LOL Too funny. I'm glad that he was able to encourage the kitten to pee in the box. If he still didn't use the box I was going to suggest that you buy some Cat Attract Litter from Petsmart. I was told that Alani and Blaze's whole litter didn't use the box either until they bought Cat Attract litter. Then they went without any problems. Both of my boys have already peed in their litter box today without any problems and I'm now using Dr. Elsey's Premium Choice Unscented Clumping Litter.

Finally found my baby scale at home (from when I did rescue and had sick cats to weigh weekly), and I weighed Sebastian tonight.

Can you believe that after being with us for one week he only weighs in at 1.30 lbs??! He's so stinking tiny!!! Eats really well, but gosh is he tiny!

I'm going to keep on weighing him weekly and see how he does gaining weight. I want him to be big and strong, not big and fat, lol.

Sebastian is an awesome name, i love it, i was going to suggest Ash after my big old grey RB kitty,but you have given him the purrfect name, he is adorable, so darn cute, just want to reach into the computer and kiss him and cuddle him.

There are special foods to help Kittens get big and strong
But dont be surpised when Sebastien suddenly becomes a Big Furry Puurry Cat right before eyes
Its magicwith your Do It Yourself Cat Kit
Take a Kitten, add Love and TLC and Presto you have a Big Happy Cat.

Yep, I've seen it work that way time after time. Ming was three pounds when I got him, just a tiny little thing. He now weighs twenty pounds! Love and cat food, yep.

Took Sebastian to the vet today, and the only friends he has on him are ear mites, lol. Thank goodness no other friends!!

He weighs in at 2.2lbs, and is about 8 weeks old. Dr. Hess said he should grow into a handsome blue and white tabby boy! I thought he was a tuxie, but he has some gorgeous marbling coming in on his sides, so he's gonna be a tabby.

We go to a clinic appointment on the 14th and he gets FIV/FeLV tested, and his shots. That should be a fun day for the little guy, lol. I'm hoping he's negative for both tests. I'm nervous because the clinic person I talked to said there's been an increase in Feline Leukemia recently. That's the one thing I don't know if I could handle. FIV I could, and have one cat already that is FIV+, but he's old and has hardy any teeth. None of my guys are aggressive so I'm not worried about any transmission of FIV, but Feline Leukemia scares me.

Please keep Sebastian in your thoughts and say some prayers that he tests negative for both diseases.

Prayers for a perfect checkup for Sebastian. I LOVE that little pic of him in your siggy.

[Pinot's Mom]

Prayers for the poor little (TABBY!!!) Sebastian; grow up big, strong and healthy (AND A TABBY!!) little guy!

I'm totally impartial - no preference (FOR TABBIES) at all!

[Laura's Babies]

A TABBY! What a change but he is still cute so who cares?

[3Catcondo]

Love your signature pics of him!!! Prayers going up that he gets good results of his tests.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that he only has ear mites and nothing else like internal parasites. I hope that his FIV/FeLV test goes well. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. He sounds like he'll turn into a very handsome boy.

Sebastian resting after a long day of play!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm so glad to hear that he's FIV/FeLV negative. Hopefully his earmites will go away soon. I've found that since I have two kittens, that my cats aren't bugged as much because they play and wrestle together and wear each other out. Just something to think about. I hope that the introductions go smoothly. Good luck.

I'm so glad that he's "pest free". Have you tried swabbing his ears w/olive oil? That's what my old vet told someone else to do and it worked. Just a thought.
