I'm back from the vet with Sian. Well, the vet is ALMOST positive this is a female

He even used a flashlight to check. I guess time will tell.

Anyway, from her weight, etc, he said I was right about her being 4 weeks old. Other than the eye discharge issue, she's very healthy. In fact, she was absolutely playful, both while in the car and in the treatment room. The vet was glad to hear about the poop AND her healthy appetite.

So, all is well and she stole the hearts of everyone.

After I have some coffee and a bagel, she's going to get a bath. What I didn't notice until I got to the vet was that she had tromped through the litter box and had quite a collection of poop on her butt, legs and paws. Naturally this was the one time I didn't have any wet wipes in the car.

She's in her apparent favorite spot, the corner of my computer desk.

Some nights, when I can't sleep, I watch the live stream from the Djuma Dam Can. I've had to put something over the keyboard to keep them from whacking things up. This is the same laptop from which Sophie managed to dislodge the "U" tile.

Fortunately they are more apt to stretch out and watch the stream with me.

I have a laptop as well.

Kira loves to lay on it, and just sleep.

At the moment, she's on my bed, curled up into a little ball of grey fluff.

She has certainly stolen mine even over a computer screen. In person must be completely irresistible.

At first she just didn't know what to do so I was coating my finger in the mixture and she'd lick it clean. Then I kept lowering my finger closer to the food. I think she FINALLY caught on. This will make feedings much easier because she won't have to eat as often and I might get more than 3 hours of sleep.
