Okay well my cat had her kittens Augest 10, around 11 pm. She had 3 orange tabbys. They are 2 days old, as of today. But the problem is, there is a runt. The two bigger ones are pushing it out of the way, and the runt just ends up laying in the corner by itself. Today I noticed it was breathing hard. It looked as if it had a stuffy nose. So I read some articles and it said that newborn kittens, can only feed by smell. And obviously this little kitten couldnt smell cuz it's nose was stuffed. So I wiped his nose, and turned on the shower in the bathroom really hot. Then I sat in there with the kitten in the steam, so it would clear his nose up. I also fed him KMR ( kitten milk replacment) And at first he didnt drink it, but within 5 minutes, he was latched on to it. Should I continue these feedings? If so, how much, how often, and how much should he weigh, at 2 days? The kitten seems to be a little under weight, and is weak. The mother cleans it but the kitten just isnt nursing from her.
