Hi!
Thank you to everyone who asked about how "kitty" came out....
Of course, he is as cute as ever!!!! And he is being a REAL kitty now!
As it turned out, he must have eaten or licked something he shouldn't have and he is perfectly fine!!!! Yea!...EXCEPT for one thing.....He is INFESTED with fleas! I thought I saw a flea, but he has FLEAS...A lot of them! Talk about the "eebie jeebies".
I am starting him on "Frontline". It is okay for kittens over 8 weeks old and he is approx. 10 weeks old. It kills the eggs, fleas in all stages.
We have several pets, and have never had a flea problem, so I never even would have thought to check him for fleas before bringing him in.
I actually know nothing about it...Like, have I already infested our home? What about the chair that he has claimed as his own? I guess I should treat the other two dogs and our other cat, too.
Then my sister-in-law who works at a vet clinic let me know that if he eats the fleas then he could get tapeworm....Ugh!
Anyway, my kids still call him "Vash" or "Vash The Great". My two year old still suggests we call him "Kitty"! Well, "Vash" would never have been my choice, but since they are SO in love with him I don't want to hurt their feelings! I guess we'll see. My older son offered "Snoozer" as a name, because he thinks it is funny that kittens sleep so much! Twice today he was sleeping on the top of our easy chair (his chair), and rolled over and fell off...all the way from the top! We didn't know whether to laugh or not....Poor thing!
I'll take the name "Snoozer".
Anyway, I'll stop babbling on again!
Have a good evening...
Lisa
