I have some more questions about my now 3 day old kittens behaviour and care.
1.How old are kittens when they start to purr?
2.How often should kittens be bathed? And what is the best way to dry them?
Thank you very much for replying to my other inquiries by the way! The kittens are doing/eating very well and that little habit of their's has become less of a problem
From what I understand, kittens purr almost immediately after birth. Most notably while feeding. But, I think they also do it in response to the mother purring, so your kittens may not do it right off. As for the bathing thing, do you mean full on baths? I think you should wait quite a while before that. You don't want them to get chills. But, you should always softly wipe their bumms with a warm damp towel after they eat so that they go to the bathroom (their mother would do this). If the kitties get dirty, you can try to wipe them down with just a damp cloth, but other than that, I don't think giving a full on bath would be a good idea.
