Orphan kitty

[noregrets]

I got a kitty today. I went to pet smart and got the bottles and the kitty milk and the supplement stuff. Problem: the kitty won't take the bottle. I had to kind of force the stuff on the kitten, which worries me b/c he can aspirate. Anyone have any clue how to do this?

Sorry. I'm allergic to cats.

I have seen them feed small animals that wouldn't take a bottle with eye dropper. From what I understand, the most important thing is to keep getting something into them.

Unless you can set them up on an IV.

He, and we're guessing about 2 weeks or in that area.

She's precious... I've always wanted to name a girl cat Cleopatra. Love the play by Willy Shakespeare ("Antony and Cleopatra"), and I love some me ancient history, so... then again, I'm a shameless geek/weirdo. Do you have any names you're tossing around, Ang?

I've always wanted an animal names Thadieus. Thad for short. I like odd names taken from their breed, although that one does not qualify. I had a dalmatian named Dal and I have a terrier named Terry (Terrance). Thad just has a nice ring to it, but I'm not sure it's right for a kitty.

Oh, and I had a Cleo. She had long hair on her body and her tail was long on the bottom. The hair on her face was short. She looked like someone drew her. He coat was so shiny, so Cleopatra fit perfectly.
