I have been looking/reading on this site for a week so I thought I should come by and introduce my self and the newest member of our family. "Makau", to be orphaned in Hawaiian, is a 3.5 week old little boy who loves my lap. I have had him for about a week and never had one this young with out a mama. (My parents were breeders when I was in high school but that was a while ago!!!) Just today he started to lick up his formula off of a lid so we are moving right along. I am hoping to be able to sleep through again but for right now his needs are more important (its like having a newborn all over again). Thank you for all the info on this site!!! It has been really helpful to remember what it is like to have a cat and the needs of this little bundle of mew.
