lol ... Well anyways I never had to do this. My mom just recently turned into a cat person. She has taken care of about 30 kittens right when they were born. Mothers usually get hit by cars or killed by the local coyote. Kittens were eaten in the night by it as well. but sad in all we saved one from the madness. Thats Scotch we raised him day one and he is now 3 years old now. This by in my opinion is the best type of cat. Have been a cat owner for a long time and my current cat is 16 years old. We got her from a breeder as a kitten. Ok cat and mean as hell. But scotch is the best cat. I never rubbed his pooper down or rubed his belly. He is still alive and healthy. He had an eye infection when he was 2 days old and the local na vet gave us medicine. I love my cat and good to see you get one. Take care of it. Rub its butt and tummy.
