    You are doing just fine by the sounds of it so well done! Great that they have had a wee too - at least they aren't over dehydrated.

    Get a bottle of wine out and be prepared for a long ol' night!

    I once rescued 2 mother cats and 9 (yes 9!) kittens :eek: but one of the mother cats was so unmaternal it was ridiculous, so it was down to me and the other mother cat to feed them every 2 hours! Nice!.....

    Am now the 'proud' owner of 12 cats and whilst I don't look like the mad cat woman on The Simpsons, I am referred to as such!

    Also, some 'Pets at Home' stores (if you have one nearby?) have an instore vet, so they may be open tomorrow if you need any more info, plus any pet shop should sell something called 'Lactol' which is a milk substitute for kittens (and puppies).

    It's more or less the same sort of thing as baby milk - powdered stuff in a tin that you add water to.

    Of course, there will be plenty of online info and help too if you do a google on it. :)

    Make sure you rub their tummies and under their tails with a damp tissue frequently. It will mimic the action of the mother licking them and make them void.

    Oh and as for wiggling and twitching, well they do sort of move about like numptys quite a bit! But they should be sleeping a fair bit too (unless they are having WAY too much fun in your bra ;) ), so again, if you are concerned have a chat with mad cat woman neighbour :D or the vets. Vets will be happy to give free advice over the phone. :)

    put a fluffy toy wih the in the basket/box so they think its mum to cuddle up to.
    would also reccommend the powered milk from any pet shop (lactol)
    by wiping their bums this is what theirs mums do to get them to poo a wetwipe will do . Good luck
