Umm… so this just showed up outside my work… I have no idea what to do and everyone I would call about it sleeps like normal people…

They’re very sleepy. Not sleepy enough to lay in the box, but very sleepy on my chest. I assume this is like couch sleepy vs bed sleepy for people.

I don’t know all the rules of cats, but I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to move them while they’re sleeping. What do I do?

Introductions. Spike seems interested. No barks or chomps. Lot of licks. Yes I’m sitting in the tub… seemed the safest place to isolate them since he won’t get in the tub unless forced.

Ok… it tried to get into the mouse bait… so it’s inside now. It’s not very good at staying in its box.

While they’re here, I’ve named them Dandruff the Orange. Because it’s a wizard, obviously, and they’re constantly on my shoulders.

Woke up to a lot of notifications. I’ve pulled the venmo link down because we should have more than enough covered for the vet. Thank you to everyone who chipped in. I think this kitten probably has a nice cat tree in its future.

Just got back from the vet. Dandruff was 1.31 lbs at her visit 4 weeks ago. Today she was 2.94 lbs which is listed as ideal body score. Vet recommend spaying at 5-6 months old so that would be in about 2-3ish months. She is negative for feline leukemia and negative for worms.

Vet appointment made for tomorrow afternoon. Dandruff has found a cozy spot to sleep in the bathroom. Spike is snuggling extra hard today. I work overnights (obviously, since that’s when they showed up) so I’m going to try and get some sleep.

Showering near a kitten update: Dandruff has decided it is not safe for me to shower without supervision. She perched on the tub to make sure I didn’t accidentally drown. She fell in once but I blocked the shower head and she did not panic. Was able to return her to her perch

Vet appointment is later today. Not much to update on before that. Still super snuggly. Still lives in the bathroom. Pretty sure this picture was my first scolding for letting the food bowl be empty.

She is apparently around 6-7 weeks old. She has ear mites which we treated and she was also given dewormer. I was also given some basic cat raising info which was very helpful.

Maybe the reason Dandy insists on stepping in her food is to save some for later?

Good morning. Dandy did good last night. She ate the rest of the kibble that was out for her and about half a can of wet food. She’s acting much more like herself, purring, and rubbing against my legs and Spike. She seems comfortable enough in the onesie now and isn’t trying to

@andreaaskowitz It’s so beautiful watching a printer become a mother. I’m sure she’ll love her babies whether they grow up to be inkjets, fax machines or all in one printer combos.

How exactly is it that a cat can move with so much elegance and grace, flowing like water, not even making a ripple in the sheets they run across, yet also land like they weigh 45lbs directly on your stomach?. Only to then float away on the gentle breeze again moments later.

Whoever recommend these little spring toys was right. Dandy loves them. Only problem, they fit under the gap in the door, so I’ll need to teach Spike to nose them back under. Also her new cat cave seems to be a success!
