New Kittens

[LiberalNation]

So this stray wild cat had a liter of four kittens. Watched her move them a lot and played with them when she was gone. They finally looked old enough to take home a few days ago so I picked two. They are eating wet food and our really sweet. I was suprised considering how wild the parents are and how they hissed when I first when near them. Looks like they'll make two nice house cats.

Umm..

A) They shouldn't be eating wet food. They should be eating kitten chow with *maybe* a little milk.

B) LOOKED old enough? They need to be 8 weeks old. 6 weeks is too early in most cases. Those only look about 4 weeks old...maybe 5.

C) Vet appointments are a requirement - especially if they're strays. You don't know what diseases they have, and they need to be dewormed, or they likely won't live that long.. Most stray kittens don't grow up to be stray cats.

D) It was really mean to steal them from the mother, who's probably searching for them right now, thus neglecting her other two... they all should have gone to a shelter together to get the proper care they need.

There about 4 weeks and they woulda died outside anyway and if they didn’t the neighbors would kill them cuz there are so many stray wild cats running around the neighborhood. The males were scouring the place looking for them. As for the momma cat, sorry think she'll get over it. Vet of course I'm gona take them in a few days. They aren't eating dry food yet cuz they can't just bottle feeding with kitten formula mixed with water and a little wet food.

So you took them from their mother far before they were ready, thus torturing the mother, since SHE is the one that should wean them, torturing the kittens because they aren'y READY to be away from their mother yet, malnourishing the ones you DID take, because they're not getting MOTHERS milk, possibly killing the remaining TWO due to neglect, and you think you did the right thing?

That is THE most irresponsible thing I've ever heard in my life.

Proof positive that some libs think about nothing but themselves. Selfish bitches.

I think I did the right thing, they may live, may not, they have just as much chance as house cats then as growing up outside and being wild. Plenty of cats have been bottle fed by humans and lived. That strays gona have a litter every year for a long time anyway so again not worried at all about her except for the pest she may become if she keeps having kittens in all the nieghbors and my bushes. As for malnourished, you haven't seen their half starved looking mother.

If you wanted to do the RIGHT thing, and gave half a shit about them, rather than yourself, and "cute factor" you'd have taken them to a shelter where people are trained to care for them, at which point you could have gone back to adopt the two you wanted.
