I have 1 running water drinker too.
I have to get up between 3-5 and put food in the kitty bowls. Doesn't matter if they are not empty. Usually I add about 6 kibble and go back to bed.
Miss Teddi was bottlefed (by me) from 2 weeks old along with her siblings. She's not at all spoiled!
When I was transitioning them from formula to kibble I mixed the 2 with my stick blender and deposited all kittens with the gruel into the tub. It was hilarious!
I'm glad I had the fun of being kitteh Mom once but don't care to have to do it again! Washing 5 babies like 5 times a day kept me a little busy :mrgreen:
