At first glance, it may seem that a newborn kitten can be easily handled by its mother cat.

However, in this case, direct human participation is still required.

In particular, it is extremely important to ensure that the kitten is located away from drafts and direct sunlight.

Too high a room temperature or hypothermia will cause serious harm to the kitten's health.

It would be advisable to buy a spacious house for the cat and her cub. A box lined with a soft blanket would be suitable as a house.

Take note

Up to two months, the kitten should be with its mother, who feeds it properly and washes it.

However, it is recommended to keep an eye on your cat family, in particular to ensure that they are provided with enough food and water.

It is also very important to regularly clean the cat house and change the diapers inside it, otherwise the kitten may pick up parasites and get sick.
