While out for a walk yesterday, I found a kitten alone in the woods. I'm not sure how old he is, nor if he's really a he. He's red/cream with white but is long-hair so I'm having trouble seeing his bits clearly. He weighs 1lb 7.4oz and is still a little bit wobbly, does not quite have self-grooming down, but his eyes are olive and he is eating solids, pooing solid... but not litter-trained.
If somebody could help me with his age, I think between 6 and 7 weeks maybe? And also his gender, I would appreciate it.
Here is video of him playing on my bed, showing his motor skills:
And playing with a ball:
Here is a head shot to show facial development:
Another, because he's so darn cute:
And his bits (I had to greatly adjust brightness and contrast to make it more clear):
While getting that photo, I saw a flea run by. =/ I'm going to call tomorrow and get him in to the vet ASAP for flea treatment, combo testing, and deworming. Hopefully they'll start his shots as well even if he isn't old enough.
I have two other cats I've kept this kitten quarantined from, after he gets cleared from the vet, do you think he'd be able to be litter trained by them or am I in it for the long haul? Also, is there any special grooming needed for long-hairs other than getting them used to being brushed? What can I do about the flea until I can get into the vets (a warm bath and flea comb)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks!
