kittens feeding alright, but still very hungry!!
I have Anwen in my lap (my blue kitten) and she's sleeping....... :'o)
My fosters have graduated from the bottle to lapping to mashed up solid food with KMR. ) The local SPCA inspector babysat them on Friday when I was out of town and fed them in a saucer. They've been doing that for 3 days. Today, they started nibbling on my Alsatian's dogroll, so they've got formula and mashed up kitten food. They're now eating about every 4-6 hours (KMR with mashed up Whiskas kitten wet food), but there are times when I have to give them food every 2 hours because they're still hungry- high, incessant kitten whinging. They're quite full when they're done the first time, but are still insisting on food 2 hours later. I fed them formulae at 9:30 and had to feed them again at 11:30. Anyone have any ideas? Should I be feeding them more at one sitting or more often? How much kitten food should I be adding to the formulae? And one more question: seems like none of them have been defecating- urinating quite a bit tho. Any thoughts on that? I saw a poop the first night I had them and another one today, but none in between. -- Aphrodite's Cat ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Humaneness without intelligence is like having a field without plowing.
