Thank god Ive found this site! I have a kitten..I dont know how old so if anyone could tell me how old he looks I would appreciate it!
He was found in my cousins woodpile- his litter mates were crushed by a log and mom was found dead not too far from there. He came out of it without a scratch but very cold and hungry. Her husband was going to "take care" of him and I couldnt bear the thought of that after all he had went thru already so I took him home.
I got him 5 days ago and Ive been feeding him Just Born Kitten Formula with a tiny bottle. He is able to eat canned food-I tried giving him a little and he was messy but he ate it ok. He eats about 3-4 full bottles of milk a day and Ive been giving him 1 tsp of canned food every other day. Am I feeding him enough??
Also he has been having issues with pooping. He didnt poop for the first 24 hours I had him but he pooped for my cousin. I read online to rub his butt so I did while giving him a bath in the sink. He went a little. And since then hes only gone 2x. Is that normal??? It seems like he is eating way more than he poops out! He is peeing just fine.
The last problem Ive been having is-he was very docile and sweet the first 3 days I had him-very cuddly ect..but for the past 2 days he has been hissing-biting-clawing-and not wanting to be held as much. I would say 90% of this behavior is playful-like it seems like he wants to play? But at times he seems really upset..could he be sick??
Thank you all in advance for your responses!!! Im already in love with the little guy and Im anxious to provide the best home possible!! By the way his name is Houdini because he is an escape artist! These are not good pics-I took them with my camera phone and my little cousin could barely hold onto him! LOL Hence the name Houdini.
