Not sure if this is the right place or not - I'm new here. I have been bottle feeding 3 orphan kitten since they were turned into AC at 10 days old. They will be 5 weeks old on Monday. Two of the kittens (one male, one female) seem fine. They all obviously crave attention, snuggling, etc. which I attempt to supply. The third kitten - a little female - is very needy, demanding, and almost uncontrollable. She acts frantic whenever we are feeding and even after. The other 2 act a little frantic when they are hungry but once they are full - they seem calm, they purr, they want to be held, etc. She continues to act like she is not satisfied. She claws, bites, tries to climb into my hair, etc. They all occasionally try to "nurse" on my clothing, hands, etc. I understand that need, but this little girl is different.
I have tried just sitting her back down when she does this but she cries and attempts to crawl up my leg. I just don't know how I am going to find her a proper home if I cannot get her through this. Any ideas what I might do? She does not seem sick - she eats well, she plays (sometimes roughly) with siblings. I know she wants her mom but unfortunately that is not possible. Thanks for any insight/tips you may have.
