I just swore in yesterday, but there were very few rates available for FebruaryI got a 70 on my ASVABI was told that if I didn't choose a job yesterday, I would not be guaranteed to get into the NavyI just picked anything to lock myself in, but then found out from someone who was in before that the job involves dealing with sewageI feel sick to my stomach when I think about itI do not want this jobI am scheduled to leave on August 11, 2010 for bootcampIs there anyway to change rates before I leave? If so, what are the steps I need to takeThe rate I have now is HT.
My cat is 7 yrsold and still does thatHe was weened from his mother too early due to a respiratory infectionSucking and kneading on things comforts himHe's learned to stop the licking and sucking when I say no, but he continues to kneadI'd rule out other causes.such as being hungry.and then just let them do it if it makes them happy Mine likes to knead on us when we're on the couch, but if we're not in the mood, we can push him away and he stopsIt can be annoying, but mostly, it's a comfort knowing I can comfort him by just letting him do his thingIt's not a big deal.it's just a cat thing.
I have a twelve year old yellow tabby who still sucks/kneads on certain blankets, and stuffed animals, and even tries to do it to my head when he sleeps with meHe wasn't taken from his mother until he was about 7 weeks old, but I guess he still has a wish for his mommyIt seems to be a calming thingI don't think there is any harm in it, as long as what he sucks on won't choke or hurt him.
At five weeks of age kittens are barely eating on their own, if at allThey will not be ready to wean off of mother's milk until at least 8 weeks old; some kittens need to nurse until closer to 12 weeksThey are sucking blankets because they need their motherIf mother is gone then they are hungry and need to be hand fed.
Most people try to hold kittens upside down to feed them but they don't nurse that wayWhen I bottle feed mine I kept them on their stomachs and held the head even with the bottleThey will get use to it after they get a little down them and they realize it is good stuffThey will probably eat about every 3 hours for the first couple weeksIf they don't start eating I would call your VetGood Luck you sound like a caring pet ownerI also used a eye dropper before a bottle that way I knew they were getting enough
