Hi, i found this 3 week kitten abandoned in my backyard and I decided to take care of him. Now he is loaded with stuff for kittens (according to petsmart employee) Now. He cries sometimes a lot, at night he is fine but during the day he cries a lot. I feed him very often (2hrs apart), I stimulate him so he can potty (he has done it most of the time in the wrong place though, and is driving me crazy). I know that could be he is hungry or cold when he cries. I dont have a warm pad but I use a bottle of water that is hot then all his 'rags' are microwaved and underneath i use a big sock filled with natural rice just eated in the microowave to keep him warm. Tonight I added a heater in the lowest setting far away from him. He is surrounded with boxes so he can have his space without going far. I don't want him to sleep with me since he still has fleas, and I have a carpet in the apartment and i dont want them to be all over! What can i do about this? Well, I am doing my best putting attention on his feedding time, being warm and try to keep an eye on his 'potty' activities. Am I missing something? I want to take good care of him, but I dont want him to get used on me being around him all the time since I am single and have a full time job. Another thing... I feed him at 10 at nite and then he cries around 6 am in the morning. He sleeps all night which is good but still during the day I feed him like 2 oz more often than at night.
Any advice or what should I add to my routine?
thanks a lot for your help!!
