Question
i have 7 very young kittens im guessing about 12 weeks old all the kittens seem to suck on one of the kittens wich  just happens to be the smallest one  why???? and is it bad for the little kitten being sucked on all the time

Answer
Hi Jeremy,

Don't let them suck on the little one. This can cause damage to it. Try to keep them from doing that. You might want to feed them a little extra. I am attaching my recipe for something called Kitty Glop. Supplement their feedings with mom with this stuff. Use a kitten nursing bottle. This should help. Sucking on the little one is not a good thing. Especially if they get at it's genitalia. Feeding them the Kitty Glop will help with this. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen


KITTY GLOP




INGREDIENTS:
1 can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not low or non fat)
2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real not light or No-Fat)
1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)
1 pkg. Knox gelatin
1 egg yolk (beaten, )
1 cup Pedialyte (unflavored)
1- 2 jars Stage One Baby food (chicken or turkey)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise, baby food, and syrup together well. Bring 1 cup pedialyte to boil and mix in Knox gelatin. Set aside. Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.

Add gelatin and pedialyte to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well. Remember to not use egg substitute and keep egg white to a minimum.

Pour into bowl (with cover) and set in refrigerator. Glop will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator. Try freezing the mixture in ice cube trays and store the cubes in the freezer, thaw as many as needed.
Always warm glop to room temperature ,(milk form), or a little warmer, before feeding.
