    Looks like he'd have a real sweet snuggle buddy to show him the ropes. He can gain his confidence by watching Jasper chill out until he's ready to meet the rest of the herd.
    Jasper has definitely been spending lots of time with the little guy!! I can't leave them unattended because Jasper occasionally likes to roll on kittens and I'm concerned that he would squash Crumpet, but I try and keep them together as much as I can.

    I've introduced him to Applesause too! (Broke quarantine a little early...) They are quite a happy pair, and thay are almos thte same weight even though Applesauce is ~3 weeks younger. Applesauce is a MOOSE of a kitten, he's enormous!!

    I'm sure glad Applesauce and Crumpet are getting along. Once Crumpet gains some weight, I can imagine a lot of wrestling going on. Since Applesauce is almost Jasper-size, I imagine that it will be a while before Crumpet wins any of the matches.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    I have had success cuddling kittens to my chest so they can hear my heartbeat. Years ago I tamed a 3 month old kitten who was a holy terror. I wore my leather jacket and heavy gloves so she wouldn't have an effect if she scratched or bit. Within a month she was giving belly and I could trim all claws, fore and aft. (I wonder what ever happened to Mouse.)
    I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!
