I actually try that every meal time. Paul gets a little bit of wet food and they sit next to each other. Molly watches and sniffs HIS food then plays with his tail everytime! Bless paul he is being so patient with her!

When Molly decides to do something she doesn't go half way! Last night I kept annoying her by smearing food on her paws. After cleaning herself she came over to me and started cleaning my feet (a daily occurrence). The thought struck me to try putting the food on my foot. It WORKED! She liked it all off my feet but she wouldn't eat it off the plate so I put some on my hands and so did my husband. She had to clean our hands (she loves cleaning everyone all the time). After doing this for a while I was covered in wet food but she started eating off the plate. I slept through the night and when I got up I offered her a plate and she cleaned it!

Good tip here, fancy feast turkey is smooth pate, no chunky foods. 
Also good about the fish varieties, these do tend to create picky butt kitties who will only go for fish flavors always, which is not what's best for them.


When you've bottle fed for weeks and continue to get up during the night 2 and 3 times to feed, it does get tiresome.  :sobbing:

Molly has been doing so well! She is getting bigger and eating a lot! Paul has become increasingly more interested in her. He keeps waking me up at night because he wants me to open her room so he can see her. They played all morning, running up and down our hallway till they both got tired. This is what I found:

This is so sweet! [emoji]128149[/emoji] I'm so glad to hear that they are getting along so well and playing together. Also that Molly is eating well. You've done a great job. It sure was touch and go there for awhile.

Can anyone believe how big she is??? Molly is 10 weeks old now and eats big kitty food all by herself. She is a pest to Paul and he loves her. Every morning they BOTH crawl into bed with me at 9:30 am and we snuggle. I love my little kitties :)

Aww, so precious! This is sooo incredibly rewarding to see after all that you went through with her and all that we advised you on.

I'm so glad she's become part of your family!

Thank you so much for the update! I was thinking about her yesterday.

She is such a big girl! So content.

Paul, does indeed, appear to love her.

So glad for the happy ending to this story.

Looking at her little belly, I want to go over and cuddle!!

Look how grown up she is!! She is starting to lose her kitten face :( I couldn't wait for her to grow up and be independent and now I want her to alow down. She is still the sweetest most affectionate baby and she still loves her big brother paul. In fact I came home one day and found this...


They had just been cleaning each other and it was precious. Thank you to everyone who helped us through the tough times. It was all worth it :)

She is just precious! It's wonderful to hear that she and Paul are so bonded, and that all of your efforts paid off. You saved her life, and she will be forever grateful to you :).
