-=>Can you believe what Miss Kitty said to Susan Cook? Who woulda thunk?
MK> You need to use a cotton square, or a baby butt-wipe,
MK> and get it damp with warm water. Then rub the kitty's anus
MK> in a gentle stroking manner.
MK> I know this sounds disgusting and bizarre, but mother
MK> cats lick their kitten's backsides to stimulate the
MK> kitten to go to the bathroom. (Incidentally, the mom
MK> cat eats the feces too, but you don't need to go that
MK> far! haha)
MK> It's really important to get the kitten going to the
MK> bathroom. If she doesn't, she'll get all stopped up
MK> and bloated...
Thankfully she has started on her own, and is now urinating also.
I will keep this in mind though for any future small kittens I take in.
Thanks for the help.
I noticed, the first night, I bathed her with a wet face cloth, and
she started purring. She must have thought I was her mother bathing
her, and since then she has kept herself much cleaner. She is doing
great.. Eating like a pig, doing her BM's .. although she had to
be shown a few times about the litter box, and gaining more and more
control of her body daily. She is going to be a little holy terror if
this keeps up!
... A cat is easier to train than a Sysop... and usually better behaved.
