About two weeks before I had to put down my eight-year-old Judy, a man brought this little four-week-old kitten to me. It had been injured slightly such that it had difficulty walking. Little Smokey was put int the kennel with a box of dirt, a folded blankie, some food and water. For two weeks he was fed every four hours with baby formula through a syringe. Before the second week was over, he started eating the kitten chow and drinking water. The most amazing thing about this little guy is that he has never missed the litter box.

At seven weeks of age, I began letting him out of the kennel during the day. I needed a little time to train myself to not slam the recliner closed. I sleep in the recliner. He turned an estimated eight weeks old on Saturday 10 Nov 2018. Since I do not believe in coincidence, I think that Smokey was sent to me for a reason.

The only bad thing about this cat is his flatulence. It is horrible! But he knows who "Smokey" is. He usually comes when called. And boy, does he play. Makes me tired just watching him. We already love this little guy, and look forward to watching him grow!
Hello, adorable kitten Smokey! Happy Cat of the Day!

What a sweet little one you are! Your kitten face, and your striped fur - precious!

I agree that you came to your forever home for a reason. I am so sorry your person lost Judy at just eight years old. You started on kitten formula and advanced to kitten chow and water - and never missed your litter pan!

Your person has learned not to close the recliner and now you are out of your kennel during the day. You are getting very good at playing! You are learning to come when you're called, too! With regard to the flatulence, maybe try a different kitten food? I am by no means an expert on raising tiny kittens, so I'm hoping some of my friends will have more to say.

Sweet, adorable Smokey - happy eight week birthday! I hope you will have a very long and happy life with your caring family!
