Hello,
I am new to this forum, I ran into it on google.
Last Saturday, my mom called me over to the house around 9pm at night, because she heard a kitten mewing. We looked all around outside and I was in bushes and everything despite caring about what else lurks inside. Anyways, no kitty there... but still mewing, but I realized the sound was coming from inside the house and it was not my parents cat. So we climbed up the attic and there it was a newborn kitten, I am going to guess 1 day old, because the crying was just discovered that day. There was only one kitten and no mommy. So I have taken this little kitty in.
It has been pretty much a week, I get up every 2 hours sometime stretch it to 2.5 and the latest is 3hrs because I have work or school and no one to care for it. But anyways, the kitten eats pretty well, I have the bottle already prepared, I just fill it to the top which I think is like 60ml or something close, and i refrigerate after every use. And at the end of the day, what is not eaten I throw out and make a new one. So so far as of the last day the kitten will drink almost the whole bottle through out the course of the day/night. I am not sure I overfeed the kitten, because it will sometimes drink a lot and then sometimes not much at all, but does not seem unhealthy.
Kitty is very loving, and loves to be rubbed and burped and purrs and purrs when I hold it. I have been trying to stimulate it every feeding, so far it has pooped every day except the first night I had the kitty and today, but I am still working on today's poop. When the kitty does poop, it is mustard color and comes out plentiful, usually I run its bottom under slow warm water when it starts to poop, until finished. I am just hoping for a poop today... was wondering if it is okay if kitten misses one day of poop, or should I be checking on something?
Its ears are slowing unfolding, and its eyes are a little just barely starting to look as if they are opening. One eye has started to tear a little. Hope that is okay. Other than that, kitty eats, burps, purrs and sleeps. There is generally no crying, unless I have waken it to feed and then it is like Mew mew mew until it is done eating and is sleeping.
So with this said, does it sound like kitty is in good hands??? I just want check, I have fostered a feral kitten before, but it was at least 2/3 weeks and that is my parents cat now and she is 2 years.
