   Ok so I have two 4 1/2 week kittens(not sure on exact age because I found them but two vets said 4 weeks 4 days ago) so my first question is:

   peaches poops about 4 maybe 5 times a day. Is that normal? The color is light brown and soft like frozen yogurt. Allie just pooped fir the first time I've seen yesterday and it was really dark brown(not black) but very solid. They are eating wet food mixed with kitty mill. Peaches hasn't taken to water but Allie has. Does the kitty milk give hydration? They act just fine in fact Peaches is nuts and runs around super fast like a crazy monkey and likes to tackle Allie. Allie is very energetic also and curious but meows for me more than peaches. Is all of this normal?

   Yup! Normal as kittens can be. Every single kitten I have had has been vastly different from his/her brothers and sisters. My 5 week old is still wary of drinking water (she dips in as to go for it and pops her head right back out when her nose touches the water - silly baby).

   Allie might just not be used to the food yet and it may be stopping her up a bit. She may also just be more of a Momma's Girl and need your loves more than her more independant sister - hense the calling for you. She is just looking for reassurance that Momma is there and she isn't alone in this big scary world!

   As for the Kitty Milk, is it powder or premixed? You might try diluting it a bit with some water so that she gets the taste she so loves but can start weaning her towards pure water (add a little more water and less milk over the course of 2-4 weeks).
