5. I use an eye dropper and a bottle

I give him a very thin slurry via an eye dropper and use the bottle to give him the kitten formula.

Arthur's litter was 3 weeks old when I bright them in with bad eye infections. Until they are old enough to eat from a bowl, feeding 4 tiny kittens is a challenge. Merlin is a breeze, after that.
