Kitten who can't move

Looks like he's growing as well. If the other cats will let him follow around they can do a lot of the work for you. BTW he is really beautiful.
Well done!!! Both of you are amazing.
Jumping, no less! Wonderful!
Plus which, I notice that even when his back legs give out while he's walking, his immediate concern is to get his feet back under himself. He doesn't even try to just use his front legs to drag himself along.
Excellent! He has all of the correct instincts, and he's not allowing his injuries to override those instincts. Reeves is thoroughly invested in his own recovery at this point, and that's the most important factor in that recovery.
You've done such a wonderful job here, Jen. Giving him all the therapy he needs, even though it was difficult for both you and him, without somehow killing his kittenish joy in life. That is such a major accomplishment that I can't even begin to express my awe at what you've done for Reeves.

This is fabulous! He's jumping! That's the best news yet! You have done such a wonderful job with him.
Jen!!! a jump!!! a walk!! so good to see....
Just watching this, my face is smiling!! Little Reeves is so determined to walk!! Even if his leg and arm give out, he is pushing himself!! That is determination! Jen, YOU have provided such a loving and confident environment for him, that Reeves himself is not thinking that anything is wrong with him! What an incredible gift you have..
There is just "something"' in his indomitable little face ..... you just know he is a precious kitty. He is determined!
I love his face...it has so much character....
Thank you for taking the video for us....

I have to watch that video over and over. It's so exciting to see him walking.
Is he able to use the litter box on his own yet?

That's so good to see! This little guy just won't give up, will he?
I think having other cats around is doing him a lot of good, they keep him motivated to go where they go and do what they do.

What an angel you are! Thank you for everything you do. This kitten's story is amazing and he's made it this far because you didn't give up. He's such a cutie, btw!
Jenny, I am addicted to this video! I think I have watched it about 10 times since you posted it! The smiles it brings to my face, and the happiness....

Such wonderful news! You have done such an amazing job with Reeves. Your kindness and patience are amazing. He's certainly a little fighter and that face is so precious. It's so nice that the other cats are good with him too.
YAY for baby Reeves!!

WHOO HOOOOOOO!!! I got screen shots from the video, thanks to kittyluv387! Man, as soon as I can get the computersaurus rex to the doctor and get my flash player issues resolved, I'm coming here and watching ALL THE VIDEOS first thing! I am thrilled. Jen, you have done so well by this little guy. We are so proud of both of you.

Great work, Jen. Nice pictures of Reeves exploring.
I'm beginning to think we need to change the name of this thread to "Kitten who couldn't move."

I agree with that!!
Reeves is doing so well - it's one of the bright points of my day to read and see new updates on him. Your commitment to him just awes me and seeing it pay off like this is truly wonderful.
Just...wonderful. This thread is one of the things I look forward to when I boot up the computer!
Me too!
Jenny, the recent pictures are awesome... his little tail is swishing back and forth and he is taking steps, exploring the area!! Awesome!
