The last 2 days one of Cagneys kittens has been progressing slower than the other 4. I figured it was just the "runt" and kept a close eye on it. Every time I'd check on the kittens it would be farthest away from Mom, and it was always bulldozed by the others when they nursed, so I'd give it a little help by scooting it in closer to a nipple.

Yesterday morning I went to Petsmart and bought some KMR and a feeder, and have been able to feed it several times, although it doesnt take much it does drink some.

This kitten is about half the size of the others, and just seems very lethargic.

Last night it seemed very weak, and cried pitifully several times. I really thought by this morning it would be at the Bridge.

This morning it surprised me by meewing when I checked on them, it's quite a little trooper.

I fed it again, and put the other 4 in a basket so it could nurse. Called the vet and she said bring them in.

We are leaving in a few, but would like to ask for prayers for the wee one.

Thanks everyone,
