We had another scare with bloody stool this morning. Took him straight in to the white coats, where a fecal revealed a single roundworm and nothing else. The vet still thinks he might have coccidia or a bacterial infection. He was given the teeniest dose of dewormer EVER and we were given a bottle of clavamox...though we're not starting the clavamox back up unless the blood re-appears. So far, so good.
The vet did say that otherwise he's in STELLAR health for a kitten his age. She gushed over his thick, soft, clean coat and said that we're doing a fantastic job feeding him up, so that was a huge relief. Also, the entire staff stopped in at some point for a quick snuggle, because he's irresistable!
The little guy is exhusted, so unless he wakes up and looks like he wants out for snuggles, I'm skipping pictures tonight. I'll pick them back up tomorrow!
I hope that he'll continue to do well and thrive in your care. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.
I printed out those pics of Parsley and took them in to my mom in hospital. We have always been nuts for cats in our family.
She just LOVED them! We went for a walk for a while, then she wanted to get back in bed - then she wanted to see them again. :):love:
"Parsley" was also a nickname she had for my sister. "Darcia" became "Darce", then "Parcel" then "Parsley" then "Parsley-Pants"! The latter would be a cute nickname for your little guy. :)
Thanks, Parsley, for brightening my mom's day - and mine too!:love::love::love:
I nearly fell of my chair when I saw that little baby. What a sweet little bundle. It must be an amazing experience to bottle feed a baby animal. What a wonderful job you are doing. The pictures are just to die for!
I hope you keep getting stronger little Parsley :love::love::love:
Snakemomma, I hope Parsley doesn't have Coccidia, roundworm or any other infections. I hope he's still feeding well. I'm so glad the vet said what a great job you are doing! What a darling tiny baby kitten.
Thank you for doing such a great job. Feeding a bottle baby is not easy. He looks like he is going to be a lover. It is just so rewarding to what them grow, makes all the work worth it.
Hi there adorable little Parsley, I just had to come back and see you again! How are you doing, sweetie? I'm sending you plenty of scritchies and lovies :love: :love: :love: :love:
Quick update! I had a REALLY long shift today so photo uploads are going to have to wait, but I wanted to drop in.
We got the official OK to keep him! My hubby talked to his mom and she agreed! I guess we're a three cat household now! Charlie and Sherpa now approach him with friendliness and curiosity, no more hissing! Since Charlie has flare ups of feline herpes occasionally, we're keeping both cats away from direct contact until he's had some vaccines, but the outlook for a peaceful household is good!
When he got upgraded from foster to permanent cat, he also got a new name: Kyuubei! Right now he's asleep in my lap.
Tonight he took his first few licks of KMR from a dish. He lost his balance and face-planted into the KMR partway through, so once he had sneezed it all out he wanted the bottle back, but it was a start!
My dog Jasper is very concerned about all of the goings on with HIS KITTEN, and wants to be involved with all aspects of kitten care. Kyuubei is in return very interested in Jasper, and watches him constantly. I think Kyuubei and Jasper are going to be very good friends.
(Thank you Freedom for sending me to this thread!!)
OMG! It is like opening up a flood of memories of my little Caramella when I first got her!! It brings tears to my eyes just remembering. What a joy it was taking care of a bottle baby and being a year old now.... you wouldn't believe how big she is now and how spoiled she is for her "Mama"..
Goodness, what a joy it was taking care of her and now, I am not sure who takes care of who!
Parsley is so adorable and you will enjoy him so much. All those "first" are wonderful and I am still experiencing them with Caramella...her first bug in the house... her first lizard she saw run across the window.. You are in for so much fun and joy... Enjoy every moment, they grow so fast!!
See how big she is now?

i haven't had the time to visit Pet Talk much - and how very glad I got here today! God bless you mightily for taking care of this tiny one - whose cuteness goes above and beyond! I've never had to care for a bottle baby, but I have a friend who did - even took the kitten to the hospital for the day when she herself had to have tests. (Hubby fed the kitten out in the truck.) Priscilla grew into a gorgeous - also white! - cat. May you all have many, many happy and healthy years together!:love:
How does one pronounce Kyuubei? Just checkin' - and congrats on his becoming a permanent resident, but you really weren't gonna take Jasper's kitten from him anyway, were ya? ;)
It's pronounced cube-ay :) Kyuubei is an adorable little cartoon animal from a series the hubby and I both enjoy.

I also have a white kitten named Kimba who is just about Caramella's age. He was wandering around our apartment complex after his owner had moved and abandoned him! :mad: He, too, is named after a cartoon character that I love. My other two cats are not too fond of him, but that is slooooowly getting better. He has gone froma slightly wild feral into a loving, purring, lap cat. Enjoy your precious baby! Whities are very special furbabies.:love:
Ahh too cute! :love:
I'm glad that you were finally able to make Kyuubei an offical member of your household. Congrats!!!:D I look forward to being able to watch him grow up.:)
I've been bad about photos, but so much has been going on! We changed the spelling of his name to Kyubey to make it easier, LoL. :)

He's getting to be a big boy! Yesterday I set him in a litterbox for the first time and he squatted right away! I'm delighted!
OH MY DEAR LORD............
What a little cutie.
Wen I first 'met' the Edster he fit into the pocket of my t-shirt. This little guy reminded me of those days.
Thanks for taking care of this little one.:D
Aaawww Kyubey is getting cuter by the day:love::love::love: He is soooo handsome- what a wonderful widdle facie:)
Oh, isn't he just the cutest little thing!!!!!

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...Pets/016-4.jpg
Just the sweetest of sweet. I am so glad you are going to keep him, because he has probably grown SO attached to you by now. No one could be his Mom but you!
I love the photos. Keep 'em coming. You know how we DO love our photos!
He is such a love, I would be calling him Lovey, for sure!
:love::love::love::love::love:
Welll, I did get a variety of good ones tonight, so I'll add a few more. He's currently in hubby's lap getting MY snuggles for the evening! Oh well, I'll sacrifice for the little guy!

That is just the most adorable little face... with his big pink shiny nosie and those pink earsies..
TOO STINKIN' CUTE!!! How old is he now?:love::love::love:
ETA: I think I figured it out... 20 days, or 3 weeks old?
Adorable!
Oh he is just adorable! I wonder if this is what my Kimba looked like when he was a kitten?
http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...DSCF0193-3.jpg
What a precious little baby! That sweet face never fails to completely melt my heart. He sure is one lucky little guy to have found the purrfect furever home! There's no question about it, he's thriving with your love and care! Could I ask you to give your adorable, fuzzy little bundle of joy lots of lovies from me? :love: :love: :love: :love:
Now, about that cuteness overload warning.....
Kyubey is getting bigger for sure! He is so darling!
I do believe he was born August 7th, so four weeks. :) He ought to be starting on some solid food, but the first time I gave him a little canned food mixed with KMR he faceplanted into it and snorted it. I think it scared him because now he won't go near the mush I make him. LoL, silly boy.
Gosh he's so cute! and he's growing like weed :eek:
It seems like tomorrow we'll all be celebrating Kyubey's first month :) isn't it great?
Please give him a lot of kisses from me :love::love::love:
OMG I keep looking at the pics . She is soo gorgeous :D. I had a baby my brother found on his construction site under a piece of 2x4 and her mama was trying to kill her probably because she was so disformed but to me it made me love her so much more. She had thumbs and back toes that hung by barely anything. When I got her I took her to the vet he said I am not even she sure she is a cat she only walked sideways or hopped around. She was 3 months old and the size of your beauty. I had to bottle feed her and everyone always told me she would be the sweetest kitty because bottle fed kittys are much more affectionate lol they were so wrong she banned anyone and everyone from coming in my house by playing sleeping than attacking the face. Or she would come up while you were sleeping and slap you in the face. But she was my love I even named her after my Idol Lucille Ball. My mom passed 7-12-10 and since I worked non stop my momma spent tons of time with her and right after my momma passed suddenly lucille started acting weird and she passed also. I have another kitty I swear she sees Lucys spirit
