Hiya can i just say i got my kitten just over a week ago she was 7 weeks old and she wouldnt drink at all she was playing and eating but she wouldnt drink she was goin up to her water and putting her nose in but as soon as she could feel the water she would shake her head and back off as she was scared of the water, we tried putting her near th water and tried putting sum on our finger but she wasnt interested so we decided not to put her near the water we let her go herself and she started drinkin she still gets a bit scared of it but then she goes back for a drink, i hope your kitten will be ok coz no how worried there can make ya. was your kitten drinkin on its own or was it still drinking from its mother coz if it was still drinking from its mam it wont no how to drink on its own, just a thought.
