    Hi everyone! I recently took in three orphaned kittens on Halloween. They have been to the vet already, and the vet said they look like their doing great. But, I feel like one eats too much! But if I take away the bottle, he cries until he gets more. They’re about 6 days old I believe, because when I found them on Halloween, their umbilical cords were still attached. Their eyes haven’t opened yet either.

    Im just worried because his belly is round. Its not firm though, and he doesn’t seem to mind if I put a tiny bit of pressure on him at all.he eats about 1/3rd a tablespoon every two to three hours. His brother and sister eat about a fifth of a tablespoon.

    Please help! Also, the vet said their orange poop is normal for switching to KMR but I am not sure. :c I love these babies, and I want to make sure they have a good kittenhood!

    Welcome JaNae,
    I have no advice whatsoever as the links provided above have provided this, from TDKer’s with far more experience. Just have to say that baby kitty is sooo adorable!!! That “you just woke me up” look, that stretch, that speckled tummy, those needle-sharp claws! Purrfect teeny package. Do I spy me some more orangie floofiness on blankie? Have you named this little guy or his sibs? Thank-you for saving their precious lives. 😀

    His name is Muta, a reference to the big fat kitty from a movie called “the cat returns”. He has a sister named Vanellope, who is going to my niece when shes ready, and Taiga is his brother, he’s on the smaller side.
