    Emaciated kitten

    I'm back with a few more questions about my new kitten. I picked him up on the 14th at five weeks of age. He weighed only 11.6 ounces and yesterday, 9 days later, he weighed 1 lb 3 oz! We're very happy with our baby, and he seems happy as well. But I've never owned a cat with longer fur. Finn's...

    Okay, I just made the video public for now. Not much identifying information in a kitten's face and a bare hand, anyway!

    Thank you! I think I fixed the video. It's just a ridiculous minute of me playing with Finn using my fingers when I really shouldn't, but he's just so irresistible at this age!

    I saw someone say that you fine folk enjoy cat pictures, and my little feline-loving heart could not resist. We have two big cats, siblings from the same litter. I have no idea which one came first, but I think of Horus as older, so I'll start with her. This is Horus! She's a girl with a boy's...

    Emaciated kitten

    Happy to report that in just a few short days Finn has gained 4.1 ounces. He weighed in today at the vet at 15.7 ounces. He's also much more playful than he was the first day or two. I'm hoping this is an appropriate amount of weight for him to have gained in three and a half days. He's also...

    Emaciated kitten

    His little tummy is rather round, and his gums are pink. He must have been starving indeed, or at least convinced that he might not get another meal for a while, because we fed him four times yesterday, and he dove in every time, and he dove in this morning, but then abruptly he stopped doing...

    Emaciated kitten

    The little guy actually doesn't seem to recognize dry food as something edible. I tried crating him overnight with some dry food, but at 1 am he was howling and we fed him some wet. I haven't seen him show any interest in the dry kibble at all. Any advice about piquing his interest in it? Finn...

    Emaciated kitten

    I picked up a five-week-old kitten this morning from a private rescuer. This was a kitten born to a barn cat and given to the rescuer with his siblings at three weeks of age. She's been raising them since. We talked in detail prior about what my kitten's needs would be at five weeks, and I felt...
