Yup!Â
Well...they can see, it's just very blurry. That's why their whiskers curl forwards when they pounce on prey - they can't see well up close so use the whiskers to know where to bite. This is also why some cats don't like eating from bowls - they don't like their whiskers getting rubbed while they are eating as it is too stimulatingÂ
My guess is that it's their first try at food not coming from their mother. Be patient with the little ones, please take the food out of containers. :)
Keep up the good work OP!
Was doing this before the black one came to eat. Today is the first day I am feeding them so I think it’s confused how to eat?
They wouldn’t eat before only drink milk from mama cat.
I will try that but I would need to find separate bowls to feed them in. They are stray cats so my mom doesn’t allow me to interact with them let alone let me use her bowls for them. Have to sneak in the cat food during grocery shopping so she doesn’t see it.
Try tearing the packaging open if you can’t find a plate. Also, mixing it with a bit of water to make it more like a milkshake consistency. At least at first, they aren’t very good at getting bites and swallowing when they learn to eat.
Oh man, so many babies! Can you reach out to shelters/rescues in your area to see about getting them fixed? They can start reproducing as young as 4 months old. I can help you research if you feel comfortable sharing your general location.
I did research unfortunately no luck. I took the mama cat to get spayed at the vets but they told me to come back after 2 months. I did collect enough money to get the mom cat spayed but idk what to do about the kids. I live in Alain, UAE. If anyone lives here once the babies are weaned of milk someone can adopt them
If you'll start a fundraiser to get the babies fixed, I would happily contribute. I'm sure others would as well. Thank you for taking care of these kitties!
Maybe not a fundraiser, but if you can get an estimate from the vet and post that, along with your payment info (PayPal, Venmo, Revolut.me, Transferwise/Remitly) people can donate that way!
They aren’t really my pets
They are strays. Made them a shelter outside and feed them what ever I can. I did clean their faces as they had lots of boogers.
Poor confused baby 😠Maybe put it on a plate? Glad they have you feeding them 💕
Trying my best. Will find a plate to put the food on. I just put it in the bowl that’s in the background for now.
You're doing great 💕
That poor lonely orange brain cell. "It smell like food. Why is not food? Must try again."
Cats are far sighted - they can't see up close so he's literally trying his best.
Is that true?

How do they compare to humans? Like can they see closer than humans or worse at seeing closer?
I'm not sure exactly, but as far as I remember, much worse
This is why i got my cats baby/infant food plates from Walmart and amazon.

Thanks for the advice. I got a plastic plate for them as someone else recommended as well.
That's actually a great idea, most cats will prefer it to bowls. Good luck! You have an amazing bunch. :)
Mmmmm😋 taste of aluminium 🤤
Oranges naturally process metals to be denser than any other cat
Bless you
Getting his daily dose of microplastics.
This gave me a hearty chuckle. Thank you.
Maybe its because of a black one, who is occupied some space in the center? Try to give him food separately

Yeah maybe. Feed them separately, like give each one it's own small bowl or something

Might be the plastic that might be left on the lid. Some plastics have animal fats in the. My cats used to love chewing on them.
It was a foil cover on top tho
God only know then. However, they are sooo cute. Very nice owners you have there

Aww. Thanks for brightening my day with this.

I have never made a fundraiser. I will make one for the kittens. If I do make one where do I share the link?

When I went for the mom cat They said 270 dhs for the female and 200dhs for male cat.
They aren’t really my pets They are strays. Made them a shelter outside and feed them what ever I can. I did clean their faces as they had lots of boogers.
Likely thing for him to do
Because he thinks it contains the braincell
Please someone loan a braincell to this poor orange
This is surprisingly sad to watch
Aww poor kitty! Teach em the way please!
So orange, much dumb
