Maternal instinct

BTW, this person's technique leaves a lot to be desired. You don't put
kittens on their backs while feeding them (even upright is dubious).

Feeding while turned over on their backs is a sure fire way to cause the
milk to be aspirated into the lungs. Pneumonia and/or respiratory infection
can follow quite quickly doing feedings like this.

In one of the clips, the kitten was giving the signals of how it wanted to
be (on its tummy, arms outstretched - watch those claws!) but they were
ignored.

I've fostered several types of wild mammals and kittens too. The
outstretched arms is almost a universal sign of distress.

(this one brought Jacob in from the other room, and if it had a
little screaming thrown in, would pretty well typify Alex at the
veterinarians' office.)

LOL None of mine responded to any of those sounds. Alex sounded like that?
Yikes. The wildcat wav is probably what Shadow thinks he sounds like if he
had a voice. I can picture him being that mad. Poor guy. If he only had a
voice, he might get some respect outta Bonnie and Shamrock.
