So i have had these kittens now for 4 weeks and i am really lost! I figured it was time to introduce a litter box so i have done that. Not sure if they are using it. They all watch their mom very intently when she goes though. Is there anything more i should do to make sure they are going in the box. i haven't found anything on the floor.
Now... what about feeding them? I am worried that FLower is NOT doing it. Everytime i pick them up they try to suckle my fingers or in Tulouse's case my nose or ears. I bought some Just Born kitten milk and tried to mix it with hard food and i got it on all their little noses and they all licked it clean but wouldn't come back to the bowl unless it was to walk through it. I don't really know what else to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My last problem is that I am worried that Flower is trying to hurt them. I watched her grab George and slam him on the floor and start biting and kicking him. Also when ever i shut the door and walk away from the room I hear the kittens let out a high pitched scream and i run back out there and she is laying on the floor like nothing happened while they stager away. People have been telling me she is teaching them to fight but she just seems so mean. She is a semi Feral. she has already bit me a few time. I am so ready to get her out of my house. This morning she attacked my Tubby cat. I was so ferious i grabed her and held her down as i yelled at her. I don't think it makes a differnece. and no matter what i try to do there is still fighting! I been trying to keep her locked in the room with the kittens but i can tell she is miserable. She has been free and able to run around outside for as long as i have known her (who knows how long before that)......
well i guess i started rambling. any help?
(I am at work atm so i will upload some new pics when i get home later)
