Hello, my name is Brenda. I have a problem and need help. I moved into a house a few months ago and didn't know that it came with a cat who made herself at home in our barn. Well we decided to clean out the barn and to our suprise we found a litter of Manx kittens( no tails) We didn't know if the mother was getting enough to eat so we started putting food inside the barn for you. She was wild and nobody could get close to her. Well we found mother moved the kittens but left one little black one behind. After it was alone for over 12 hours the grandchildren brought it inside and I started feeding. A few weeks went by and we kept watch over the barn but one morning we discovered the mother cat had been hit by a car and was dead so we had to find the remaining kittens and bring them inside. I estimated their age by the one I was feeding. I feed it 7 days before the eyes opened so figured she was between 3-6 days olds when abandoned. We brough the other two inside when they were about 5 weeks old.
We brought the other two kittens inside and found these two like mother was tailless but the one she abandoned had a tail. I got them eatting on their own, trained to a litter box with little to no trouble, and had them wormed with their first shots. So far saving these little bungles of surprise has cost me over $300.00 of my S.S.
My problem is the little male kitten keeps biting and nursing on his sisters til the point he has pulled the hair in big clumps off of them. I have used the squirt bottle, told him firmly NO, and separated him and nothing has worked. I am afraid that he is really going to hurt them. At times he can be so loveable but he can turn on them in the blink of an eye.
BTW:they are all beautiful. Sammy my little bottle baby is pure black, Smokey Jo is a silver gray stripe, and Andy, my little trouble maker, is a tabby stripe. I hate to get rid of Andy but can't let this go on. HELP.
