If you really have trouble, you can tube feed the kitty--I fostered four
kittens and the runt had trouble eating...your vet can show you how and give
you the equipment--you snake a little tiny feeding tube down into the
stomach (it's not as hard as it sounds), use a syringe at one end to slowly
squeeze the milk into tummy. It's a last resort, but it makes sure the
kitty gets what they need. Upside--it's quicker than bottle feeding and you
know the kitty got a full tummy's worth of food.

I've printed that out - Thanks!

Don't think the white & black one is gonna make it - won't even open her
mouth now, and barely moves. Black one just screams & screams - and

takes
just a bit of food, then screams some more - squirming all the while! He
settles down once I place him back with sis, after he tries to find a

place
to nurse on her and fails

Get a small syringe and force feed them. KMR from the
petstore or WM. And a little egg. A bit of karo syrum in it.
