No eye discharge, this morning. I'm going to clean up any residue so that I can rest easy the problem is resolving.
Her appetite remains good, her litter box is being used, and she is VERY playful and curious. All in all, she is pretty much the perfect kitten. I can't wait until I can bring her down from the guest room. Meanwhile, I'm up there to check on her, quite often. And, of course, we play. I've changed her feeding schedule to every 6 hours and that seems to be working, just fine. The vet was well pleased with her weight and I will try and weigh her, every other day, to make sure she's gaining. IF she will cooperate.
A potential mom will be here Memorial Day weekend. More on that, later.

(222,361 posts)Terrific that she's cooperating. Ad she looks so much like my Felix - who I found as a kitten (the vet said 7 weeks) in a supermarket parking lot back in 2014. Except it sounds like your kitten is much more cooperative. I don't have too many pix of Felix as a kitten since he wouldn't hold still long enough...

Arthur is absolutely fascinated by what's on the other side of that door!! I think I'll start a very slow introduction, maybe tomorrow.

And it does sound like your kitties get along pretty well - and are accepting of a new family member. Wishing you the best of luck!

(27,298 posts)When Arthur and his siblings were that tiny, all FOUR would climb up, at the same time! It's much easier with just one.

She's getting accustomed to the photo taking.

(2,780 posts)I have always had a black cat with me! Last year at this time I had six...two adults and their kittens. Now the menagerie is back down to the adults: two sleek black and and one tabby floofmonster. (Miss Katonic, Ulthar and The Grey Mouser.)
Black cats are wonderful. I think of them as "Minimalist Cats". Without the decorative patterns and colors of other felines, I have the essential creature in all its feline grace!

(92,766 posts)She sure cleaned up nicely. She sounds really healthy. Hope that keeps up. Will be interesting to see how things go when she starts to see the others.

(27,298 posts)And I have to be careful when I open it because Sian might be right there.
Madoc and Gryff are just 'meh' about the whole situation because this isn't their first kitten rodeo.
Just like I pictured it. The younger two would be most interested. Sounds like fun, though!
I didn't get much done yesterday because my buddy called early and invited me to go for a drive to investigate an antique truck he's looking to buy. It was over 200 miles out so it was an all day trip. But it rained! A real good soaker day so all my new seedlings and planted stuff is having a great day. And it will be raining off and on even after that heat wave gets here next week. Could be a decent gardening year this time around.
Give Sian a cuddle for me!
