Give her some more time, but keep putting a dish of wet kitten food in her cage though.

Josh was a bit finiky at first. He started to eat from a bowl like his sisters, but then regressed back to wanting the bottle for a time. Took some time but he finally decided that it was better to eat from the bowl rather than waiting for me to fix him a bottle.

Back to her food training..LOL!

fancy feast grilled chicken for example.

I got some of that and she wouldn't even sniff it, completely ignores it. (I tried giving it to the grown up girls and they wouldn't touch it either!)I even baked a chicken and tried her on some of that. She would lick it but not once did she try to eat it.

OK, I figure it is time to try some "tough love" so last night, I didn't give her the night time bottle and I had a can of adult Friskies cat food and put her a dish of that in the cage with her overnight. When she heard me up here this morning, she didn't start screaming for food and her tummy was plump. When I let her out of the cage, she went right into playing instead of screaming for something to eat. I think I just been keeping her to full from the mush in her bottle, maybe to the point of over feeding her so I am going to back down on how much I am giving her in the bottle and start caging her with food when I know she is hungry.

She is doing everything a big girl does now, except for the eating thing.. Time to get "tough!"

Guess what Laura = I am getting renewed on bottle baby feeding.. I went to the County Humane Society Meeting this past Tues Night & after the meeting we was called on to pickup a 4 day old kitten that the mother had not been seen in two days.. So I have & am bottle feeding this baby now too.. Its a black wittle girl.. She is 10 days old today & just got her eyes open.. Her eyes look Blue.. I will take pics soon.. I tell you what the lack of sleep at night for feeding is about to get to me.. But she is worth it..

I have enjoyed every moment with Caramella SO much! I realize now that she was a gift to me from God to put my focus on something else besides all this medical stuff I have going on and not being able to work. What would cheer me up anymore than a KITTEN? God sure is SMART!!

Caramella has discovered she has teeth and she is bitting at everything in the house now. The other day she grabbed her play buddy with her teeth and drug it across the floor backwards. Rie was here and we like to have died laughing. She runs all over, jumps and plays.. (She has a really soft stuffed small dog and when she wants to play, I use that in place of her siblings she no longer has and use that to discourage her from clawing and bitting on me)

I see today that Samantha is weakening and becoming almost friends with her. She was not 3 inches from her watching her play and the did that belly up roll over thing and stuck her front paw out to touch her upside down and has been following her around ever since.. She is weakening...LOL!

BINGO! I bought some Purina 1 kitten chow today and she TORE IT UP! I finally found something she will EAT! ***Happy Dances! *****Happy Dances!!****

God always gives us what we need, which isn't always what we want, or think we want. It always works out for the best, so I keep on trustin' Him.
