Well it has been a week since my little Tiberius passed away and I still miss him, however, a lady at my work knew how sad I was, brought me two girl kittens. We call them the twins because they are pretty much identical.
The lady said she was in the process of weaning them. I made a mixture of KMR and used a blender to break up the Science Diet dry food. They ate it up and loved it.
My questions are:
What is the best way to get them to drink water? They dove right into the mush I made and ate it up, but they will just walk through the water.
And they are cleaning themselves, should they be using the restroom by themselves or do we need to stimulate still? I know they have peed but I don't think they have had a bowel movement since we got them yesterday.
She didn't know how old they were, but I would venture to guess they are 6-7 weeks old.
I was so used to a 4-5 week old that I'm not sure what all I still need to do for these bigger kittens.
As always, thank you guys/gals!
