Re: Mamma cats lost interest in her 4 2 week old kits

Don't use human milk substitute - it contains cows milk and will give them the squits which at their age could kill. Go to the vets and get a proper cat milk substitute (should cost around £10 and will last ages) - ask the vet to put it on account for you until you get paid. You need to use a syringe really(again they only cost about £3), at a very last resort a steralised teaspoon MIGHT work but it might be too big. You needs to feed them every 2-3 hours - day AND night. You need to stimulate the kittens genitals with a warm wet cloth or cotton wool as well to make them wee and poo, after each feed.

Hopefully Saiku (sp - soory)or Lizward will be along soon - I think they know some reciepes for kitten milk.

Are you weighing them - have they gained or lost weight?
