One Week Old Kittens Hissing

Health and care of a newborn kitten.

One week old kittens hissing. Week old kittens hissing and spiting at me. You probably won t notice much of a difference between a newborn kitten and a one week old kitten but it will start to be more active as the week goes on. These guys were rescued last week with their mama. They are hissing because my clothes smell l.

Whether you re thinking about getting a puppy or wondering how a rescue dog will fit in with your family post here to get opinions from other parents. This guy has been hissing since day one so no major surprise. When they are awake they stay close to their mother. If you re concerned for.

I ve also had a 3 week old kitten that was sitting in my lap after a good bottle feed suddenly spit hiss and swat at my curious but friendly dog who had quietly walked up. Please note that as a peer to peer chat board netmums has not checked the qualifications of anyone posting. From hamsters to horses this is the place for pet related chat. In the first week of life kittens do little more than sleep and eat.

Makes a funny sound when hissing cause still so young. While it is important to keep an eye on the mother and her kittens too much interference may result in the mother cat moving her kittens to another location. Think this may be mean cat one day lol. The mother stimulates urination and defecation in her kittens by licking them.

Kittens won t be playing with littermates just yet and the only social interaction between each other will be battling for a nipple to nurse from. I ve seen kittens even a little younger than this hiss if you pick them up and they aren t used to humans. Ideally kittens should stay with their mother until they are around 12 weeks old to make sure they are emotionally ready to be separated from her.
