Two week old kitten
A two week old kitten's ears and eyes are open and they're beginning to crawl around. Yet, they are still a little blind and they're always looking for the mothers nipples. Whatever you do, when feeding the kitty, DO NOT give the kitten the milk we drink. The lactose in cow's milk is not easily digested and can cause stomach upset. You will need special milk formula for kittens and a baby syringe. Most vets will stock these and will be able to show you how to bottle feed the kitten. When you get home suction some of the milk into the baby syringe and then put a little on the kittens mouth so when he/she licks their mouth he/she'll have a taste of it. Then put the syringe up to their mouth and they open up thinking it the mother's nipple. They'll suckle of course, but be careful to not overflow the mouth. While feeding them give them enough to where their tummy is tight, not too tight. Your vet should be able to tell you how much to give on each feed, and weight the kitten should be per week, so you will have some indicator on how well the kitten is doing.
Feeding is a around-the-clock commitment; you will need to feed the kitten during the night as well as during the day.
At kitten at 2 weeks cannot expel waste on their own. If the kitten has not urinated or pooped after a feed, get a washcloth and dampen it in warm water. Then gently wipe the kittens bottom and genitals. Do not lose confidence if the kitten doesn't urinate or poop right away. It can take a while. Wipe them for at least a minute each time for do it, only wipe them after they eat. The reason you wipe them is because the mother cat would like it's kitten bottom to help it potty.
Kittens can start to be weaned around 6-8 weeks old, although some are happy to try solid food a little sooner. However, during the weaning process the kitten will still need milk feeds.
Go buy your kitten something to play with like a stick with a stringed feather on it, or a little fold up tunnel, or a laser, or a bed, a scratch pole, or any other toy you think you should get. You should have a very happy kitten.
