Glad to hear she's doing better.

My aunt accidentally kicked her kitten across the room. She was getting ready for work and didn't know that the new kitten snuck into the room. Aparently the kitten wanted to play, so it tried to climb onto her lap by clawing up her leg. My aunt was so startled that she kicked, and the kitten went flying and hit the wall.

She recovered fine though. She was a little older than your kitten, but she was wobbly for a couple days and a little hesitant to wander around. She's since forgiven my aunt and gone back to being a very playful and loving kitten. Hopefully your little girl will make a full recovery.

aww...I just found this thread now...I'm so sorry for this unfortunate accident, but it's wonderful to see how much love and compassion both you and your son have for these little ones! The best of luck to you, and I'm sending prayers your way! I'm going to continue following this thread, and hope to see some adorable pics soon! =D *hugs*

I'm so glad the kitten is improving! Ongoing hugs to your son as he goes through this dark time with the kitten.

In all the commotion i forgot to pay my phone bill! I had no internet for a day!(shock horror) lol

Little ginger kittys doing great now .. back to her independent and crazy self.. her little sibling just climbed my leg and is sitting on my lap ..so clingy this little one!

Sorry for the crappy picture of little ginger I didn't want the flash to startle her. I will post more of the two of them after i buy new digital camera batteries!

Thanks to you all for your love support vibes and prayers. I've no doubt they helped both myself and my lil trooper of a ginger kitty.. Typing one handed now as little 'clingy' needs my other not to fall off my lap lol

Oh, I'm so relieved for both of you!!!!

I'm often so impressed by the resilience of kittens. And it was just an accident, and the outcome looks good, so stop beating yourself (and your son should too!!!) up about it!!! She'll be as good as new with time, so enjoy her while she's still a little tike!

She's a doll, BTW!!!

Yeah ..thanks Wookie my sons much happier now. It was hard for him because he is an apprentice carpenter and had to try and put on a happy face or get ridiculed by all the silly macho workmates.
And my Mum was telling me how resilient they are and that they have very soft bones.
Okay i must go and buy new batteries for the camera to chew up. Im missing some excellent shots of them! Thanks again!

My, she has made quite the turn-around!!! Looks as good as new!

She is absolutely precious! I know she'll make a wonderful pet to you and your family. Looks like she's a pretty good boxer, too!!!
