Birth weight |
|

Birth weights are not mentioned in this table, they are unknown. The weight of the smallest one which came in was just about 60 grams and that little one was all ready a few days old. The umbilical cord was already gone. |
When and how frequently must there be weighed? |
|
| |
First week on a daily basis on regular hours. If growth is satisfactory, then go to weighing twice a week and later on to once a week. If a kitten is sick, go back to weighing on a daily basis on regular hours. |
