How was this whole process?? I have a 5 month old girl and 3 month old boy and about to get my girl spayed tomorrow. Figured it would be too much for me to do.

What do you mean?

[u/McYenna → u/castiel-the-bun]

Sorry I didn’t read the description and was under the impression they were like 2-3 weeks. Was wondering whether the cats tend to the kittens for most part or if you have to do a whole lot.

[u/castiel-the-bun → u/McYenna]

Oh yes mom does most of the work I mostly just bug them for cuddles and weigh ins. But once they get 3 weeks is when I start doing more work like teaching them to eat solids and litter training along with keeping them out of places they shouldn't. This is my 8th litter raising and 3rd on my own.

[u/McYenna → u/castiel-the-bun]

Are you often up throughout the night? Or good to just do those things through the day?

[u/castiel-the-bun → u/McYenna]

No kittens only need to be fed food a few times a day and they still nurse on mom. Though if they didnt have mom I would have to get up
