Hi it sounds like you may have to supplment your kittens feeding if the mother cat s not interested. Please see my pages here about how to care for kittens and what they need.
Here is the first page of several

As for the tail, well it sounds to me like their may be a genetic problem which may not right itself I would get a vet to atke a look at it soon in case something can be done at this early stage.
