OT - Another tiny cat
We got a call from the Humane Society today. They had another tiny cat
needing fostering.
This one is a little girl. We named her Arba, which is the number 4 in
Hebrew since she's our fourth fosterling.
This little one weighs in at 8.7 oz. and will not nurse. I have fed her
with a dropper to get some nourishment into her. She is a challenge.
Hates being held only wants to be left alone. I have put her paw into
kitten milk, made her some of my famous Mamma Janet's kitten swill, wet
her nose, etc. I can't think of any other way to interest her in
feeding. I hate using the dropper.
She's sleeping now, but it's two hours since I fed her so I'm going to
have to wake her.
Anyone with any advice on uncooperative tiny kittens? Would appreciate it.
