clue. Animals have boundaries too. He is violating them for views.

[@JenniferShaw1112]

Totally agree, I have a hard time watching since the birth vlog

[@aliceinthewonderland1104]

I think he’s used to taking care of puppies cause Lark gave birth not to long ago to 7 puppies. I’m pretty sure he did do research but maybe not enough to know the specific details. He probably thought it was like raising puppies!

[@aliceinthewonderland1104]

Cats and dogs are so different. Cats are very territorial.

[@gabriellamoore3806]

I agree I think for a video and to learn more he should watch a kitten lady video

[@sortathesame8701]

The expression on your face was so precious! I'm sure your kitten was fine with you, she just gets a bit nervous when she hears them squeak!

[@kschonhoff]

Joey: cute kitty Sakura: *steals baby back* Joey: um... not doing that again!

[@kisshu1993]

Kelila Schonhoff he most likely will

[@kimpedersen5708]

kisshu1993 thats rude

[@mysteriousmerrow]

Kim Pedersen it's the honest truth, he clearly doesn't read his comments and probably didn't do any research

[@kimpedersen5708]

Mermaid :D but it’s really honestly 100% not any of u guys’s business

[@mysteriousmerrow]

Kim Pedersen don't think you'll be saying that when he posts a video saying "Oh my god one of my kittens died"

[@xblvckpinkx]

you should rly just leave the babies alone they're way too young & you're just stressing them and sakura out
