Bash Ironfist: Aug 16, 2008

Got home from work to see 28 new posts, and my first thought was 'oh no! something's happened to the kitten!'

Then I saw The Goon's post, and my next thought was 'oh my god eeeeeeeeee'

Cat should be Named Da Goon Jr. or what ever Da Goon's side kick name was.

The Goon: Sep 11, 2001

Well, he hasn't really reacted much. As was said earlier, I think the membrane has only now started to retract from his eyes. He reacts to light, so he's not blind, but I think he's having trouble focusing. If he starts freaking out i'll let you guys know. His eyes are almost fully opened now though.

He's been constipated the past day or two - there was a period where he didn't poop for about 24 hours, so at 4am last night we went online and googled. We discovered something called "the Triangle method" to stimulate the cat, and it actually really worked. He took some incredibly monstrous dumps yesterday and today.

He is so playful right now, it's hilarious. He just flips right onto his back and starts wiggling his paws back and forth and purring loudly when we rub his big belly!

Geolicious: Oct 21, 2003; Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.

Just found this thread. About to die of cute.

You're going to have a cuddler for life there. Bottle-fed kittens are love monsters. Two of mine were bottle-fed rescues and they love the love. Henry Cat especially is a lap cat and hugger and kisser.

Robo Kitty: Sep 5, 2011; There was a POST here. It's gone now.

I love that tummy, wanna poke it.

Hey, if you're looking for a cute and unusual M-name, you could name him Mesu (pronounced meh-SEW, with "sew" as in the British pronunciation). It means "cat" in a language called Garifuna that's spoken in the Caribbean/central America.

It's pretty amazing to think that those pictures are only a week apart.

Healthy baby kittens double their weight every week for the first two or three weeks! Had to hand feed some kittens born by a mother cat we were fostering for the humane society that was not healthy enough to nurse 4 kittens (extremely skinny herself). Part of making sure the kittens were healthy was weighing them often, really highlighted how fast they grew. Kittens are the best though, so cute! ~~It should be getting fairly close to the walking stage by now~~ is already at the walking stage, followed soon by the attempted running stage that ends up being a bunch of drunken lurches, probably my favorite kitten stage.

You could name it Myoho.

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the Lotus Sutra chant.

Marvel= Myōhō (妙法) meaning 'supreme (marvelous) law of Buddha'.

Hi, he's so very cute!!! Makes me remember finding My little Oliver when he was almost 3 weeks old so I under stand at least some of what your going through.

I did want to let you know that if you know anyone who has a couple good cats, you might want work on socializing him some. My Oliver still has issues with my mom's cats and hes like 5-6 years old.

Oh gosh, can you imagine how it'd feel for him to make little biscuits on you with them feets?

Still think he should be called Maximum Catte. Or just Max Catte.
