The shock to their system is not handled and they start to fade. Just remember, you cannot give them too much good stuff. Oh, and make sure that they have access to fresh water. They won't really know what it is right now, but they will quickly figure it out.
It seems like they aren't drinking any water at all! I make sure they have fresh at all times, but I've never seen them drink it.
Maybe they are getting enough with the formula?
We are going to the vet soon.
The little white one is a climber, LOL. He climbed out of his box, and came waltzing down the hallway into the living room, LOL! I was shocked! The box is pretty high, I never thought he'd be able to climb it. I think he was coming to find me. He always wants me to hold him. I can keep him in my lap almost all the time, he's so tiny you can't tell he's there!
My other cat is finally warming up to them. He was scared of them at first. He's a big scaredy cat, lol. But, he's curled up asleep with 2 of them in their box right now.
