It appears that George and Neville have both finally figured out how to eat kitten food! I'll share some of what George's new owners shared with me first:
it is a funny thing how we got him weaned. I was eating a piece of pizza with Canadian bacon on it and he seemed really interested so my bf took a little bit and gave it to him. He took it so we got excited and went straight to the store and bought senior wet food and some kitten dry food. He didn't seem interested so we got some more Canadian bacon and scooped some wet food on it and he ate it up. After that he just started eating it and went for the dry food soaked with water. then we left a bowl with formula and he eventually started drinking that up too! we were very excited!
Just a few minutes ago, I was holding Neville and decided to try and get him to eat. I put some wet food on my finger and in the middle of a big meow, I put a mouthful of food in his mouth. Instead of spitting it out, he actually ate it this time! The he licked some more food off of my fingers, and I was able to put him down near the plate of food. He promptly started eating off of that. Hurray! George's success inspired me to try something different, and hopefully we're on the right track now with weaning Neville.

Does this mean that the bottles will soon be retired?
Neville ate again tonight, so as long as I keep on seeing him eat I'd say he's done with bottles. I'll offer formula until the current can runs out. I have another can but will return if it I end up not needing it.
