Jayden had been wanting to look for baby kittens at her grandparents. This has become an annual event in order to add to our number of cats. All of our cats are fixed, therefore we never have kittens. There is just something about kittens. Jake had been with grandpa and pulled in the driveway carrying a box and I could see something peeking its head over the side. Jake was so proud of his find. He brought home two boy kittens one yellow and one black tiger striped. Later Jayden went back in search and found s tiny kitten with matted infected eyes. We couldn't bare to leave it with such bad eyes even though it was so little. Maybe a couple weeks old. The other two looked to be 3 or 4 weeks. Still they were all very little. The first 24 hours we stuggled to get them to eat. We tried the medicine dropper and sticking there faces in a shallow bowl of milk. They just cried and cried. Finally I went to the store and bought a bottle. Amazingly they took to it really well. Jayden found out right away this was not going to be so fun or easy. They require feeding 4 times a day, they are messy. However, there is nothing sweeter and cuter than them sucking from a bottle. So now we have three bottle babies; Coca, Hammy, and the tiniest Mouse.
