Thank you Catfamily. I know they were loved and cared for, it is still hard. There is one more baby I fear for. If he pulls through...I will feel better. I am so doubtful about him though. I know that sounds grim....but it is the sad truth. I sure hope Jersey is strong enough. His sister, Sunshine, seems to be doing a little better. I haven't seen either kitten nurse of Dottie. Not sure what that is about. Dottie makes me upset sometimes. Sunshine will try to nurse, Dottie will lick her, then get up and walk away. It is really bothering me.

Are you bottle feeding them too?I'm not sure what is best.You know better than me.

If Dottie is still stressed - as you mentioned earlier - might some Feliway help her, along with pats and reassurance (as you are doing, I know)?

If she is still in a kennel or cage - is it covered with a large towel or blanket? She might feel 'safer' that way.

I was only bottle feeding Itty Bitty. The others were syringe fed kitten weaning formula and baby food (lamb and turkey).

Dottie and her babies along with Itty Bitty were kept in our 1/2 bathroom. It is rarely used, so we figured we would just not use it at all. She was in a kennel, covered with a large blanket, but she tore the blanket up trying to get out of the kennel. We figured she was not happy in there. It didn't matter where she was, she didn't feed the babies in either spot. I am so baffled on this situation. (sighs...)
