Emergency - Bottle feeding problem!
My friend has 2 one day old kittens and their mom has no milk. She bought
Just Born milk replacement and the one baby sucks it right down.. but the other one refuses the bottle. I tried to at least just get a drop or 2 on her tongue..but she still fights me. Any ideas on how to get her to accept the bottle? Mary |

Poor babies. Sherry |
