Thank you for the reassurance!! Will do ☺️

I hope so!! As long as it’s relatively normal I don’t mind, was just getting worried. He’s a big boy now, chews and fights me on the bottles so it takes a minute to get him going. Just anxiety inducing, afraid he will stop taking bottles but still refuse the solids and starve himself...

Any tips for if they don’t catch on? I feel like I’ve tried everything - different bowls, spoons, syringe, hand feeding, different textured wet foods, kibble. He shakes his head and runs away. This is the runt by the way. I’ve watered it down, left it solid, done the pate mountains. One of the...

Okay! We’re at 4.5 weeks now, their premolars have popped through and I think they’re ready to try the food mixed with milk. Does anyone have tips for weighing them? They move so much and climb out of any container I put on the kitchen scale, I can’t get an accurate weight. They’re peeing on...

Oh, and here are pictures of one of the little gentlemen grooming himself and them together with cute curious looks while exploring their new larger space. They’re officially 1 pound today!

It’s not really a collar, more like a ribbon type material with velcro :) so it’s super adjustable, couldnt attach anything to it. I check it every feed and leave it pretty loose, but not loose enough to get a paw stuck. They’re nearly identical and fight for the higher weight lol every day the...

Another weekly update and question! Lol. They are 3w 5d now. I’ve noticed there’s a pretty foul odour when stimulating one of the kittens the past few days. Smells skunky? Not fishy at all. Honestly can’t tell if it’s urine or poop or passing gas. I don’t think there’s any infection, theyre...

This and your other comments were lovely. Very informative. Luckily I have a few carriers now from our current pets and those passed on. I will take your advice though on keeping them secure!! My favourite actually has screws keeping the top and bottom together along with the clasps. Was...

Haha!! The vet and his techs will definitely be getting a little something extra from me and my family. Will update when I’ve settled on names! This is almost more difficult than naming my daughter. Good thing is she is 4 and I still had a lot of her baby blankets that could be repurposed and...

They are 3 weeks tomorrow now, the days are a blur lol! Thank you for pointing this out, I was looking for when that should start so this is great. Will definitely wait until they’re 4 weeks and/or have more teeth. Their little front teeth are cutting, one nipped my finger today and surprised...

The vet said he’s pretty sure both male :) I love your idea! Very meaningful. My best friend is Ukrainian and I will have to ask her for suggestions as well. They were so tiny at birth, I was afraid to name them or get attached but they are my babies now, I have decided I will keep them ❤️ They...

Totally appreciate it!! Will check the link now, I live in a basement apartment and fire safety is super important to me. Great to hear all this litter info as it’s something I honestly never questioned before having these little guys, just kept my cats on whatever litter they were using before...

Great idea with the mat!! Would a pellet type litter be sufficient? Paper and pine are the only non clumping/clay options I’ve been able to find here. They’re not quite ready yet, but don’t want to be scrambling and googling in the store when they start on their own lol. When when you start...

Good to know the reasoning behind not using clay litter, I was planning on using an alternative and then eventually switching to the bulk litter we use for our other cats :) but wasn’t sure if it was just uncomfortable or dangerous. Thanks for the reassurance! I do remember my previous cat...

Some updated photos of my floofs. Should they be graduating to a larger enclosure at 3 weeks (this weekend)? I’m seeing that is when they begin exploring more :) Something with room for toys, shallow litter, and saucers. The things they’ll need in these upcoming weeks. They are both doing what...

I also have no idea what I’m talking about, but if it is any help to OP my kitties are very similar in age, and looked almost identical to Gus in the beginning. I’m sure comparison will be of no help here, but I know someone mentioned him potentially being a colourpoint before. The father of my...

One of my kitties just aspirated their milk I think 😩 They are two weeks old today. I’m still using syringe and miracle nipples they suck at their own pace, this has never happened before! It was having its feed as usual and suddenly pulled off and sneezed, milk came out of its nose. I held it...

How is your Gus doing? ❤️ did you end up changing formulas?

Hmmm I heard good things about nutrivet as well! But as I’ve said before, this is my first time raising kittens I’ve just done a looot of research. First I would double check, is the powder meant to be refrigerated after opening? And you’re discarding unused formula within 24hrs? The formula...

One of my kitties also had this really light spotting when their poos were runny, I think for me it was from all the frequent runny poop irritating its bum. So could be contributing to it on top of the thermometer check. I never saw blood again and after changing formula theyre having normal...
