Otherwise you will be feeding 4 kittens every 2 hours around the clock - seriously. For a good 3 weeks. I still need to tell you how much to feed. Then potty. You'll need to weigh them as I mentioned. Please let me know your thoughts.

Also, you need to get your cat checked at the vet to make sure there is nothing wrong with her.
HOW old is mum? is this her first litter? x

Okay, we have actual phone contact between littlebooty littlebooty and F frankie1982 now. Hopefully something is being worked out to save the kittens. One of them will update later once it gets sorted out.
Yes I'm picking them up, I cannot leave till hubby home at 7am but will fly over

I'll get my wrist slapped but here are there foster mum and babies @frankie1982

Feeding instructions again:

The kitten must be held tummy down, head up as though feeding from mom. You put a drop or two in the side of the mouth, let the kitten swallow and breathe, then go again. Make sure the kitten stays warm while feeding. Wrapped in a soft cloth and placed on the table on its tummy can work well. The kitten must not inhale the formula. If it does it will get pneumonia and die. So feeding is slow and careful.

I will now copy and paste the potty instructions for you !

After each feeding, each kitten must immediately be stimulated to go potty. You must tap its bum gently with a finger, or gently rub with a warm, damp cotton ball to stimulate it to go pee and poo. It cannot do this by itself yet. Also, to aid digestion, give it a little tummy rub. You can also rub down its head like mama would when licking it.

You must feed 1ml to each kitten now. Again at 4am; again at 6am, etc. until picked up. Feed and potty. Feed and potty.

It's only 9pm in Florida so message or post any questions! Good luck!

There are 4 to feed, right?

Did it go wee or poo?

Be sure they are warm!

How is China doing?

Well after a long stressfull night and a big help from @sarthur2 and a massive help @littlebooty after all that biting n hitting kittens we just couldnt allow our selfs see her bite them like that littlebooty talked us into leaving china to do what she was doing to see what she wanted to do.... Shes settled behind sofa with one and groomed it and allowed it to feed... she didnt bite or hit it so decided to introduce the rest in and look at this BEAUTI Thats all my baby wanted was to be out the way of it all but still doesnt explain in the biting. We talked about maybe it was a way she knew to make them limp before carrying them to her safe place and that does me and we keep 4 beautiful kitttens staying home and less babies for littlebooty to worry about thanks again @littlebooty i highly recommend this site to any newbies joining for info Thanks

This is good news! :) Mama is always best for the babies! Keep an eye on her, but sounds like she had some settling down to do initially.

Please keep us updated on the progress of China and her kittens. :)
