I'll rate a pathetic little (1) to whoever advices me, "Tell your parents!"
Okay, first of all, my best friend gave me a kitten when her cat gave birth to a healthy litter of 4. The little kitten is a female and she is just SO cute.
My mother has allergies, so she won't let me have any cat or dog. My father hates the smell of any animal... so my sisters and I have been keeping it a secret. We have a babysitting job so we can buy cat food, litter box, blah blah... We loved having the first kitten so we got another 2. It went well for two weeks.
We've been keeping them in the backyard, hidden in the space under the deck.
They got fleas. What would be a good way to get rid of them besides going to the vet?? I think I need my parents to go to the vet so I don;t want to...
Plus, we haven't named this black kitty yet. Give me a good name for him, please!Thanks!!
Love y'all!!
If you decide to keep your kittens under a porch and hidden from your parents then your going to have three very under socialized mangy cats when they get older. They're living under a porch next to the cold dirt, of course their going to get fleas. Fleas can be deadly to tiny little kittens if they get enough. They could also get deadly diseases like feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency virus (like human aids), and of course, rabies. If you have money to buy them stuff, then take them to the vet yourself. You need to have them examined, see if their healthy or if they have already acquired one of those diseases, get them AT LEAST a distemper shot and a Rabies shot.
Frontline plus is a good flea treatment. It kills both fleas and ticks. But, advantage may work just as good if not better for fleas, yet it doesn't kill the ticks.
Please don't keep these poor kittens outside with out at least trying to make sure their safe from all of the infectious diseases.
Your also going to need to spay and neuter them, or you will eventually end up with 10 kittens, then 20, then thirty, and eventually up to 100 or more all living under your porch. Sound cute? No, they will all be mangy disgusting, sickly and feral (wild). I deal with feral cat communities often. They are neither cute or friendly. They would rather hide in a corner or bite your head off than ever be pet by you.
So, if your going to be mature enough to keep these kittens, then you need to give them the care that they need. They don't need kitty litter, they have the dirt under your porch. But they do need shots and vet care.

Thanks... but this problem was already solved a LONGGGG time ago... They're fine. Why do people keep thinking they're unhealthy and everything?? They were fine, content, fully healthy all along... the only problem were the fleas. Sheesh.
