Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Be sure that Okoye is eating a good quality kitten food like Purina, Hill's or Royal Canin. She should be dewormed a few times. Around 7-8 weeks she should see the Vet for the first time and be feline leukemia and FIV tested, dewormed and given her first vaccination. At less than 8 weeks old she should only weigh around 2 lbs. Cats feel warmer than us. Theire body temperature is normally 100-102. If she is eating and active I wouldn't worry that she feels warm. I hope this helps!
