Oh no. I found a little kitten in the road! (Photo update!)

Congratulations on Tim's new home. A job well done!

Now for my advice.......NO CLUMPING LITTER
That kitten is too young, and the fact that he is making cememnt shows why. Kittens will get wet and then the litter will cement on their fur, and then they'll lick it. VERY bad for the tummy.

I haven't had such young kittens before. Even Lucy was around 16 weeks when I got her. So she and my other cats were ready for prime time when they arrived. Little Timstead had never seen litter before now.....I will let Chris know to switch his litter. They may have already done so. It was pretty comical to hear the story.......sounded like Tim really was trying to cover his food! All he had was water and litter to accomplish his task!

I need to set Tim free from my worry list. I bought him a scratching post today, to give to Chris......and will buy him more kitten food some time next week. Once the Dr. appointments are over, I will set them free of me. I just need to KNOW that he is healthy and neutered before I sign off on him.



Yours truly,

Ms. Worry Wart

SAS, do you think you could get just one more picture before you send
him off on his new life? One is good but, two is better.

His eyes looks watery and they were, as he had just come from the Vet where they dug ear mites from his dear little ears for 1/2 an hour........he eventually had no tears ..... I will look for more photos....I took several...

By the way, I saw his Mom on the road tonight. He looks just like her. She hangs out on the side of the road according to my Vet who lives only a few houses down the road from where I found Tim.

Sallyanne, that last picture is heart wrenching- how good to know that he is better now
He'll be a little cat teenager who is up to no good in no time and never again look so miserbale thanks to you

That picture is a real tear-jerker. What an adorable kitten, and how I would love to see him making cement!
