Piff update
So. Probably the last "Piff update," just because he's a happy and healty kitten with all prospects of growing into a happy and healthy cat.
He's incredibly affectionate. Not so big on sitting in your lap if you're sitting, but I can lay him over my shoulder and he'll just hang out there as long as I'm standing or walking.
The only problem with the kitten at all is that his day starts sooo much earlier than ours. He cries to be let out of his room, and if I let him out, he meows hello to everything. Hi scratching post! Hello toy! Hey there, table-leg! I let him out this morning and he was so noisy that I chased him out of the bedroom. So. Like a minute of blessed sleep, and then he bripps at me again.
I look down, and he's got his shoestring in his mouth, and he looks up with me, all wide eyed like "YOU CAN HAS STRING NOW! I SHARE!"
Fucker shouldnt be allowed to be so damn cute so early in the morning.
Can anybody think of a kitty-toy that he could play with by himself that he couldn't choke on or strangle himself with?
Turns out he's negative on both FIV and feline Lukemia. That was good news.
He had some ringworm that made the last inch of his tail hard and swollen and look like it was gonna fall off. Took him to the vet for that, got it treated. The tip of his tail has no hair still, but it's growing back.
He's got a pale undercoat that's growing in. Not quite a true silver, I think, but very strange.
Got him his vaccinations. He promptly curled up like he was gonna die, ran a fever of 103. Took him back to the vet, got him a shot of steroids and anti-inflamatories and whatever else they put in the shot. Perked him right back up.
In one month, he went from just over 1lb to almost 4. May have to reevaluate the guestimate of his age.

You can make youre own for cheap. Old rug, wrap it up, a couple of strings tied tightly around it with some big-ish soft toy- (so they wouldnt choke) and yeah- there you go- kitty jungle gym.
I am all loved up with this post- that im gonna go squidge my own kitty Gidget (the only one left of the kitty army we had :( Smurf went missing soon after the kitties were born and the only kitten left is my one. We originally had Oddball (yeah i know STUPID names, but she was my younger bros and he named her) was stolen, and Ewok (i actually named her- coz her ears were all curvy like a bear and she was dark with gingery bits) got hit by a car- and it was just TERRIBLE, she came back and oh my GOD, we had to put her down and it was just... so upsetting. The only kitten to make it fully to adult hood is my cat, Gidget, who is so pathetic and follows me EVERYWHERE that, i dunno what i would do without her)
LMAO- hello toy, hello table leg! HELLO WOOORLD!!

So sorry the litter had bad luck. Gidget sounds really sweet.
