new litter going on 4 weeks
They all weight around a lb. The two boys are drinking their formula from a
bowl. Share isn't in their vocabulary. I have to give them separate bowls as they drink with their front legs spread eagle over the bowl as if to protect what is theirs. The girls show no interest in the bowl and insist on the bottle. They all use the litter box and are pretty good about covering up when they are done. It always amazes me how easy it is to litter train these little guys. I'm thinking about introducing them to something more solid in the bowl. If the girls are anything like my girl from the last litter, they may be more interested in the bowl if there is something solid in it. That's my project for next week. Wendy |

I always found that making a mush out of kitten food (canned), human baby
food (meat only flavors, they seem to always like chicken or turkey best), and some powdered KMR for the extra vitamins. they seem to take to it, and I slowly weed out the human baby food, then the powdered KMR until they are eating only canned kitten food - then I start mixing in dry kitten food. Also make sure you have plenty of fresh water available for them as they will not e getting as much moisture without the formula. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
