making a kitten pee

infant kittens do not know how to pee or poop on their own. Normally the mother cat licks to stimulate elimination, so I had to rub tissues or wet cloth against the "area" to make them use the washroom.
I also tried feeding them formula with a syringe, but at one time most of the formula dripped out onto the tissue. They both got plenty to eat though!
It's so funny to watch the kitten in the basket peeking her head up to watch me feed her sister

the best thing is to make sure that you let them put their legs against you to brace - it helps the sphincter to open. Often I hold them upside down (like a baby in my arms, on it's back and with belly up) so that their back legs are up in the air and they push against my hand with the feet to get traction. Wipe gently but firmly on the genitals - it is to simulate the mother cat's tongue licking - use a wet cloth
