After I rescued four two-week-old kittens who were orphaned when their mother was killed, I became "momma cat" and started feeding them kitten formula with a syringe.

At that point, they had never shown any signs of it.

"No, they haven't had hiccups," I said.

"They will," vet said with a smile. "It happens sometimes when they eat too fast."
