ok so I don't have a weight on Lily for the past 24hrs, but I'm not concerned since I know she is eating and gaining very well. Not to mention that she slept from just after noon until 4pm when I woke her up and we all know that expression "let sleeping babies lie"...well the same applies to kittens lol.
We recieved another kitten last night. This little girl was found in Holstein and taken in by another rescue person, however she doesn't do bottle feeders and was quite concerned that the kitten wasn't eating and hadn't been using the bathroom much at all and when she was it was only in tiny bits. So she is here and dong very well, I am thinking she is between 7-8 weeks, I am pretty certain that her molars are in and the usually come in sometime around 8 weeks. She doesn't take a bottle well but she will lick the end and the chew on it, so I think she was weaned and than dumped off in this small town. She will eat canned food that has been blended with the blender to smooth it out and I have been adding formula in it as well, not b/c she needs it but b/c thats how Lily has been eating and its just easier for me to make it the same way for both and KMR isn't going to hurt her. I don't think she will be here more than a week, nothing much to do with her except to make sure she is eating and outputting etc etc. She is a big girl I am guessing about 1.5lbs.
On our way home from picking her up from Mary's Jilly was going thru the names of flowers that she could think of...and in Jilly's world thinks like Dandelions, ragweed, moss, crabgrass etc etc are all flowers so she was ready to name her ragweed...umm no. trying to explain the difference between weeds and flowers is like trying to convince her that people can walk on their heads...impossible. I wasnted to name her tiger, than we would have a tiger and Lily (get it tiger lily? lol) the kid shot me down, didn't like Rose or Daisy either, so she decided that she would just be named flowers, don't forget the s or Jillin will be sure to remind you. lol. I still like Tiger, but Jilly thinks that its a boys name and if she grows up with a boys name she will turn into a boy and at 8 yrs old boys are gross lol.
I will tell you about her first night and the dramatics in tomorrows post....lol...so be ready
See you then.
