5 wk old kittens won't eat food
« on: August 18, 2008, 11:27:48 PM »
I have 5 week old baby kittens and they will not eat kitten food or moist catfood at all. I have not had kittens since I was a kid and don't remember alot. How do I get them to eat the kitten food?

If they were here I would take their little heads and plunge them into the wet food, just far enough to get the food on their mouth. They will lick it off and get the taste.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Sounds like a good plan to me.
