After a great three days of avoiding shiny things, life got the better of me. I did not earn a star on my chart on Friday even though I did NOT spend money. Then, 'why no star' you ask? Well to craigslist my eyes did go, to the pet section. OH NO, not the pet section.... danger danger! There was an ad for bottling feeding kitten. I couldn't resist. I emailed the ad and was off to collect, said kitten by 11 in the am.
Such a sad story. the barn cat had kittens and the girl said they seemed fine on the birthday, with mama cat. Then she went back to check on them 2 days later only to find a nest of dead kittens except for 2. One was very far gone and only lasted a couple of hours but the other was strong and did well. That is the kitten. It needs my NICU expert help. I am now bottle feeding the little 4 oz creature every 2-3 hours during the day, and once at night. It is so tiny, smaller than the newborn kitten our grey cat had. It's about 9 days old, eye fused and ears closed. Ok so I gave into my whim, but it needs me.
We went hiking yesterday, kitten in tow, to Sugarloaf Mountain. Very pretty. The kids had lots of fun climbing rocks and watching rock climbers.
