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. :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?

Absolutely. Prayers for kitten, siblings and Sarafina.

Prayers for the little one, and the whole bunch too.

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:

Oh goodness, imagine! You know we have prayers going up for this little one right now. :love:

Hummm... What can you do except keep trying to feed him? Good Luck with that one.

THATS SO SAD.
CAN YOU WIPE THE FOOD ON HER MOUTH, I THINK THATS WAHT THEY DO AT THE AWA WHEN A TINY ONE REFUSES TO EAT.
WE ARE PRAYING IN THE NAME OF OUR ALL MIGHTY LORD :love:GOD :love:ABOVE THAT HE SPARES THAT LITTLE WHITE KITTEN, AND LETS HER GROW TO BE A BEAUTIFUL SHINING WHITE CAT.
PLEASE.:love::love::love:

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.

:):love:What about Gabriel? for his name.

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

What about Charlie?? ;)

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

Prays coming along for Tiny :)

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

snowflake...

good he´s still doing ok.. let´s hope till he does just fine ;)

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.

MY DEAR MOTHER USED TO HAVE A BIG WHITE CAT THAT SHE CALLED MISSY,:love::love:
THATS NOT APPROQUIATE , HOW ABOUT MISTER?:love:
WE ARE SENDING PRAYERS FOR THAT LITTLE WHITE KITTEN THAT HE WILL SURVIVE THESE NEXT CRUCIAL DAYS.
:love::love::love::love:

how abpout liflting his ego... and go with Yeti .... somehting that makes him "bigger"... even if just the name :p ;)

Great idea, Husky Mom!

Along that line, how about "Sasquatch"?;)

I thought of Niles today. I like people names for animals though.

Well, I have definitely SEEN him nursing today but he is so much smaller than the others. can you see it in his picture?

Doing good this morning.

:) Sending:love: for Tiny :)

Sending prayers. Can you find a pet bottle? They have them here at the farm store.

Been thinking about the littlest one. I hope he's doing well today.

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! ;)

Tiny baby had been dubbed..............

Atom Ant!

And he is still doing OK.

how cute!!.. so happy he´s still doing ok

Atom Ant, I like it. :)

Now that's cute!

Tiny, but blessed with super-strength! Atom Ant sounds about right. :D
