Kitten Updates

Apparently, newborn kittens are damn difficult to raise. A seasoned rescuer told me that their survival rate without the mother's care is only 5%. There're lots of things you need to help the kitten to do, not to mention the 2-hourly feedings. Here are some pics of the feeding process.....

First, massage the privates to stimulate peeing cos they can't pee or poo by themselves at this stage of their lives...


squeezing out the last drop...


Milk! I want milk!!


aaaaaahhhhh... that's more like it....


Making him pee again after his meal..


Massaging his tummy to make him burp


He's been constipated for 2 days... running warm water to stimulate pooing..


A crude measurement of growth (a week ago, he was swimming in the ring) :-P


Peed, fed and burped... now for a nice snooze on top of the hot water bottles...
