so our cat had kittens, they're four weeks old now and momma is not taking care of the little girl very well. Just earlier she refused to let the girl eat at all but let the others eat, and she's not cleaning her.

the girl is the runt of the litter, and hardly even sleeps with the rest of the kittens she usualy sleeps in the corner behind the basket

There is usually a good reason for mom cats not to attend to any kitten - and usually i'ts because mom cat knows that the kitten will die anyway...

You can start to bottle/syringe feed but do guard your heart against the kitten failing.
