Feral cats are quite tough, and yes they're now being bottle-fed. If they survive tonight - and I'm more hopeful they will - then I'll get some proper kitten formula milk tomorrow morning.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835205817921501248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-1116172093803301242005-05-15T18:48:00.000+03:002005-05-15T18:48:00.000+03:00You think they're only three weeks old!

I didn't mention that earlier because the sounded older. That severely lowers their chances of survival and adjustment, I see why you were questioning your interventions.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322778291206842093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-1116096536374133042005-05-14T21:48:00.000+03:002005-05-14T21:48:00.000+03:00It's quite warm here at present, even overnight it...It's quite warm here at present, even overnight it's about 16-20C, and they do sleep all huddled together so we're not too worried about the warmth. They seem to have gone to sleep now, not much more we can do at present (it's 10pm and dark). Must now write another post, I think.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835205817921501248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11180319.post-1116092198640778342005-05-14T20:36:00.000+03:002005-05-14T20:36:00.000+03:00Well, if they're climbing out of the boxes that we...Well, if they're climbing out of the boxes that well they may be older than they at first seemed. They may just not be hungry. I don't think it's irresponsible to feed them, but I won't overly fret about it. I'd just try giving them moistened cat food and see if they'll eat it. <BR/><BR/>Relocating their nest was a smart idea. Since they're mewing so much you might want to trythe hot water bottle and clock to comfort them. Good Luck!Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322778291206842093noreply@blogger.com
