Answer 1

Nothing is wrong with her but her chances of survival are not as good as a kitten who stays with its mother for 8 weeks. This little kitten needs warmth. feeding at least 4 times a day, kitten formula and water. Never feed milk. The kitten will need a very shallow litter pan and may not know how to use it yet at this young age. You will need to stay with the kitten when using it so it doesn't eat the litter and become sick. Mom cat would have taught this kitten so much so now it is up to you to do what you can to help it. Growling, biting and hissing are all part of kitten behavior. More so since this kitten needs it's mom and siblings. Pick up the kitten gently, wrap in a warm blanket and hold the kitten close to your body to simulate a mom cat. Never yell or punish a kitten. Get on the internet and learn more about taking care of such a young kitten. Remember you made a forever commitment when getting this kitten so it is up to your family to make sure it has the best care and sees a vet regularly, for health checks vaccinations and spaying.

Your kitten is too young to be away from mother. Be sure she is eating enough. Give her some KMR (kitten replacement milk) along with a good quality kitten food. Take her to a vet for a complete check-up.



Having said that; kittens play rough. It is part of learning to hunt. You can curb the biting over time. Do not play rough with your kitten, with your hands. Play with cat toys on a wand. Your hands are only for cuddling and feeding and grooming. If necessary there are taste deterrents, like Bitter Apple, that you can spray on your hands before play.



I strongly recommend that you take your kitten to a vet if you haven't already done so.

Answer 3

A kitten that youthful should not be taken faraway from that is mom yet, and at 4 weeks it won't additionally be weaned. so which you're the two a terrible guy or woman, and so is the guy who gave you the kitten, or you have the age incorrect. At 6 months, neuter the kitten, it is not significant what the subculture there does. that is cultures like that that are the main important contributors to puppy over inhabitants.

Answer 4

Is the cat 4 years old or 4 weeks old? What is a bin cat?

Answer 5

You would need to give more info for me to answer for certain!! Firstly 4 weeks is still very young and would not be totally wild at that stage.



Does she allow you to pick her up or touch her?? In my experience female cats can sometimes be extremely stroppy and moody. My guess on the info provided is that she is scared. Did you buy some toys for her??

Answer 6

At 4wks old they can readjust into becoming a house cat. Most kittens are very playful as babies and can be kinda of violent in their play. When she bites you just stop playing or petting her and ignore her instead of 'tell her off'. When she gets older she will calm down.

Answer 7

uhm.... bin cat or not.. its just a kitten, and just cos its born in a bin, dont mean it has to be raised in one. its not as if they hurt at that age anyway. my cat always did that ( it was playing) he's 8 months now, and does hurt a bit but not to the extent of a cat fight but i defo know hes playing. altho mine never growled or hissed perhaps u r handling her too much ?

Answer 8

The problem is that your kitten is only FOUR WEEKS (one month!) old and should have been left with her mother for at least one other month, if not two.



Please put her back with her mother and I guarantee she'll become far more social and likable.

Answer 9

She shouldn't attack you... Just hurt her a bit.. Not too hard but just hard enough to tell her you don't like what you did and that she's not to do it again. Wear hard clothes and cover your whole body so she can't attack you. x

Answer 10

get a spray bottle. when she starts to bite spray her. Keep doing and she will learn.
