hey there, everyone!
On sunday I got an unexpected house warming gift for my new place when a stray out in my yard decided she didn't want one of her new babies.
When I took my little scrap of white fur to the vet the next day, he said that he was probably less than a day old when I found him. Thankfully the prognosis was good, the vet expects him to do quite well. So he's about 5 days old now, and very feisty.
Though I know the basics, I've never raised a kitten, let alone a newborn. I've found many articles, but would appretiate more, if you know any good sites. Or anyone that has had first hand experience would be great.
One question I have off hand is: since he'll be moving around more in the next few days when his eyes open, the box he's in will have to be bigger. What is a good size? Especially, how high should the sides be? How old will he be before he's big enough that a box won't hold him anymore?
Also, he puts up quite a fuss and strains when I get him to go poo. Is this normal, or is he stopped up some? (he only goes poo about twice a day)
Please forgive me if you ask anything and I don't answer right away, as I don't have internet hooked up at the new place, yet. Thanks in advance for any help!
