Newborn kitten rescue

Duchess’Mom – Perhaps I should have phrased it as experimenting with solids 🙂 Tomorrow He’ll be 4 weeks old. He’s chewing on the nipple a lot, though that may just be him teething. I gave him some goats milk & rice cereal mixed with wet kitten food (Iams) in a small dish. He did lick up and eat some and yes he make a complete mess of himself lol.

I intend to give him formula for another couple weeks (longer if he needs). I’m in no rush to get him off the bottle just yet. As much of a pain it can be sometimes I know I’m going to miss it. Don’t think I’m going to miss making him poop however lol.

As for litter training I picked up some pure clay litter, non clumping and no fragrance. I did read about how they can ingest the litter and how the clumping kind can harm them. Can’t say I’ve heard of “world’s best” I’ll have to check that out. Right now he still squeaks when he needs pooped. So I’m introducing the idea of the litter box more than him actively using it. Read online about putting some of him waste in the box to help him get the idea, along with scratching his paws in it. I’m sure he’ll get the idea before long. Although I once had a kitten that would go to the bathroom in his bedding and sleep in his litter box haha.

His name is still up in the air.. Rocky is one of the top contenders. I call him a lot of things “little monkey” is probably what I use most though there is “little rat thing” or ‘weasel”. My girlfriend has been calling him squirt. I think that’s because he peed on her lol. I’m bad at naming things but lately I’ve been thinking of Dexter or just Dex.

Oh. finally found the camera (misplaced it a few days) so I’ll see about taking some new pics tonight 🙂

Maybe not as cute but a clearer pic. I only have a few but i knew it was a rare moment Thanks for the comments

I’m sorry maybe I should have started a new thread. Gizmo is healthy and alive. In fact he became the alpha male out doors. Sorry I have no current pics of him. That said I have a few of his offspring. Lucy and Ethel.Ethel is fine (she look like a moo cow). They both got sick as kittens, Ethel throw it off like a cold, Lucy almost died. I packed her in ice (high temp) and took her to the vet in the morning. She has sinus and neurological damage. She is a good cat but cant jump and climbs so i never clip her claws. Most night she sleeps on ‘her’ pillow i have on my bed.

The problem is she stopped using the litter box and i don’t know why.She has been going in the bathroom. At least its in the bathroom so clean up isn’t that bad. I am going to put a box in there to see if she’ll use it but nothing has changed. I would appreciate ay advice.
