The kitten, I mean. Flower, one of the older cats, is still sick, so I needed to take her to the vet anyway. I shoved Flower in a carrier - that was a fight I might add. She's pretty sick, but not so sick she didn't fight going in the carrier. Then we put Opal in the "cleaning cage" the wife has for her hamster. I took them to the vet. While the vet was treating Flower, the tech took Opal and got her to do a bowel movement, we could hear her screaming in the other room. After I got home, Opal opened her right eye. That puts her between 7 and 10 days now. So, another 2-3 weeks of bottle feeding Opal. I hope its easier to get her onto solid food than it was with Oliver...

I hope Opal will learn to eat dry food early, it's a lot of work to give them bottles.

I don't expect her to be eating dry food until she's 6 or 8 weeks old. She'll probably start on wet food about 4, but might still need some supplemental feeding.

@LadyDuck The picture of Kismet is from when we first got her. That was 6 years ago.

@ElicBxn A lot of patience is needed with kitten, but they are so lovely.

I hope she will eat solid food soon. I am also waiting for my four kittens to do the same thing.

Kismet right after being rescued 6 years ago
It will be a few weeks yet. Kismet was on solids at 3 weeks, but she was pretty pitiful looking when she was rescued. I've included a picture of Kismet shortly after being rescued.

So now you know for sure. It's so difficult sometimes when they're that young. What's happening with Flower?

Flower has an URI, she's wheezing and not eating. Speaking of Flower - pill time!

Thank you. She looks like a grey jellybean most of the time right now.
