Have you ever cared for such a tiny kitten before? You have to do things like wipe their butt with a warm washcloth to get them to poop. Stuff like that. Make sure you read some guides if this is your first time.

Gotta be terrycloth, something rough enough to simulate mama cat's tongue.

Just went through this last fall. Dry toilet paper worked just fine, just be gentle.

Thanks for the clue. Actually I learnd it recently that you have to massage cats for that purpose. I have aunt that has knowledge about rising cats, so he is safe.

Very young kittens are definitely some work. Mama cats have their work cut out for them. You'll have a ten pound best friend in no time.

Maybe later when he grows up, his paws are so so tiny
