This is Kitten Lady's Tiny But Mighty and it will tell you everything you need to know about helping your little kitten. There are also good youtube groups such as TinyKittens. Much advice there.
Your kitten is hungry, do not feed it cow's milk no matter what. Get KMR (Kitten Replacement Milk) at a pet store,.
I have Kitten Lady’s book Tiny But Mighty, and I definitely intend to foster once I don’t live in a one bedroom apartment (with my three resident cats). In the meantime, I care for community cats and make sure they’re TNRed so there are fewer homeless kittens. Thanks for doing what you do. It’s so important!!!!
Thank you for saving them! Do you know of any local rescue groups? They can often provide you with really great instructions to help the kittens survive! If not, look up the kitten lady on instagram- or her book on amazon “tiny but mighty”- she specializes in rescuing kittens like yours. Keep us posted on their progress!

So take this as an anecdote from someone in rescue, but 99% of kennels here in Australia feed raw/market fresh (especially the old school trainers, they think kibble is rubbish and each have a speciality "blend" of feed that they swear keeps the dogs in peak performance from grain hash, veg soups, bone broths, raw eggs and meat). I always find it interesting that transitioning to mostly kibble diets in domestic homes is where greys run into gut issues, and I think it has a lot to do with not being used to highly processed foods with preservatives and fillers.
When my lad was younger he was on a raw/fresh food diet purely because he had IBD and could not tolerate commercial diets, we tried every insanely expensive "prescription" food under the sun and it all ended in chronic colitis. Now he's nine he's on a cooked/fresh food diet and still thriving :) he is currently in renal failure, but due to his age on diagnosis and his clinical presentation the vet believes this is likely sustained damage and subsequent deterioration from an ingested substance or illness (given his trainer has a doping charge, this tracks). That being said he's twelve months in (median survival rate for his staging is 200 days) and still one of the healthiest kidney patients our clinic has seen, even without being on one of those prescription renal diet foods.
There's a really great book by Dr Conor Brady that breaks down the actual science behind the dry vs raw debate, I definitely recommend a read if you're interested in nutrition.
I also always recommend Storey’s Guide to Raising Ducks, it’s pretty much the only book you need on the subject, and was so helpful to me as a new duck keeper, especially since I didn’t know active in real life with ducks.
You sound like someone who knows no one in China, has never been to China, and just swallows whatever the TV spoonfeeds you.
If you decide to approach this with an open mind, I'd recommend giving this book a read.
>In March 2020, liberal democracy ground to a sudden stop.
Like the Reichstag Fire of 1933, historians may never know how SARS-CoV-2 came about. For scientists, exploring its origins would be a rewarding endeavor if it weren’t precluded by an immovable force—the jackboot of Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party.
But while intelligence agencies spent months investigating the virus’s origins, the world employed an unprecedented response that proved far more devastating than the virus itself, leading to the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, widespread hunger, and the disappearance of countless lives and livelihoods. Across the world, governments implemented measures modeled on the mass quarantines imposed in China, commonly referred to as “lockdowns.”
It was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe since the Second World War, and the largest man-made famine since the Great Leap Forward. And it was all for nothing. Lockdowns had never been about science. Rather, they’d sprung into global policy on the order of the CCP princeling who would become the most influential member of the Baby Boom generation; an aberration thrust upon the world through an unprecedented, international influence operation.
By corrupting global institutions, promoting forged data, publishing fraudulent science, and deploying propaganda on an unprecedented scale, the CCP under Xi Jinping transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into “science,” the greatest crime of the 21st century to date. This is the story of how he did it, and why.

Great read. Lockdowns is a Chinese attack on the world

> > But the one thing you can't change is that people need to be physically around other people to function properly, and to be... well, mammals. And primates.
> i have social outlets for that
I see you missed the paragraph immediately below where I explained that people start shitting on each other as the enemy/other if they don't get face to face interaction regularly. Even introverts. External Social outlets won't help your situation in the workplace where you have to work with coworkers, and perform minimal social grooming to not get eviscerated.

and remember that nearly all of that firmware is still running on us, which is why assholes like Newt Gingrich viewed this book as one of their absolute favorites. It's kind of like a set of cheat codes for humanity.

They didn't vote with their feet last time. What makes you think they'll vote with their feet this time. They can do math, and they make higher margins living in Seattle than they would in Columbus, Ohio.
My partner and I fostered a feral mama’s babies earlier this year, and it was amazing! We’ve been feeding her, her siblings, and their mom on our porch since she was a kitten, and she gave birth on a makeshift bed under a chair that we set out for them to keep them warm in the winter.
Here are some things we found very useful (these are all assuming you are planning on raising them): - Large dog kennel to keep them in. We fit a cardboard box with blankets, a heating pad, and a small litter box to the side for mom. - KMR (kitten milk replacement) and baby cat/mother wet food to feed mom (contains extra fat that she’ll need) - Kitten Lady’s book on caring for newborn kittens (get on Amazon for ~$21 here. Her book focuses on raising kittens without a mom, but has great tips for all newborn kittens, and raising them with their mom is many times easier! - Eventually you’ll need to find a vet that will be able to spay/neuter and vax them all. There are likely places that have bulk or feral discounts. They may also be able to help advertise them for you. - Kitchen scale to keep track of their weight.
Please follow up with an organization working with feral colonies. A lot of feral kittens can be worked with and made into house cats... once they hit 12 weeks, they're pretty much feral for life. If you get them to an organization quickly (the sooner the better), you can literally be guaranteeing them a longer and less stressful life.
(I know this from reading the Kitten Lady's book, "Tiny But Mighty: Kitten Lady's Guide to Saving the Most Vulnerable Felines" )
You should get Hannah shaw’s book most information on kitten care can be found there.
Would highly recommend this book. Great insights into why you should feed raw and the benefits of raw feeding. Feeding Dogs Dry Or Raw? The Science Behind The Debate https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/1916234003/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_5DRVYWWSH48VHDCWFGWP

That's a great book on the subject. I can go dig up some papers online if you want more.
Congrats! I suggest this book (no I don’t get paid for it):
Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks, 2nd Edition: Breeds, Care, Health https://www.amazon.com/dp/1603426922/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_jom9Fb6M71CYG
That book will tell you everything you need to know.
Had my own flock of runners for a couple of years now. So fun! Lots of eggs. Insect pests are gone. Lawn is fertilized. I am entertained. Pretty hard to find a con! I just hatched out 7 more.
Good luck!
Average Runner should lay about 330 eggs per year. Mine took almost six months to get ramped up. Here’s what I suggest (this worked for me!):
- Provide at least 15 hours of light per day in their coop
- buy a half-dozen or so prosthetic eggs and distribute them to likely nest areas
- start feeding them some kitten or cat food
Should start laying within two weeks. If not, check for bullying, provide a larger coop, etc.
This book has answers to your questions and everything else besides.
Good luck!
Spend as much time as you can with him. This is the window of socialization. I'd go to Amazon and immediately download Tiny bit Mighty. It's in sale right now for $8 https://www.amazon.com/Tiny-But-Mighty-Vulnerable-Felines-ebook/dp/B07KNSCL7T/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=kitten+lady&qid=1604350239&sprefix=kitten+Lady&sr=8-3
This will give you all the information you need in order to socialize your new family member as well as what to watch for health wise.
Kitten Lady also has great informative videos on her YouTube channel.
I just sprinkle some on top when I refill their food. Referencing my favorite duck book, it says: - 0-2 weeks of age: 35mg of niacin per 0.5kg of feed - 2-10 weeks: 30mg of niacin per 0.5kg of feed
I've read that dog parks are where most dog-biting another dog incidents take place. A lot of people take them as an opportunity to let their dogs run around freely and do whatever they want with minimal supervision. I don't know about this, but it was a good enough reason for me not to take mine to one. There are plenty of dogs and space where I live, so that minimizes the attractiveness of a dog park for me.
I think it might be a better thing to practice walking on a leash where there aren't many other dogs or distractions.
>the biggest trick is going to be keeping her next to the mess as I clean up
Make her stay there (of course, without being abusive). Don't give her the option. Never let her get the idea that she's the boss -- which can easily be done without being mean. As long as you're there dealing with it, she should be too. She will get the message and eventually come to you when she needs to go out. You just need to be alert to her behavior and figure out how she is communicating this to you.
If the rest of your family are suckers for the puppy eyes, maybe you should try that on her.
I read this book about a year after I got me dog. It was very helpful (and interesting). It explains a lot that you might find of use:
The Dog’s Mind: Understanding Your Dog’s Behavior by Bruce Fogle
You might be able to get it from a public library.
It's the same delusion people who are pro-guns buy into - they think they'll be the best ones off in an anarchic situation, that they're the only ones who'll have stability and 'come out on top'; but they forget that others can form groups just as easily as them, and that sooner or later they're either outclassed by a better orator or more powerful leader, or are just the target of a coup themselves.
As soon as they realize that they're left to intro-sophmoric level 'but you should all regulate X away so I can control this situation again!!1" straw-grasping, which as pointed out is a 180 into statism, but at that point they're too desperate and disillusioned to even notice.
It's not called 'anarchy' for no reason.
This was a great coloring book to use when you are learning and practicing anatomy. I may not need to be able to name the muscles, but it is helpful to understand how the body fits together. I used this during my animal anatomy class as supplementation and it really helped. https://smile.amazon.com/Veterinary-Anatomy-Coloring-Book-2e/dp/145577684X/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1488689066&sr=8-10&keywords=anatomy+coloring This book was one of our textbooks for the anatomy lab, I treated it like a coloring book too. Since it is all black and white, it was more helpful to see everything in color. https://smile.amazon.com/Pictorial-Anatomy-Cat-Gilbert/dp/029595454X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488689245&sr=8-1&keywords=anatomy+of+the+cat
Hope that this helps!
> Ended up in the sort of monotonous, sickly fascinated stupor I find myself in now where I wonder if the world isn't just mostly populated by people who will pay and cheer every day just to see a monkey fling shit at a photo of a person they don't like.
If you can take any non core classes (maths, science etc.)that don't rely on passing Anatomy in the upcoming semester. I highly recommend taking your time, don't go for the full course load. Most programs are designed to get it over with as fast as possible and they have unrealistic expectations. So if you can take the extra time do it! Also there's a fantastic Anatomy coloring book that got me through those classes. http://www.amazon.com/Veterinary-Anatomy-Coloring-Book-2e/dp/145577684X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448610143&sr=8-1&keywords=veterinary+anatomy+coloring+book Don't give up hope, and feel free to PM if you just want to vent/talk.
I used to love watching the big hits as well, but as I've gotten older I have a much harder time with it. I think part of it is when I was younger I didn't realize the gravity of the injuries whereas now I can put myself in the players shoes a lot better.
As to why - we are violent species. Read Chimpanzee Politics. It will explain a lot.
Regarding the number of kids that die playing the sport, did you know that 40k people die each year in in America in car wrecks? That over 90k people die each year in America due to medical mistakes? That means on average 246 people died today due to a medical fuck up and 109 died in a car wreck. But no one mourns them like a football player because they aren't famous or playing a game for a living.
I'm not trying to belittle the impact of the football injuries. I'm just trying to put it in perspective with common non-illness causes of death in this country. I haven't run the numbers but I'm willing to bet the incidence of football related death is much lower than those two categories.
The Pitcairn book is fairly good, although I think he's a little heavy on vegetable matter- but it's from decent sources, like millet, which may be more affordable to those who need to make do.
Raw and cooked food options may be more affordable here in the US, where food is so heavily subsidized that it's ridiculous how inexpensive meat is. I can get beef heart for under $1/pound when I buy 60-pound cases. We have food co-ops that help increase availability of organ meat; I don't know quite so much about the European options, but you might check at your butcher store, see what's inexpensive.
I would consult a good vet and do lots of research, maybe from your local library? What you're feeding sounds pretty good to me, but keep your eyes open for vitamin supplements or fish oils. I'd recommend Dr. Pitcairn's book and anything else you can get your hands on.
