My friend has 2 one day old kittens and their mom has no milk. She bought
Just Born milk replacement and the one baby sucks it right down.. but the
other one refuses the bottle. I tried to at least just get a drop or 2 on
her tongue..but she still fights me. Any ideas on how to get her to accept
the bottle?

Mary, try a small syringe with the needle taken off. You're going to have to
force-feed her somehow or she'll die quickly. Good luck. Poor babies.

but be careful to only do a drip at a time otherwise you will drown it

:-( but

keep trying with the bottle, try rubbing the bottle on the mum to get the
smell which may help.
