Got a problem. Our cat keeps abandoning one of her Kittens.

This exactly!

Mother cats will usually perform a formal cat-scan on the litter.
When the babies are born she licks each kitten clean. Her tongue gives off a magnetic field and the special sensors in the mother cat's nasal canal sends a perfect picture in her brain of her kittens insides. She will check for bone structure, brain development, and organ health.
When the mother cat licks off the meconium her taste buds will check for thyroid function, liver chemicals and kidney function.
If she finds a defect she will not waste valuable milk on a sickly kitten.

i had a momma cat back in the day, she ate one of her kittens (the runt) but nursed the rest... so if she rejects it, talk to your vet and see if they have / know of any kitties that just had a litter and might be able to wet nurse if it will accept it

I think OP is trolling and trying to get people upset by leaving a kitten to die when he could take it to the vet. I don't think there is a kitten and this thread is just a lie.

Take the normal kittens and put them in a soft place to sleep for a few hours.

Then place the mom and the baby in a box together where the mom cannot get out.


This will allow the mom some time with the baby to bond and the baby will not have to struggle against all the other kittens to nurse.

Ive seen runts before in kitten batches and this is what I do to make them stronger.


It wont hurt the other kittens to be away from the mom for a bit they will just sleep.


And it will give the runt time to gain the strength it needs.

Usually its harder for the runt to nurse because the other kittens all crowd the good spots.


But if you give it this extra time alone with the mom it will soon be able to hold its own.

Also some of you who are saying that I don't care about the kitten are dead wrong. You know why?

My wife was there when they were born. She dragged me in the laundry room to watch it. Disgusting. But Also kind of cool though.

My wife loves these cats. Im hoping she won't notice if one of them is gone because - what do I tell her if she does?

So i dont want it to do. I don't want to have to have that conversation with my wife. She'll get all wierd about it.

So take the kitten to a vet or even to a shelter. There are people on call who will take that kitten.

Ok, maybe I was out of line calling you an idiot. Sorry. Call your wife, she'll be able to help you do what you need to do. She might even have everything you need to feed the kitten. Trust me on this, she WILL notice right away that a kitten is missing. Don't make me take back my apology.

Animals aren't like you would like to think they are, courtesy of Pixar movies.

No, they are ruthless and savage, and will kick a genetic aberration to the kerb, right quick.

Either the mom isn't producing enough milk to fed all, thus has selected one to die, or there is something wrong with it and being sick she is trying to save the rest by getting rid of the kit.

I would strongly suggest taking the kit to the vet. Make an appointment first explaining to them you have this kit that mom refuses to feed/care for. To take it in you need to put in in a comfy, warm towel and make certain you leave home at a time that you will arrive at vet and be seen promptly. You don't want to be sitting around with a kit on your lap for an hour, this puts it at risk for infections in the waiting room. Kits, pups, babies of all species are very vulnerable to infectious diseases as their immune systems are not fully developed.

Most likely you will discover that this kit is 'healthy' - but you should rule out disease in case it is infectious disease, thus you can take proper quarantine procedures to prevent the rest of the litter from being sick.

You will, most likely discover that you will be mommy for this kitten. You will most likely have to bottle feed it and tend it like the mommy cat should.

Bottle fed kits and pups and other critters tend to become highly bonded with the human who tends them in infancy. As such, expect this particular cat to be the one you keep.

is it a black cat?

If I call my wife about it then she'll know all about it!

No best NOT to call my wife about this.

I have tickets to a baseball game tonight. Guys weekend kind of thing. Only time the wifes not around ! Look i did the right thing here. The kitten is comfortable. It has food if it wants it. Im sure if it wants it bad enought it will find a way. Nature finds a way!

Ive done my job.

Ok, you are WORSE than an idiot! I won't type what I'm saying to you right now, but you had better be ready to be single when your wife gets home! IF you're THAT lucky. Enjoy your game jack-ass.

So we know you care about this kitten because....your wife was there when they were born and she dragged you into watch it and you thought it was cool and disgusting.

Yeah,..sounds like you really care.

I hope your wife bitches you out big time when she gets home and notices one of them missing.

Yeah you did the right thing by leaving the kitten food it is unable to eat.
You might as well of not left any at all.

How is that the "right thing to do"?

I had a dog who would not nurse her pups. Lost a few as I struggled getting them to take the bottle. Then I learned a trick that saved the rest of the litter... the warmth of the mother has to be simulated or the puppies will not feed. Use a heating pad or any type of microwave warming bag to lay puppy/kitty on while giving them the bottle. Hope this helps someone out.

What do you think the SPCA does with them?

My crystal ball shows a divorce in the near future.

You guys are so obviously being trolled.


There's no one who thinks it's okay to flush a kitten, and even if there was, theres no one dumb enough to think they can crush up cat food for a newborn kitten.

Op is a lame, bad troll.

If you're writing up a reply to him, STOP.

He is trolling.

Take the kitten to the nearest vet, tell them you found it abandoned in your front yard most vets will take it and give it to a rehabber for proper care. If you tell them it isn't yours and you have no way to care for it most vets will take it in.
Too bad your human mother didn't discard your sorry ass and your daddy didn't toss his hands up like your doing without a fricken try. Such a worthless man.

Someone did this a while back. Everyone was so helpful telling them each step in taking care of kitty and pleading for them to not flush it down the toilet. He went through the "going to give it some cat chow" thing too.LOL.It ended with him saying, "never mind, I flushed it down the toilet". He did have the decency though to say he was just trolling.

If you get too upset with this guy, tell his wife he's gay. This is his thread:
Thread: 20 years old...shy...been rejected by Girls my whole life...

And thanks for caring about the kitty.

Hey, Nine's! The thing is, troll or not, there ARE people out there that would do this. We both know that, I even know of at least 2 people that have done this exact same thing. Oh, well...now it's time for me to go! See ya!

There are many ways to help the kitten. If you don't want to take the time to nuture it, please call a vet,the SPCA,or 24 hour emergency vet hospital or a no kill shelter. Someone will help. Or, you can buy a food dropper, use tepid milk(fresh milk, heated, but not scalding),wrap the kitty in a towel, and slowly open its mouth and trickle the milk into her/him. Don't overfeed. There is also kittty formula at some pet stores. Once you have established a routine, select one of the litter mates and hold it next to the runt while it feeds. They might bond;the mother might be more accepting. I took care of 7 kittens once...the mother was just a kitten herself and could not handle the feeding frenzy. All the cats grew into beautiful adults. All were placed into loving homes or barns, Don't give up!

I might sound cold and detached but this is what's wrong with the world and why we are so overpopulated. Let nature take it's course.

OP, if you don't want to take care of it call a vet and ask if you can drop it off. Lots of vets will temporarily take lost dogs and cats and I'm sure they would rather take your kitten than let it die.
Or, take it to the Humane Society near you right away. They will save it.
You don't want to watch it suffer and die, do you?

Why is it that every time someone mentions cats all you hear is spayed, spayed, get it spayed. shut the fuck up already. I'm sure OP is smart enough to make his own decisions, he clearly asked about help for his little baby kitten, not weather he should get his cat spayed or not. People like you are moronic idiots...

. . . i have never heard of such a thing; that goes for both you an your mother kitty: CALL YOUR WIFE IMMEDIATELY

Anyway, OP you two options; 1. Let the little bastard die. 2. get information on how to take care of the little bastard fuck and live happily ever after with a clean conscience.

It is that simple.

They're trying to depopulate the kitties by 90% in order to please their new world order illuminati masters...or something.

There is something wrong with the kitten and the mother knows it will die. It is hard to raise an abandoned kitten, I tried and it died anyhow.
