Piff

Piff is doing better.  Gonna try putting canned kitten food in the syringe for him tomorrow.  

Weighed him on the postal scale today, to start an official tally of his progression.  1lb, 8.6 oz.  I know he didn't put on half a pound in one day, so I'm making this his starting weight.

He crosses the room to sit in my lap, uses the litter box (but missed once), and he played with the string on my pants for a few swipes.  All in all, I think he's getting better.  Less snotty today, that's for sure.

Yay! Wow--you're my hero for taking care of that little itty bitty puff ball.

He's teeny-scrawny. My thumb and forefinger wrap loosely around his neck and overlap by half an inch. When I feel the space in that hollow of his belly (like right in front of his hips and below his spine), he's less than an inch thick there. His hips are all boney and I can feel every rib. It's hard to know where to pet him.

He's better today though. Eating canned food like it's going out of style. He's put on 2oz. in the past 24 hrs. A few more days of that and we won't be worried anymore.
