Why don't you just send her a message and suggest that she might harm the kittens from feeding them like that and ask if she could change the picture as it's misleading to other people  :shy:

I don't actually think people will trawel Ebay looking for tips on hand feeding kittens.  :innocent: But not a very experienced rearer there for sure. She'll flood kitties mouth like that, that's if she doesn't end up drowning the poor mite.  :(

Not a good image for people to see on eBay? - people might think iot must be the proper way as that is how a rescue does it  :(

I can't remember the name but I read that cats are very prone to getting liquid into their lungs. I'm sure milk could kill?

Even I have a proper kitten bottle - it has tiny, long teats and is banana shaped.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Am I wrong in thinking the kitten in the photo is being held wrong?  :scared:

I know they are doing good work but I thought that kittens could choke if held like this?
