New tiny kitten

[Fatiguedwithlife]

Hello! We have acquired a teeny kitten (supposedly 9 weeks old) but she’s the runt and is very small.
i haven’t weighed her, we only got her today.
We’ve kitten proofed the lounge and are keeping the dog and the other cat away.
She has one snotty eye which I’m cleaning every couple of hours with cooled saline solution
I’ve bought kitten milk and dry and wet food (the same as she was having where she came from).
Shes done a wee and a loose poo in the litter tray and mostly slept. She wasn’t interested in the food or water or saucer of milk so I syringed about 5ml warm kitten milk into her and that woke her up a bit. she then ate a little wet food.

are we doing the right things?

Merlin has such an air about him. He looks like a sorcerer. I love the weary look in his eye as he sits by the empty bowls!

Merlin is a gorgeous boy

Merlin is absolutely stunning, and so perfectly named!

Gosh Merlin looks totally different colours in those two photos!

Wow Merlin is a handsome boy! Lucky Penny having him as a big brother!

Merlin is indeed handsome. And kind, to have taken Penny under his wings (paws?).
I remember the picture of tiny Penny hissing, ears back, at Merlin, yet now they are best buds😻.
How old is Merlin @Fatiguedwithlife ?

We’re not sure, he found us from a friend of a friend of a friend and don’t know much about him. He’s a lovely fellow though, we’ve had him almost a year now. I reckon he’s about 3? Hard to tell though. I think he was castrated late as his puffs are still quite puffy 😆😆

Merlin is beautiful

Happy Sunday! From the enigma, Penny 🩷

She is very photogenic !
Tiny kitten needle teeth and stretched paw toe-beans in one photo.

Poor Merlin, he's got that <sigh> look of acceptance .
Though when my guinea-pigs (short legged tubby little rodents with minimal athletic skill) wanted to be on the other side of a cage mate , they went under them not over or round them.
So that could be Merlin bulldozing his tiny new friend .
But more likely she has walked all over him. Quite literally

does she pose on purpose for us? Because she’s got it nailed😹

Those photos have really made me laugh!! Penny is just brilliant.

Yes she just stepped over him to get to her food, and the yawn/stretched toebean photo was while sitting on my chest in bed this morning after an hour of tuna kisses and gentle nibbles 🤣🤣 She doesn’t care that I went out last night and could’ve done with a bit longer sleep

🥰😀 Gorgeous kitties! I love these! Very jealous!

She is sooo relaxed and happy and obviously very much at home in her role as Boss of the House!❤️😻😻

My favourite photo!

Thank you for updating the thread regularly. To see her grow from that tiny little scrap to a mini cat is lovely. Plus Merlin seems a very laid back older brother and it's so sweet how they interact.

I second the above post. Your updates always make me smile and it is heartening to see how well they’re both getting on.
