I know this sounds silly, I know. At the end of February we got a small foster kitten, 1 week old. We've hand raise her for a month now, and she got used to us and us to her (our resident cat, not so much ). Being an orphan she is quite behind with development, she 6 weeks old and doesn't poo on herself, only eats a little wet food but still need regular bottle feeding etc. In a few words, she is a lot of work.
We are going away for the Easter long weekend, for 5 days, and yesterday (Wednesday) we dropped her off at another foster carer's and we're picking her up on Monday evening. We gave the foster carer the bottle, the formula, her towels with our scent on it, her favourite toy etc. The foster carer has 4 8 week old foster kittens so we thought it'd be OK. But the 4 fosters hiss at her and charge her then suddenly stop as if they realise she is too small (she is VERY small). I explained to the foster carer how to bottle feed her and how to stimulate her to go to toilet, and it's been not even 12 hours and I already texted to ask how it is going. She told me bottle feeding is a struggle but getting there, and that she slept on her own separated from the other kittens. I know she is not a human baby but I feel SO anxious that something might go wrong. She might be attacked by the others and have a horrible time, she might not eat enough, she might not go to the toilet and get heavily constipated, she might go under furniture and they won't find her again. I am picking her up in 108 hours and it seems like eternity.
