Responsibility and Newborn Kittens
The mother cat has a difficult, involved job when it comes to taking care of newborn kittens. Unfortunately, sometimes you will find yourself in need of finding a surrogate cat mother to do the job instead.
A surrogate cat mother is a person who takes care of newborn kittens when the mother cat is deceased, gone, or otherwise unavailable. It can be a big job for a child to take on, but an older child should be able to manage it with some adult supervision. After all, it is a little more involved than simply cuddling and petting and playing with the kittens. They need to be fed their formula in the proper amount, bathed, and very lightly disciplined. It’s a big job, but someone needs to do it.
