I've raised my cat since it was 1 day old, 2 at very best. It was placed in the ceiling of the apartment I was in by its mom and then she left, taking the rest of the litter with her and leaving this one behind. I can safely say it was ditched because my then-roommate and I had gone to work for a day before coming back and it was still mewing (of course, originally, we just thought it was a sqweaky fan or something and had left thinking management would come fix it while we were gone. Obviously, they never came by.)
She's 3 years old now, and mewed plenty as a kitten. I held her hind-end under warm running water to help her do her business, though she ended up having a shitstorm one day in her carrier because the running water and warm towel didn't help stimulate the bowels. I'm surprised she hadn't died or something, because she was about 2 weeks old at this point and she hadn't defecated ONCE before this point. Scared the Hell outta me, not even the vet could get her to go before then.
Fed her the milk formula from Petsmart as per instructions (the kind that's used for infant cats, racoons, rabbits etc) and went from there. Was kinda nice, she trained herself to go from different kinds of food at the right time. I had no hand in that =P She'd just abruptly stop eating what I gave her for some reason and wouldn't eat anything until I bought her the next-step up on the list. She even litter trained herself without my help.
