  1. u an get thing thats like cats milk if the mum cat dos not want them dont let there at them sell eat them so keep her away


  2. Try going 2 the store and buying kitten replacement powder that u mix with milk or water. Also buy a litter box and pick up some of his p**p and place it in there. he will now know that he is supposed 2 do his business in there because he will smell/see his business in there.

  3. If the mother is weaning him too early, you could bottle feed him for a few weeks.  Your veterinarian should have the milk replacement in cans and the feeders you'll need.  Kittens can't relieve themselves without help from the mother until they are weaned, so again, if she's too early with it you'll have to do that job; you wipe his bottom with a paper towel dampened with warm water (It's kinda gross, but very necessary.)  

  4. if he goes, take him to the cat toilet, when he does go at the right place, give him treats and praise him alot. if his mom does not want to feed him, so u have to get him cat milk.

  5. at walmart they sell kitten formula and bottles for them...this would solve problem 1

    problem 2 however seems as though he may have a problem if he seems like he hasnt gone at all...especially after you trying to help him..which maybe the reason momma wants nothing to do with him..cats instincts works that way..something wrong with them..well they feel there is nothing they can do but ignore them..sad really..  in this case, i would call your vet and see what to do, if they suggest bringing him in..do so.  it wouldnt hurt to get little guy checked out

  6. Congrats on your new kitten!

    It's common for older cats to not take to kittens immediately, so just give your older cat time. The kitten is more likely to drink milk if he is content and in a warm, cozy environment.  With a little coaxing, he'll learn to use the litter box in no time.
