House sitting for my grandma and I heard a cat in her ceiling. Pulled her down and after some research can say she is between 3-5 weeks old. I got kitten formula as I know she's in the between stages of formula feeding and weaning off of it. She likes to chew on my fingers (like I can put my finger in front of her face and she'll just start noming away lol),can anyone tell me what that's about?

She could be attempting to suckle! My cat was 6 weeks old when I found her outside, but since she had been weaned too early she would always suckle. She could also just be trying to play! From my experience I would say that's what it is, but an expert should be along soon(-:

Thanks a bunch :). Will she start crying when she needs to feed? I know I only found her last night, just don't want to wait too long.

are you planning on hand feeding or letting her eat some real food softened?

The kitten will need to eat every 2-4 hours depending on her age. Does she have baby teeth yet? Can you post a picture of her?
