    Sarafina's littlest baby. He has a name!!

    EDIT: Please welcome Atom Ant!



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

    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?

    Prayers for the little white kitten that she will catch on to how to make nice things come into her mouth.

    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.

    How about Puck? (Short for Pucker, which he isn't doing, apparently! )

    I'm rehearsing a production of "A Christmas Carol" now. How about naming him Tim Cratchit?
