EDIT: Please welcome Atom Ant!



I am still worried about the smallest white boy. It's like he doesn't know HOW to suckle. :confused:

I have been trying to help Sarafina (6 babies is a LOT to nurse) by bottle feeding them twice a day. Most will take a little bit, but not this tiny girl. he refuses. I do get some in him by using a syringe, but this is risky...I don't want to choke him.

So I took all the other siblings out and kept tiny with mom, and he still couldn't settle in to a nipple (even with all them to choose from.)

I am hoping that he nurses when I am not looking. he seems OK, just small. But I am afraid for him.

Can we have a few extra prayers for this fragile one?

Prayers for the wee one...was she the last one born, do you know?

Maybe she is a bit physically immature, and will suckle when she is 'old' enough? How odd, not knowing 'how' to suckle. I hope the syringe can keep her going until she can take a bit of soft kitten food. Do you feed her Nutrical?

{{{{hugs}}}} - c'mon, Peanut, get with it and drink! :):love:

Little white is still doing OK. (It's a boy) And I think I need a REAL special name for him. :)

ALL the babies are doing well. Thank God.

One by One doesn't like to have duplicate names, and we have a Gabriel right now.

I am considering Tiny Tim. But I am just not sure yet. He is really SO small that I fear he will be one of those kittens that just doesn't grow. :( But there is always hope.

So maybe Kojak will be small (love that name!). As long as he's healthy, no problem. Some lucky person may be blessed with a cat that looks like a half-grown kitten all its life. :)

Of course...there is always the teen growth spurt! ;)
