The Fireplace Kitties

I am worried for Soot and Spout the two girls. The boys have overcome them and suckled them, so I have separated the four. I have two girls in one part of the new nesting box and the two boys on the other side. I suspect Smokey Joe to be the instigator in this. He is the strongest and the largest and he is by far, one of the most difficult kittens to poop and pee in my rescue lifetime! He whirls around the basin, kicking and squalling, scratching and biting and if you have ever been bit by a 3 week old kitten who is just getting his teeth in- you  have my sympathy. Once he passes his stool- quite easily so there is no blockage or issue, he becomes calm again and lays in my arms looking up at me as if to say “Aren’t I cute?”

It is either Spout or Soot who are sick- no fevers- just one of them- not sure who is vomiting a bit. I have gone back to straight goat’s milk with them for the time being until I can determine how bad this illness is going to get. Time will tell and hopefully, none will fade.

  1. Awww poor babies. I really hope they make it! Do you still need the kitten food? I left a comment on your other post asking which type do you need. I can’t seem to see your Amazon wishlist so was hoping you can email me the link to the specific type of kitten food you need. Thanks!

  2. It told me that the item was on our wish list, but I am not seeing it. Not sure what is wrong and no time to chase it. Look for maxcat canned kitten food- there are two kinds I am feeding chicken and liver/beef flavor. and thank you
