The kitten is very small, hasnt opened its eyes yet. it doesnt have a mother.
It drinks milk in very small quantities, but is active when awake.
My kitten sleeps a lot, is playfull, but when it sleeps it sleeps a lot. I have placed it in a mini bed i made for it with soft fabric and placed a teddy in it, to play with. Is the kittys sleepin for long hours normal ?

Cats can sleep for up to 20 hours a day, especially when they are that little.
you are doing everything right, keep up the good work.

Yes. The average cat sleeps for 14 hours a day (when the average human sleeps for 8). Consider how much more sleep a baby gets than an adult, and transfer that to a cat. I have had many kittens in the past, so don't worry!

Hate to tell you yet once you're breastfeeeding that's the way toddlers are...and despite if on formulation it is not genuine worry-loose for a infant to sleep 6 hours without feeding...learn how to nurse laying down and co-sleep which incorporate your infant you will the two get greater sleep....in case you place her in the crib develop the pinnacle of her matteress up some which will help with the digestive subject...my infant grew to become into 4 weeks early and went by a similar element...additionally attempt to cut back dairy out of your nutrients ordinary and notice if that helps too...breastfeeding gets lots greater handy as time is going on...

23/24hrs kittens can sleep. At that age they have limited energy. Are you feeding her a "vet formula milk" she is too young to be alone and without her siblings. If you can find a wind up alarm clock that has a loud tick (sounds like her mother's heartbeat) that gives her comfort. Keep her warm with a sheepskin at this stage, she has trouble controlling body heat. Best wishes.

Absolutely normal for a small, young cat or dog to sleep a lot. This is the way they build up their strength. They finally get up. stretch and then begin to play. Look into your cats eyes. It will tell you a lot. If they sparkle the cat is fine.

Yes, cats do sleep on average twenty hours a day, mostly when theyre little though. They are like humans, young people like me can sleep for like, eighteen hours and old people can only sleep for about six. Dont worry, she sounds happy and healthy, and it seems her basic needs are taken care of:)

Yes. You should however worry about its food intake. If the growth is slow, take it to a Vet.
