A tale of a Tiny Kitten...

Can you make a shelter where the Momma Cat can get to her Kitten.
Or set a trap so you can catch her, and have a Mommy and Kitten reunion?
The way to get a Kitten to void is a warm wet wash cloth applied to the bottom.
Good Luck with the Momma and Kitten.
She must be frantic with worry over her Little One.

Mom said today that as of now, the momcat is nowhere to be found. The shelter (its right down the street from my parents) has been looking around the neighborhood and hasn't seen hide nor hair of the mom

Hope one of the coyotes or the stupid morons that speed down the street didn't get her.

I've been catching naps when the ktten naps, feeding her regularly and wiping the bum every time I do. I was worried that she wouldnt eat, last night she refused the bottle but today she got the hint with a vengence! I've fed her twice so far today, once at 8 am and just now at 2:30 pm. 6ml of KMR at each feeding. I've been letting her kind of tell me when she has had enough.

I feel for you mothers who've had infants. This is hard work! I haven't slept much, mostly because I've been watching the little kit, making sure she is ok, even when she is asleep

John is taking her when I go to work later, as he will be home to supervise. The other three keep looking at me as if to say "Why did you bring THAT here?!?" lol. They are being kept far away of course!

Soon, I hope I can get a picture, maybe when her eyes open up. I don't want to scare her by jossling her around.

I thought kittens that young had to be fed every couple of hours around the clock. This has come up in some of the threads on very young kittens. Is the kitten producing anything - pee or poop - when you stimulate with a warm rag?

According to what Ive read, its pretty much a case of feed on the kittens schedule. She seems almost ready to open her eyes and is proving herself to be mobile! She has peed, but no poop as of yet. I'll keep doing what Im doing as it seems to be working! She is a lot more active today...a lot more willing to Explore!
