Meet my new little boy

[Karen]

Aww, glad to hear he is doing well! And of course the vets were charmed by him!

Oh my!!! what a cute kitten your George is. I am convinced that orangie males have the very best purrsonalities. It seems to me that we once did a PT poll or thread and discovered that orange males do have some genetics that are good natured and calm It will be great fun to watch George grow up!

He is so adorable!!! Bet he will soon have Sissy wrapped around his paws!!! She just considers him an intruder at this point. When she learns he is gonna stay, hopefully, she will calm down.

Congratulations!!!

Kay - I'll bet soon that Sissy will be running and playing with him, and with all the energy that they both have, it will sound like a stampede running thru the house. Wolfy loves his kitty playmates, and Luke is just as rough and tumble as Wolfy is. This morning Wolfy got a little too rambunctious tho, and was trying to drag Luke around by his ear. Needless to say, Wolfy took a paw full of Luke's claws to his nose. They keep me laughing tho.

Hello Folks,
I have a kitten food question & a progress report. I could put the food question on Cat Health but I want to keep all of George in one place for awhile if it's ok, sort of like a Journal I guess.

First, I cannot believe the progress that the pups & George have made with each other. In a way it seems as if George has been here for months rather than since April 13. Sissy Pom & George actually play together (sort of chase each other) while LilGirl watches. Yes, Sissy has stopped that incessant barking & LilGirl doesn't growl at him nearly as much. Also I feel safe now for George to be alone with both of them as he has showed that he can protect himself if necessary & the pups aren't scared of him any more. George is no longer in my bed but now stays in the den with Sissy at night & I've brought LilGirl back to my bedroom. Little George is a sweetie with his purring & good personality but his claws & teeth HURT me when he played at night while I was trying to sleep.

Now here's my kitten food question. What is a good dry kitten food? I'm thinking Grain Free & perhaps Blue Buffalo Wilderness. When I got George he was on some kind of dry CAT food (not kitten I think) & I have been gradually giving him Purina Kitten mixed with his old food. Ever since I got him his stools have been very soft & sometimes diarrhea. I took him back to vet & got some Metro, some packs of probiotic, & some Hill's A/D canned food at $2.30/can. I can feed him that for awhile but don't want to have to take out a loan to feed him LOL. He is a little pig in the eating department--a can a day. I'm gradually adding the Purina kitten food but I'm not sure it agrees with George. I hate to buy many bags of different food because it's expensive for trial & error so I'd like to find one at the start that is good for him.

What do you all think of Dry Blue Buffalo Wilderness-Kitten? Do you think it will help with his soft stools? Do we agree that Grain Free is better than with grain?

BTW as of today 4.24, his eyes are still blue.
Thanks.... Kay

Congrats! You sure picked a very cute little kitten and you can never go wrong with an orangie. I know I haven't been here in a while but when I read about him, I just had to take the time to read this thread and make a comment. From my experience, most of my kittens have had some loose stools. I would try to feed him a grain free diet if possible. There are a lot more to choose from now. Good luck and please keep the pictures coming.

Here's some photos taken Apr 23 2014. I do enjoy taking closeup pics of George with his blue eyes but would enjoy also if/when they turn green. In the future I hope to have some videos to show up of George and Sissy Pom playing.... Kay
