Say what you like about the unreliability of teh internetz, but when it comes to looking up what to do with rescued animals, they are made of win. A couple of years ago I managed to hand rear a wild baby hare, thanks to an obscure website that explained how to feed them powdered cat milk and fennel tea through a syringe (they have very delicate digestive systems and cat milk is the only thing they can tolerate). And now, when I was getting worried that the little boy cat had spent all afternoon with us without once operating his plumbing system, I found out that you can stimulate kittens to crap by rubbing their little tummies and wiping their genitalia and bottoms with wet cotton wool. So I did this, and my mother cat impression worked perfectly. We popped him in the litter tray straight afterwards and he immediately produced a steaming pile of smelly stuff.

I know it's an lj cliche, but I think I am going to have to put up a picture of them, because they are So Bloody Sweet. Also of the dog, so she doesn't feel left out.
