OY.... what to do?! #71 Sebastian Update

[jennielynn1970]

Well, let's see, we can keep him.

We can try to find out if he came from the local farm.

We can keep him.

We can see if anyone at camp is missing a 5 week old kitten (doubtful).

We can keep him.


Ok... so I guess we can keep him.


So now, what to name him? BARNEY maybe?!

[jennielynn1970]

OH yeah, Dave found a kitten, lol. He was driving up to the gate at Sunny Rest, thought he saw a wounded squirrel, or something weird, and pulled over. Seems it was a kitten. A very cute and socialized one at that.

He's currently sleeping on Dave's neck, lol. So sweet and innocent looking!

Aww, he looks so dapper in his custom grey tuxedo! Maybe he could be a Dimmick - my friend the Etiquetteer is Robert Dimmick and always in favor of dressing properly!

Awww...Smokey was the first thing that popped into my head. Cutie patootie! Kisses!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Well you did say you wanted a kitten and now you have one. I'm getting kitten fever too. I hope he's a healthy little boy. Congrats and good luck.

[GILL]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

Jenn,

Rule #1 in rescue: If you named it, it's yours. Need I say more???

[Taz_Zoee]

So, did you decide on a name? Are you going with Charlie's suggestion of Flash(er)?

I can't wait to see more pictures!! Hint hint!

[lizbud]

still no name.... Thinking about Finnegan the Flasher, lol. I love both of the names, lol.

He slept with me last night, all curled in a teeny tiny ball. Gosh he's precious!! Right now he's on "his" pillow.... I think he claimed it this AM... and is snoozing next to Dave. All he's been doing is sleeping and eating.

He's fighting off a cold, I've been washing his eyes off to get the eye boogers off them. Need to get an appt. for him at the vet up here. Want to get him checked out and any meds for the cold if it gets worse. It was so rainy when we found him, we thought it was the rainy and the cold... it was in the 60's and cold for this time of year. He's still a bit sniffly, but not too bad. Will get him in to the vet as soon as I can get an appt.

Have more pics, but need to download them from my camera, and my dock is at home Will try to get to do that this weekend.

Oh my my such a wittle Cutie Pie.. Such a very lucky wittle boy that you found him.. I hope he gets over his cold soon.. Thats a good idea of taken him to the Vets.. Keep us posted ok.. Oh Yes Keep Him for sure..

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yep, he looks like a keep to me for sure!!!

He may have a slight respitory infection from being outside in the rain. The vet's magic antibiotic should clear that right up for him.

How sweet that he has his own pillow already. Doesn't take them long to move right into your house and heart does it?

[jennielynn1970]

one issue has popped up.... LITTER BOX USAGE. Or non-usage.

Would it be good to crate train him so that he knows to use the litter box? I don't see any other way of doing it. I've been putting him in the litter box after eating, after sleeping, after playing... nada. He goes and poops in a corner instead, lol. Dave is NOT thrilled. Me, I just laugh and chalk it up to him being such a youngster. He's gotta be about 5 weeks old, just soooooo teeny tiny.


No names have stuck yet but Baby. Thinking of Finnegan the Flasher though! Thanks to Candace and Jen Luck's Charlie for that combo!!

[Taz_Zoee]

Sorry I can't help. I've actually never box trained a cat before. Or if I have it was so long ago I don't remember.
Cathy trained Paizly before I got her (Thank you Cathy!!), and Jax was trained when I got him too.
I know a friend had a kitten and they would just grab her and put her in the box every time she even looked like she was thinking about going potty. That's probably what I would do. And when you can't watch him keep him in the crate or bathroom with the box. But others have already said this.

[jennielynn1970]

I'm using the crystals for his litter... maybe I should change that to regular litter???
