    When can I hold my 4 day old kittens?
    My cat had 3 kittens 4 days ago. When can I hold them? They are so cute and I just want to pick them up and squeeze them l0l :p .

    Um, don't squeeze them!

    As long as Mama Cat has no problem, pick them up asap. Don't move them out of Mama's sight or even away from where she is. She will move them if she is unhappy with how you treat her kids.

    I held my cat's kittens from the moment she finished cleaning them off. She had a difficult birth (even for a first litter) so I had to helpher tear open sacks and even deliver a breech. Please note this cat has had a special bond with me since she was abandoned with us. When she went into labour she came to find me to help her. While she was in labour I left the room to get a drink and she followed me to the kitchen with a kitten starting to come because she was scared. She's a special case. Most cats are comfortable with their owners touching the kittens within the first day or two. DON'T SQUEEZE BECAUSE THEY WILL GO SQUISH!
