    Update on weaning kitten!

    well I'm not about to buy a scale to see if he's gaining weight, but he's definitely growing. But you're right, there was no point to the bottle of water.

    Ok that makes us feel a lot better! I don't want to starve the poor thing! He's a playful little one and I want him to get all the nutrients he needs so he can keep up his energy! What we're doing is dabbing the formula on his mouth and just making the bottle less available to him. But...

    Kittty isn't pooping?!

    Yes we are. I try to stimulate him for at least 30 seconds to a minute, but I don't want to irritate his skin either. He also lets us rub his stomach after every feeding. He seems to like that. We do gentle circular motions before we stimulate him.
