Answer
getting the kitten neutered would be a good idea, the price for getting your cat fixed depends on where you live, and where you get it done from
it depends on the area u live in and from what clinic you get it done from
in uk spaying in Linclonshire area costs about £50 in the southwest £40. neutering is cheaper £25- £30.and prices vary from area to area around the Uk.
.. the further up county you go the more it costs.I suggest you call your local vet and ask the the vet about the cost for getting your cat neutered
about about declawing, please don't declaw your cat ..in many countries like the UK, you can go to jail for getting a cat declawed. the declawing operation is in fact the amputation of each of the catâs toes at the first joint. It involves cutting of the front part of a catâs toes and means cutting through nerves and muscles and removing bone. This operation is extremely painful (it has been proven to be much more painful than sterilizing or spaying your cat) and it will take a long time to heal .if the cat has the laser surgery, it would still not be good to get a cat declawed.
Even after the wounds have healed, the cat may suffer from a series of after-effects.cats need their claws for balance and also use it to hook their paws on surfaces and stretch themselves. This stretching forms a very important part of the catâs exercise and muscle toning. ;*(
also cats can develop behavioral problems after declawing . It may develop a fear for its litterbox, because scratching in the litter may be painful. So, instead of having a cat that damages your furniture, you will have a cat that refuses to use its litter box. also, this way cats loose one of their biggest source of self defence and the cat could then revert to using its teeth to protect itself and can start to bite people when feeling threatened.many cats also develop aggressiv behaviour after this surgery and even start hissing .

there's an easy solution, you could buy a cat nail clipper from the pet shop and clip your cat's nails weekly or get it nail caps .soft paws is a great option , it should work so give it a try

so please don't get the cats declawed
here are the main things you'll need for the cat
-cat food
-cat litter box and litter
-cat food bowls and water bowls
-scratching post
-a collar
-cat bed
-some toys
also do make sure you keep the kittens completely indoors and get it's shots done at the vet's
human milk isn't good for cats ,as once cats are weaned, many become lactose intolerant so feeding your cat milk can cause your pet to have stomach ailments and indigestion since they are not used to it. In some cases milk can actually make your cat very ill and cause vomiting and/or diarrhea.
If you really want to give your cat milk, most pet stores carry lactose free milk made especially for cats. This can provide a good substitute to cows' milk and can be a good treat.
and yeah feeding
tuna is something you can give your cat occasionally, i wouldn't suggest you give it to your cat on daily basis. you could feed your cat boneless boiled or raw chicken till u get the kitten food.
good luck with the kittens
and once gain , please do not declaw the kittens

Questions About 1 month old baby?
Jaleina
Well I will have a 1 months old on Monday! She's always had the most sensitive stomach I've ever dealt with so due to vomit she lost 4 pounds. I'm trying to help her get healthy weight again but I need some help from you guys. Here are a couple of questions that can help me get this baby healthy!
1. How much does a 6.3 pound baby eat per day?
2. How long should each feeding take? Is 15 minutes enough?
3. Should I take her to her doctor to see if she is healthy?
4. Should she be breastfed or should I supplement with formula?
5. How many hours per day should she spend eating?
6. Is she underweight being almost 1 month old and she is 6.3 pounds?
7. If she was born on her due date and weighed 6.7 pounds was she underweight?
8. What health condition is this if she vomits easily and will go about 4 hours without the desire to eat?
9. Is being exclusively breastfed healthier for her or unhealthier?
10. What should I be eating that can help her gain some weight?
Thankyou for whatever questions you can answer because my baby really needs this.
please answer at least 2 of my questions.
She didn't loose all this weight in oone day she lost it over all the time of her life.
Answer
1. If your baby is breastfed, it is very hard to determine how much they are eating. I would estimate that most babies are eating between 20-30 oz at this age. There is always a big range because some babies are bigger eaters, weigh more, etc
2. All babies also eat at a different rate. At this age, I would say that most babies are nursingn for about 20 minutes at a sitting. What she _should_ do is empty at least one breast (it should get soft and saggy). She needs the hindmilk at the end of the breast, which is the fatty, nutrient rich part. Most babies will also eat at least part of a second breast. You can encorage her to keep eating by strokign her cheek
3. Yes!! Especially if she is having wt issues! Most drs want to see babies aound this age anyway. I would at the very least call the office and talk to a nurse to see what she says
4. If you are BFing, I would not supplement. It can hurt your milk supply and not necessarily help her wt. Your body will alway smake as much milk as she needs to drink. But really, this is a question for your dr.
5. Varies a lot by child, but most babies nurse 6-8 times a day at this age, for 15-25 minutes each time
6. She is certainly on the low side of the wt curve, under 10%
7. I think that is just slightly on the thin side for a newborn, the average wt being 7-9 lbs, I think
8. The vomitting is most likely due to acid reflux. If it is this bad, the condition should be addressed by a dr. They can not only give you advice, but also medication for severe cases
9. Most people would consider it healthier, because of it being the "natural food", and passing on your antibodies. Numerous studies have suggested the BFing is more healthy for a baby.
10. THere isn't that much you can do to influence it.Your body will rob itself to make sure your milk has the correct vitamins and minerals. Do try to eat healthy and get plenty of protien and calcium. Also take prenatal vitamins still. And of course drink LOTS of fluids
Good luck, please do call your dr to talk about this!!!
