being a lone kitten he obviously has lots of milk and is happy with that. my kittens didn;t eat solids until they were 6.5 weeks old as there were just two of them.

is the food smelly? the smell can help intice the kitten and try warming it up!

also add a small amount of tuna (not good for kittens) but the smell made mine eat, they never touched food. one smell and taste of tuna one day then they ate proper kitten food.

don't worry about mum getting preggers so long as she is kept in. and the kitten will eat in time.

speak to the vet yes good idea. don't worry if he still wants milk after she's spayed. mine carried on drinking milk when mum came home well, more just suckling for comfort.

eek: JUST NOTICED POPPY HAS ESCAPED, I THOUGHT SHE WAS IN HER BED IN THE CUPBOARD AND SHE IS NOT!! SHE MUST HAVE BEEN OUT FOR SOME TIME AS THE DOOR HAS NOT BEEN OPEN SINCE ABOUT 3PM. WILL THE KITTEN BE OK WITHOUT HER FOR SO LONG? WILL HE BE HUNGRY? i HAVE BEEN OUT SHOUTING HER AND CANNOT FIND HER ANYWHERE...I SURE HOPE SHE IS OK

try giving the kitten some kitten formula milk. or try getting him to lick food from your finger.

hope mum cat is ok and not having fun with the local tom

I hope she is not....I really want to get her spayed, shes had one litter and that was an accident, we have a new wee kitty out it....but dont need no more lol
I have cimicat in, so i'll go and mix that up for when he wakes up....hopefully he takes some and I hope Poppy returns home soon

I hope she isn't for her sake either. To have another litter so soon after the present one would be extremely hard on her health.

Perhaps you should consider an abortion and have her speyed at the same time.

Hope she comes home. Let us know how the kitten gets on, i'm sure he'll start eating even if you syringe him some cimicat too. I'd book Mum in next week!!! As yes being pregnant again will do her no favours.

My Mums Moggie got pregnant and escaped after. Mum took her to be spayed and turns out she was pregnant, not far gone at all, so the vet gave her an abortion and spayed her.

Well Poppy appeared back....she isnt interested in the kitten at all though, she just jumped away from him and went into her bed, he got in beside her and she jumped out, so i brought him through with me and shes asleep in her bed.
Simba did have a little bit of baby rice and lapped up a little cimicat....not much but its a start
