Cooter is transitioning to eating from a bowl! Note that it says "transitioning", not "mastering".
We've been feeding him wet food mixed with rice ceareal and kitten milk replacement with a cough syrup syringe. We started showing him the bowl of food mid-meal since he was licking the food off our fingers, in the hopes he would lick it in the bowl, too.
The good news is that he did start to figure it out.
The bad news is that he puts his whole body into the effort. Literally. He crawls into the bowl, mashes his face against the bottom, snorts it up his nose, cakes it over his eyes - when he is done, there is kitten food from the tips of his ears all the way down his body.
Which means that after he is done eating, he gets a bath. Not his favorite thing, so maybe it will motivate him to be more clean at meal time. : )
