First the little orphan kitties need a wash.
Then the lesson in how to drink from a saucer.
Boo tries to look stern…

Bed Time.
But I don’t want to go to bed.
Bedtime.
But it’s still light out!
Bedtime.
Good morning.
Love your friend on the farmy, celi
ps The little one is still not doing so well, he is drinking and so forth but he is very sluggish, he is still not sucking the teat and still not walking. Though he does purr – he does not miaow like the others. We will see.

They look good, like they might just survive. Glad.
What a dog…
Wonderful, peaceful shots this morning…though I know it’s a much less-peaceful reality!
He’s definitely a mother dog cat 😉
Wish I could meet Boo in person… he seems like such a wonderful dog.
Love that Boo. Plugging for the little ones and pulling hard for the wee one.
Let’s hope the little one makes it, but in the meantime Boo is doing a grand job of being mum. I remember having a kitten who couldn’t lap water/milk and the way I got her to do so was dabbing my finger in the milk and letting her lick that off and then gradually working my way nearer to the saucer of milk and bit by bit she got the idea. Mind you she was a few weeks older than these kitties. Just an idea.
Great advice! 😀 I did this too!
They lick the milk from my fingers now so it won’t be long! c
oh my these pictures melt my heart! Hope the little cutie pulls through x
Ever heard of nutridrench? Vitamins and minerals in a molasses base only a little mixed in with the milk can give a good boost. we saved a wee piglet this way. She was so bad she was having convulsions, etc. She grew up quite fine and was over 400 hanging weight.
Yes! I used something like this called Nutrical! They have it for kittens! Wonderful! Gave it to my pups and sick adult kitties. Must be tasty stuff! 🙂
Sounds like good stuff, i will order some .. It sounds like something I should have on hand..though it usually takes about a week for things to reach us, and driving all the way into town and back is out of the question this week, c
Those kittens are so precious! And so is Boo!!! 🙂
Boo-tifull 🙂
Is it me or did you change the look of the site? I love it. I love the dark background and how it makes the photos more important to me. Or, it’s just me because I haven’t slept well and the photos are just too darn cute. 🙂 Lovely thing to see at my sleepless 4:30am. Oh well, so long as I’m up…good morning Celi.
No it is still the same, you must be tired, what are you doing awake in a hotel room at 4.30 in the morning, are you catching another plane?.. c
I noticed the black background, too, and if nothing has changed I’m thinking it might be the computer I’m using here at home. Usually I look from work 🙂 It does look spiffy!!
maybe the images are brighter today?
Isn’t Boo wonderful… between the two of you those kittens are getting the best care and attention possible. Hope the little one makes some progress soon, he has folk all over the world wishing the best for him.
I so hope the little one makes it!
This just makes me smile. You captured Boo so well with your camera and his love of those kitties. I am hoping the weak one gets stronger and stronger. Thanks for sharing such a lovely photo story.
Just a note that many people don’t know – cats purr when they are in pain as well as pleasure! I found this out years ago when my then cat was in a difficult labor and I had to call the vet in – she was purring like crazy and that’s when he told me it was because she was in pain. Long story cut short, first kitten was blocking the way out, and once removed by the vet everything else went smoothly and she had 4 kittens.
Is the little one pooping yet? He may have a blockage, which will make him feel full and not want to drink. Trouble when they are so small, there could be a million and one reasons for his slow start, and of course they can’t even tell you their symptoms so it is all guess work. Still I think you and Boo are doing a marvels job!
Yes he is both pooping and peeing. Interesting about the purring. Sad too. That we cannot trust the purring as a good sign. c
