bengal kitten is "no-name"

No-name is a gorgeous snow spotted male kitten- hand reared from birth.  Katey has done an amazing job in keeping him alive and kicking.  His mums got herself all worked up and found she couldn't cope too well with all her kittens - she was a new mum you see, and didn't really know what she was doing.  His mum bit the top of his head and injured him badly at birth.  By the time he was 24 hours old his head was turning black, so as well as giving him just one tiny drop of antibiotic on his tongue, he also had a drop rubbed into his wound on his head every day.  Gradually his colour came back to normal on his head and it started to heal.  Katey hand fed him every 2 hours to start with until he was a few days old then she extended the night feed, and fed him every 3 hours at night until he could manage to go to every 4 hours at night, and from then on he was doing well enough to gradually give katey a full 6 hours sleep at night.  He has come to me at 4 weeks old to wean along with Peggy's kittens.  Peggy's kittens took to him straight away, and they all snuggle up together.  Its his third day with us now and he is eating along side of Peggy's kittens.  He loves his sloppy cooked chicken and his poo is starting to be a little more solid now.  He doesn't know when to stop eating yet and his belly is still a little bloated but I'm sure that will sort itself out over the next few days.  He's fast asleep as i type this - they are all curled up together with full belly's.  What a lovely site it is to see a kitten that struggled to hang onto life is doing so well, and is obviously so contented with his new friends.
