phoebejo Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 This lot arrived with me here today for handrearing. They're aged about five days and all appear to be healthy so far. They were found yesterday in the roof of a golf & conference centre. They were very cold and hungry, no sign of mum and infact nobody working there has ever seen a cat there so they were astonished to find these. I guess she'd moved them there and for some reason didn't/couldn't come back. The staff will keep looking out for her. Introducing............ Egg Jelly, the only girl Spud And last but not least, Piglet/Spam and cuddling his new mum, Bunny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoebejo Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I weighed them all earlier. Jelly is the smallest at 134g and porker Piglet/Spam weighs 30g more than her They all struggle to drink more than 2mls apart from him who happily guzzles 5 or 6 mls per feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoebejo Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm soooooooooo tired and that was only the first night I'll get used to it They're taking forever to feed because Jelly and Egg are in their 'leave me alone I want to die' mood and being the cruel mummy I am I'm taking no notice and keep shoving milk into them regardless. They don't show any interest in sucking so I have to drop milk into their screaming gobs. They can swallow, they're not that weak, they just don't want to feed. This phase usually lasts a few days before they admit defeat and do as they're told. I make sure they have 3mls at every feed, and considering a medicine spoon holds only 5mls you can see just what a tiny amount of milk it is. It's enough for them to live on at least. Spud feeds well and Piglet/Spam carries on being the greediest of little piggies He takes a couple of minutes to feed as opposed to Jelly who takes about 10 - 12 minutes. I'm spending about half an hour feeding and toileting them before starting again two hours later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
