Just took in a stray cat it's like 1 week old...what should

with it being 1 week old you would want to use kitten formula. as for the other cat attacking it you may want to keep it in the bathroom or some place safe. i think at 1 week it will need to be fed ever 3-4 hours i could be wrong you will need to google a feeding chart.

Go to the closest pet store and pick up some formula, try to bring the kitten with you so that they can also try to determine the age as well as help you get the proper items you'll need for its care.

Also a pic of the little snugglefuck would be nice

Nope. This guy is right. You need to feed the cat with Kitten formula every 3-4 hours. Also make sure the cat is warm, when I've raised the strays I've found I've kept them on my chest with a towel so that they're always warm. Especially make sure that they're warm at night.

Also when you feed the lil guy you need to make sure he gets enough, the people at the pet stores (where they have kitten formula) probably know what and how to do things and if they don't, they will know who to contact.

First of all you should always keep cats separate when introducing a new one. It's for the safety of both. You don't want your adult cat attacking the baby and you don't know if your baby has FIV/feline leukemia or an upper respiratory infection (or anything else). Wash your hands, especially after handling baby.
You want to make baby a box with a heating pad and towels.
Be prepared for around the clock feeding. Use a powdered kitten formula and syringe. Check feeding guides online but a 1 week old needs feeding every 3 hours. AROUND THE CLOCK. Skipping or over feeding leads to diarrhea. A cat this young also can't potty on its own yet and you have to rub their genitals after feeding.

That last one feels like a lie....

It comes as a surprise to some people that newborn kittens actually do not go to the bathroom on their own – their mother licks them to stimulate elimination and urination, and to keep them nice and clean. You will need to mimic this behavior by stimulating the kittens with a warm, wet cloth at each feeding.
My mother is a vet and I foster cats.

Nah he isn't lying
Just make sure you do it over something it can pee on because it'll shit and piss while being stimulated

>>745119250
Listen to this man. He speaks the truth. Just use a wet towel (OBS make sure it's "skin"-warm)

Can we see the baby kitty :) ?

If you need any help my kik is poopdawhoop and can be reached there. I'm a grizzled internet veteran and oldfag but animals and fostering kitties are my one weakness. Any pictures of the baby? Would be helpful in determining age.

Nope not a lie. Its the same with young puppies as well.
Its gross but it could literally kill them if not done

post a pic of kitten and good luck to both of you <3

This. Kitten formula, frequently, make sure they stay warm. Keep the kitten in a separate room from your cat.

They'll eventually get along, but for now priority #1 is being mom to your kitten: kitten formula and warmth.

Good luck with your growing cat family!

This too. Food that goes in has to come out, so your kitten needs help with elimination too. (Thought about including this in my previous post, guess I should have.)
