Fostering Kittens 101
First, weigh kitty at same time everyday.
Next, "stimulate" kitty. Yes, this is gross. Yes, it's an awful name for it. And yes, you actually have to wipe kitty down there so that it can pee and poo. This is what the mom cat would do for them if she was around -- except she would use her tongue instead of a cotton swab.

Now the fun part: feeding!
Time to burp!
"Stimulate" one last time (ew).
Repeat every 4.5 to 6 hours, for the first several weeks.

That's awesome, lol. How long do they have to feed out of the bottle?
They're supposed to start weaning at 4 weeks. But apparently I am blessed with two very stubborn kittens who still insist on bottle nursing at 6 weeks.
