Lil Orphan Kitty






This kitty has kept us so very busy! It is like having a newborn baby in the house. Feeding every 2 to 3 hours. Then we seriously burp it and you must clean Kitty. We do this with a warm wipe to clean it to try and mimic the mommy. We hold it a bit to help the little kitty sleep then put it in the basket until next feeding or the kitty wakes up.




Here is Kitty with its big belly and one eye open. An eye opened at 8 days old. We now feed kitty evaporated goats milk. I have read you can feed this to newborn kitties and I have read you shouldn't. So if you wind up like us with a kitty that must be fed research and decide for yourself. I am going with goats milk to be light on its tummy. The little one didn't make a (pardon my french :)poop for 5 days. So switch from formula to goats milk. I also went to the pet store and bought a gel that helps with hairballs it is also suppose to help them go as well. It has a mixture of oils like mineral oil and has flavoring. So far it has helped. He is going...hurray!! Speaking of going...since this is a science project I must tell you all the icky details. In this lovely adventure we have learned while cleaning it you must clean around certain areas to help stimulate the kitty and make it go. They do not go on their own. Though they won't need help in that department for long...thank goodness!!




Here is kitty with both eyes opened. It was 11 days before both eyes completely opened. Next change we are waiting for is when its little ears pop up and it looks like a regular ole kitty :) This happens in about 2 weeks. We are almost there...can't wait for those ears to pop up :)



Speaking of kitties ears, my daughters noticed that when you feed the kittie its ears wiggle.... too funny :)
