Kitten just turned 4 weeks today. We have bought Wellness Core canned kitten formula to mix with his formula when we wean him. A few days ago we attempted to teach him to lap his formula from a bowl (we barely put enough in to cover the bottom so he didn't suck it up his nose) , but he just shoved his nose all the way to the bottom, trying to suck it up and ended up sucking it up his nose anyway, making him sneeze. It freaked me out so we didn't try again until today when we mixed some canned food with his formula. He did the same thing; sucked it up his nose and made himself sneeze. So I just put it on my finger for him to lick off and he did okay with that. Why won't he just lick the gruel up? He just keeps trying to suck on it. Also, he is not yet trying to pee or poop on his own. We introduced a litter box (pine nonclumping litter) a couple days ago but he doesn't even attempt to pee his own. Just when I stimulate him. Is this normal?
