Billie's mom didn't want to nurse her litter of three so a lady in my building decided to hand raise them. She was feeding them human baby pablum and as a result Billie looked like a concentration camp victim. She was all bones and big belly. She's also a week behind developmentally. She's 4 weeks old, but is the size of a 3 week old kitten. She also had a bladder infection because she was kept so dirty, there wasn't clean part of her she was all crusty. Eww. Billie is now 5 weeks old (Still looks like a 4 week old though) but has put on weight and is a feisty little booger, and gladly hasn't suffered any brain damage or blindness from lack of nutrition. Andrea, in Canada."

... hasn't suffered that you KNOW of... If she gets your scent, follows you home and sucks your eyelids as you sleep, you'll know.

Lot of people really don't realize all the things involved in had raising kittens. I've raised a few litters that way myself. ( Daughter of a MAJOR CCL ) The heating pads, Encouraging them to use the bathroom, waking up every two hours... Memories.. :) It has such a good payoff. She's gonna love you to death when she's older

Abby - One of the siblings stayed with the previous owner but was doing just fine on his "diet", and the other one went to another CCL.
Tova - HAHAHA ;)
Lorey - She already does, when she's done eating she'll purr really loudly and lick and snuggle my face ;)
/such a CCL...sigh ;)
