Hi, am looking for some advice...I am in a jam, as of yesterday, my kitten's
mother won't feed him - I'm not sure why, she just seems to have lost
interest, or maybe her milk supply has dried up?

This kitten is 18 days old, and is half-Bengal.  The mother is not the
Bengal parent.  This was the only kitten in the litter, (one-pack).  The mom
will be fixed after this, it was an accident, she got out on me for *15
minutes*!!!  There is an unneutered Bengal male in the neighbourhood.

My other cat (now neutered) had a litter of half-Bengals and they started
lapping at about 5 wks, which I thought pretty early, so I need to keep him
alive for the next two and a half weeks.  I'm scared.

I bought some powdered formula KRM (Kitten Milk Replacement) and a bottle
kit, and finally got one of the nipples working half-decently...he is not
taking to it at all.  He is a bit short of sleep as I have been sort of
trying to get the mother to feed him, so I have been trailing her
around.....

He doesn't seem to like the bottle - will he take the bottle eventually if
he is hungry enough?

Thanks in advance...
