Newborn Kittens Hissing

My cat had 5 kittens 3 days ago.

Newborn kittens hissing. It s kind of a hiff hiff hiff. Pick it up pet it talk softly to it and ignore the hissing. Where they use that organ to really detect decipher smell. It could be hissing i had a ten day old kitten growl at me.

If your cat is frequently hissing at your kitten keep meetings short and brief using a feliway classic diffuser to help them remain comfortable and calm. So you are probably referring to kittens who are likely older than a month because even when the eyes open around the 10 day mark their eyesight is still limited and they have not developed their own defensive reactions yet. Cat s have a sensing organ in the roof of their mouths and they kinda open their mouths and pant it s called flemming not sure of the spelling. But it may be that they are trying to figure out what that smell is.

But when i got home from work yesterday and checked on them i noticed that some of them was doing some sort of panting for air. Some people call it a cat s stinky face like. This got me worried and when i got home tonight and checked on them they were doing it again. Hissing is a result of fear.

My 4 day old kitty hissing at me lmao. The kitten must be about 3 to 4 weeks old. Newborn kittens do not hiss at all newborns are blind their eyes are still closed and very helpless. The mother has accepted all of them and is taking good care of them.

Some cats may instinctively hiss or act assertively when you introduce a new kitten so you ll need to offer lots of reassurance and extra attention. While kittens do pant if they are hot or exhausted or in some cases have a medical condition i am trying to once and for all settle the debate as to whethe. Please note i did not touch them at all and lucy was about two feet away. Lucy s 4 day old kittens hissing and spitting like a furry little nest of snakes.
