How long after birth before a mother cat’s nest should be changed?
Generally change the nest about 1 month after birth, but it is not necessary. Once kittens walk they follow the mother and pick their own spots, so no special nest needed. Do not move kittens in the first month or the mother may abandon them due to smell. Change only after weaning when they eat independently.

Cats lick their fur for many reasons: self-cleaning, stress relief, showing affection, masking scent, or skin disease. Licking is normal grooming and nothing to worry about.

How do you choose cat food?

Why Cat Cafe Cats Love Strangers but Yours Hiss at You
Cat-cafe cats are usually hand-picked gentle pedigrees (Ragdoll, British/S American Shorthair, Scottish Fold) that pass strict screening, early socialization (brushing, belly touches, being held), desensitization to noise, and environment design with hideouts and treat rewards. Your cat can get tamer too — with patience, socialization, and never forcing contact.

When Can a Mother Cat Be Dewormed After Birth?
