Yes he can smell her on you. You need to wash your hands, and change your clothes. Plus he senses you are stressed (when we are stressed, our scent changes) and he does not recognize you right now.
Fading Kitten Syndrome will eventually strike anyone who rescues orphaned kittens Robyn. There is no reason to give why it happens, it just does. It can happen to experienced rescuers and first-timers, and it is always a gut-wrenching feeling that leaves you wondering what you did wrong.
You did nothing wrong. Sometimes Nature just knows best and takes them. Chances are this little one had something congenital wrong with her, or the fleas and the worms killed her. It just happens and you try and accept it and move past when you can. Also since this kitten was in with the other kittens, keep a watchful eye on them. Treat the momcat with safe flea treatment (call your vet) and flea comb the kittens. I would toss the bedding out they are lying on right now, and put new bedding in. You don't want fleas to infest this litter or this momcat.
