Well at least I know I am not the only one with a kitten who thinks every feeding is his last. I took the towel suggestion, only instead of wrapping him, I put it over my hands and then held the bottle. This seems to be working. I don't dare clip his nails as I have never done that before...

OH boy! My babies are now about 4 1/2 weeks old now and I am still bottle feeding, simply because no matter how hard I try, I cannot get them to eat solids or lap the milk from a bowl, platter, whatever. My male kitty, Bumpa, is beginning to get very aggressive while feeding. I don't believe he...

Ok, my news is not good. I brought Baker to the vet to have her checked because she is sooooo wobbly and cannot walk well. I have been told by the vet she has cerebellar hypoplasia. She stated it is a disease that caused the cerebral portion of her brain to not develop. This apparently controls...

Thank you for all of your wonderful advice. They finally did a poopie!! Of course, the method used was a little weird, but I checked with the vet and she said that it was fine. You see, I also have 2 shelties, one male and one female. The female is a little skittish around the kittens, but...
