Hi, Mrs. Nooseman:
You have two sweet little beauties.
Whole or Condensed Milik diluted in a bit of water fed in an eye dropper of squeeze bottle are great helps when Kittens are very young. Though you might have to dip the Kitten’s nose in her first bowl of milk before she gets the hang of lapping.
Getting their Humans through tough times are what Kittens and Cats do.
Jack.
June has learned by example from the older Kitten Crystal and she is thriving.The first couple of days were a little nerve racking,because I had to feed June exactly the way you described and Crystal didn’t really like June.;)
Now as you can see they are best buds.Crystal has become Junes playmate and Momma figure.
June is now lapping water or pets milk ( special formulated milk for cats or dogs) on her own and she does eat some dry cat food soaked in water or milk to make it easier for her to chew.She also tried the dry food dry and is able to handle it.It only took her three days to accomplish that.Now the litter box is a different story all together.I am the one that is Litter box trained.LOL
Crystal does fine with it,but June is still learning.For the most part I have to take her about a half hour after she has eaten,but she is slowly catching on.
They were both a god sent addition to the family and arrived just at the right time.
Boy do I miss my old Kitty.I keep hearing him scratch on the front door to be let in.
