Look at my babies :)

Aly,

About the babies not pooping. Don't you have to
kinda do what a Momma kitty would do and just
rub & massage their tummies after they eat?
Think I read that somewhere. God Bless you &
Best of Luck with the wee ones.

Yes, I do rub their bellies (thats how I make them pee), but they won't poop. I keep rubbing for awhile after they pee and still nothing happens.

Aly, I would call your vet for sure - and ask them. I think the massaging thing will do it....but if not, they must poop. Exercise may help a bit too.....I think their Mom would probably lick their...well, what can I say....the anus.....and that stimulates the process. I suspect a soft cloth on the finger might do the same thing.

Hope all runs smoothly for you.

Keep up those photos. I just love them.

And bless your soul for taking care of such tiny creatures!

:)

Thats how I've been doing it. I use a damp warm cloth and rub them catching the pee with the cloth. Then when they're done peeing, I keep rubbing and nothing happens :(

Ok, Aly, you're not playing fair now. ;) :D I was just about to leave for home but thought I'd read one more thread, and here I sit, grinning away at your tiny little creatures. They are sooooooo cute!!! I want a kitten so bad <pouting> but Terry says two are enough. Ok, so I don't need two hour feedings, but you sure are a dear to put out such an effort for these little darlings. I have nothing to offer in the making them poop department, but I know with the resources you have on hand you'll get it figured out soon and they'll be growing so fast. I can't believe the difference between the two week olds and the 4 week olds. What a difference that two weeks makes when they are so young.

Oooohhhh I've got the kitten craze again!!! Thanks for sharing!!!:D

All the babies are sooo adorable ( and I am not a huge cat fan :) ) If they would stay that small and cuddley I might ignore my allergies and get me some...

You are such a wonderful person for opening your heart and home to so many animals in need. I'm sure they all thank you :)

My little boy pooped!!!! YAy! I got him to do it myself. Still no luck on the girl.

Oh yeah and when I stopped by work, they gave me ANOTHER kitten. This one is a little younger than my 4 week olds, but we put him (or her? - don't know yet) in with them and they're all curled up sleeping together. More pics to come. For now I have to go prepare bottles :)

Oh, Aly, you are such a good mommy!

I was grinning while reading about the 'poop patrol' you've been on - it reminded me of my own "poop watch" after Ritzy's spay surgery - she was sick because she ate all the fur off one of her toy mice during her pre-surgery required fasting period...I had to make sure all that blue-furry poop made it out of her system...

Good luck with the sweet babies - there is a star on a crown somewhere in heaven for you and those like you :D:)

Congratulations!!! Reading this out of context someone might wonder what goes on here at Pet Talk, but we know, and we know it's a small victory, but also a big one! Here's hoping the little girl follows suit soon. :D

And can't wait to see more pictures. I just love itty bitty kitties. :D

So cute :) and tiny to be motherless :(
How old?

I just loved the new pics Aly. I can't wait to see more. :D Like everyone else, I'm also a big fan of kittens.http://hstrial-rknouse.hssites.com/files/1_gif01.gif

Sorry to be late back Aly - the new pics are wonderful - you do know don't you that YOU are responsible for all us Mums out here going through the 'Kitten Kitten Kitten - I need a kitten Syndrome'??!!
So pleased the baby furboy (Hope?!) has pooped - fingers crossed that the little baby furgirl has obliged by now!!
Your doing a wonderful (exhausting??!) job and hope your getting rest whenever you can.

Aly they're precious. One of the bigger ones looks like my Maya.....memories! And I love the picture with Reece :D You have a great little helper there!

Here is the first picture of Clover, the new kitty that was added yesterday. Turns out he is a boy when I thought he was a girl. The people at work told me to keep his name Clover though because that could work for a boy too. What do you guys think?

Let me tell you, if there was any kitten in the bunch that I would keep, it would be Clover. I love them ALL soooooooo much and am waaaaaay too attached to them but Clover is such a little cuddler. When I take the kitties out to play, they all run around me playing but all Clover wants to do is curl up in my lap or on my chest http://www.plauder-smilies.de/love/biggrinlove.gif

krazyaboutkatz - If I kept Clover then I'd have one that looks like Storm and one that looks like Pepper :D
