Well I know I offended a lot of you when I said my husband wouldn't let me keep the kittens past 7 weeks. Well, we're going away for the weekend and by the time we get home they'll be 8 weeks! I have someone house sitting so there will be someone here the whole time. I told my husband to give me...

Please understand that I just washed their faces so theyâ€8482re all looking a little slicked back in the face! They havenâ€8482t quite figured out how to eat without getting IN to the food bowl! “Stitch†Female medium hair Calico Loves to be first! First to wake up, first to eat, first to...

My two long haired are having a problem with cat litter sticking to their bums and getting all matted up. They don't seem to know how to clean themselves. I try to bathe them daily, but during the night they get all matted up. Their bums are so red from the irritation. Any suggestions on keeping...

My 5 week olds have been bottle weaned for 2 days and are eating wet/dry mix and water. Several have developed diarreah...not really really wet, but almost soft grey with egg white trails, if that make sense. Could it be from them adjusting to the food? How often should I feed them now that...

Okay, babies will be aprox. 5 weeks tomorrow. I started wet food last week, starting out at once a day and now am up to 3-4 times a day. Yesterday they only had 4 bottles. Today they've had 2 and didn't even finish the second one. I've been putting the leftover formula from their bottles in with...

It's funny how proud you feel when your bottle babies start peeing and pooping on their own! They're all doing so well, eating wet food (Iams), but still taking the bottle, especially their first morning feed as that's what they seem to want. I feel so much like a momma! They're climbing and...

So my babies are about 4 weeks old. They're now drinking 6oz at a feeding between the 6 of them. I gave them some beef baby food tonight on a plate and they lapped it up, of course walking in it as well! I've been letting them go further between feedings (about 4 hours). Tonight they didn't...

UPDATE: Some how she made it through the night. I kept giving her Karo syrup, homemade pedialite and nutri-cal for several hours. She was peeing, which I think was good, but she wouldn't eat at all. I had to force feed her. My little girl dropped to her knees and started praying. I prepared her...

I read somewhere that a little pumpkin can help with constipation? Is this true?

Do you get supportive vet care from the agency you're dealing with? What about formula? Do you have to buy it out of your pocket? I'm asking because right now I'm taking care of the 6 abandoned ones, and gave my number to the lady at Cats R Us if she ever needs help. To be honest the cost of...

I have 6 abandoned kittens that I've been bottle feeding for 1 week now. They're about 3 weeks old. I have one kitten that stopped eating several days ago. I kind of force fed her for a day and then she started eating a little on her own. Now she's stopped again. The lady at our Pet Smart...

Poor little things. They've been fed, piddled, cleaned and cuddled, and they're still crying and looking for their momma. I feel so bad. I try to cuddle them and they just root, looking for something to suckle on. They're not hungry. I feel so bad. I wish they'd come up with a 6 nipple...

YEAH!!! The babies have teeth! The vet said wednesday that they were 2 weeks old, but I think this makes them closer to 3. I think that means they should start peeing and pooping on their own soon. I saw one giving another one a bath today. They're still shakey on their legs, but climbing over...

I can't wait! I don't mind bottle feeding, but the stress of trying to keep track of who has pooped and who hasn't is getting to me! The vet said on Wednesday that they're about 2 weeks, but I'm thinking they're a bit older. They're crawling well and starting to play with each other. They purr...

I held "little kitty" in my arms for several hours last night, offering the milk every 15 minutes or so, trying to get something into her tummy. She slept well and has been eating better today, although still not great. She's purring again and rooting when I pick her up. Thanks for the prayers...

Let's face it, kitten formula is expensive, especially when you're feeding 6. I've seen a lot of recipes for kitten glop and am wondering if it's an acceptable replacement, or even to mix half in half with the formula to stretch it some.

A neighbor found 6 abandoned kittens by the side of the road (we think they were dumped as it was a busy road). I've had them since Saturday. Today I took them to the vet because one was not peeing. It turns out she was so constipated she couldn't. She was able to get him to pee and poo, but now...
