Energy - Day 26

Weekends are so nice.  It's nice to be able to catch up on much needed sleep and cleanup.  It's all cleaned up now, but you should have seen the disaster of a kitchen this morning.  Of course, I'm not serious.  If I wanted you to see the kitchen, I would have snapped a photo.  Kitten pictures are considerably cuter and much less embarrassing.


Crazy Dream

I had a horribly funny and horribly scary dream last night.  If you didn't guess, it was kitten related.  Also, poop related (surprised?).  So, here it goes.

I was in some kind of public building.  An office?  A school?  Wherever I was, I wasn't home, and it was some general area I wasn't familiar with.  Phoenix was with me and he needed to go to the bathroom.  So I started helping him, and he started pooping, and it was a nice formed poop.  Fantastic!  Until it didn't stop and accelerated.  In estimated dream measurement units, I'd say it was at least 40 feet long, and had gone up to the ceiling and all over the place.  Since I was out in this public area, I started panicking looking around for things to cleanup this monumental disaster.  When I came back to check on Phoenix, he was severely dehydrated (basically mummified).  And as I switched to panicking about not having milk and debating whether or not I could give him water, I ended up waking up.

Back to Reality

Today has been good.  Phoenix is staying up for a bit longer now and exploring and engaging with me.  He's starting to play a bit more, and I am continually struck by the the following thought:

"How can you be this cute?!"

I mean, I'll be the first to tell you that he was not much of a cutie when we first got him.  I think I used the term "endearing but also not endearing at all" to describe him the first couple of days.  But look at him now?  My heart is melting.


On a more practical note, I was trying to check out his teeth today.  He's got his little incisors in the front, and he's also starting to get his canines!  In general, the order of teeth would be incisors, canines, then the pre-molars.  So these are all great signs.  You can kind of see them in the photo below!


Videos

Seems like I decided today would be a video heavy day.  So here you go - a bunch of different videos from today!

Look at how flexible he is!

Late night playing.  This was around 4am.

Little guy looking around.

For someone so chatty, he sure knows the right time to stay silent 😂 (wait... did my emoji just italicize?)

I think I may have scared him with over enthusiastic playing.

Food time!

He was frozen 😂

I'm probably going to have to up my "ouch" game so that a little terror doesn't grow up into a big terror.  But... 😍

Crinkle ball!

Resisting sleep... and trying oh so hard.  I had to zoom in to get this one, so the quality isn't so great, but these days, if I get too close, he pops awake again.

Give Me a Caption

My husband has asked me to do this on some other photos, and today I've decided to oblige, because I think this photo is just to fantastic.  So here we go!  We'd love to hear what you would caption the following photo.  Leave us a comment and let us know!

Growing Up - Day 17

17 days, 7.65oz, 6 feedings, 2 butt baths, 1 dose Ponazuril, 0 vet visits.  A nice count down to summarize my day.  Phoenix has been doing well.  He continues to have blood come out after going to the bathroom, poor guy.  You can tell he's in pain when it's happening.  Let's hope that some more time with the medication will help improve this.  His poop today already seemed better than before (less accidents), so that's hopefully a good sign. Approaching a Milestone I'm always excited when Phoenix hits some kind of milestone.  It's a way to make me feel more comfortable about his state.  I always worry that maybe something is wrong (especially internally), so seeing this normal progress really helps. I've referenced the kitten lady before - here's a nice page from her site about determining age (but also kind of demonstrates some milestones).  Check it out; http://www.kittenlady.org/age, but I've also included a picture from her site belo...

Upgrades - Day 20

Day 20 and Phoenix is still going strong.  He's been gaining weight like a monster (hit 250g today), and I think the poop storm is starting to slow down.  Eyes are wide open, energy levels are high, and fluffy factor is continually increasing. Upgrades Phoenix got a home upgrade today.  I had purchased a collapsible pen that arrived a few days ago.  This morning, the little guy was complaining even after eating a bunch of food.  So I decided to go ahead and upgrade from a container to this new pen. I regret not getting one size bigger.  I'll need to think about a litter box soon, and it would have fit a lot bigger if I upped the size.  We'll see what happens.  I also haven't figured out what I'll do at night.  He usually sleeps next to me, but maybe it's time to leave him in one spot and keep him out of the bedroom?  I just worry I won't be able to hear him crying if something goes wrong. All in all, I'm generally happy with this new pen...

Kitten Concerns - Days 45 and 46

Phoenix is as energetic as ever.  He runs and jumps and falls.  He eventually sleeps.  Then wakes up to go through it all again.  Overall he's doing alright, but our poop problems have returned. Kitten Concerns Phoenix has been able to poop on his own for a while now.  The poops have largely been formed, so things have been on the upside.  Unfortunately yesterday afternoon, he had a pretty loose stool.  And then shortly after, it was pretty much only liquid coming out for the poor guy. I gave him his dewormer yesterday.  There was a lot more to feed him, but I got most of it in him.  I got some of it on my pants... but the majority of it successfully went into his mouth.  He did fight it for the most part, but we got it down!  It was the next poop after that that came out as liquid. We've also recently introduced some moistened dry food for him.  So this new food could explain the change in his poop.  I'll continue to moni...
