Comments on: You’d Think We Could Control Something the Size of Our Fists http://chickensintheroad.com/barn/youd-think-we-could-control-something-the-size-of-our-fists/ Life in Ordinary Splendor Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:06:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Eirwen http://chickensintheroad.com/barn/youd-think-we-could-control-something-the-size-of-our-fists/#comment-82232 Eirwen Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:56:17 +0000 http://chickensintheroad.com/?p=9793#comment-82232 I know it's late for commenting, but I just had to add my two cents about feeding upside down, he could easily breathe in that formula and get pneumonia. I've bottle fed countless kittens and puppies doing vet & volunteer work, and it's just so easy for that to happen. I always held the kitten in one hand against my chest, wrapped lightly in a towel, their little booties in my palm, and did the syringe-thing as close to lay-down position as possible. I've done the 'feed once an our even at night' thing too, they just have their own schedules. Very cute, fluffy, 'you'll be lucky to have skin on your hands by the time this is over' schedules. He's a beautiful kitten, looks liike a great addition to your other beautiful animals! Great blog btw!

They were too little too. We tried to take them to an animal shelter and they wouldn't take them because they were so young. We had to feed the whole litter with eye droppers until they were old enough to eat from a bowl. I was a young girl then and we would just pack the kitties up and take them with us wherever we went. Camping, to friends houses, whatever. They all survived. Once we moved into a house and the previous owners had taken the mama cat and left a litter of kitties. They were too little too.

The milk can get in their lungs if you feed him while he's lying on his back. When he gets a little bigger, mix some baby cereal in with the kitten milk. It will fill him up, and he won't need to eat as often. Good luck! He's adorable! Be sure to feed him upright (not like a baby) with his head up.

We adopted it and bottle fed him with our daughter. When I made formula for one I made formula for the other. When one cried, they both ate. My husband and the cat share a bond that's far deeper than other cats we have. Our human baby was about 7 months when a feral kitten found us. We adopted it and bottle fed him with our daughter.
