I like … love Tiny, I am SO excited to read your update, Mo …. and I don’t even know you OR the lil’ feller. π I am just *THAT* happy things have been looking up in recent days after coming back just now to ‘check in.’ π
With this said, I am OVERJOYED to read your update, Mo.
Grant it, I know absolutely nothing about cats or kittens (our first ever is only 6 months old) — I just know that this family is SO in LOVE with our dude “Edgar,” it’s ridiculous. These little felines sure have a way of capturing our hearts, eh?? Wow!
Please know that I have been thinking of you and Tiny – pulling for you – and very impressed with all the knowledgeable “cat lovers” who’ve posted their expertise and love in this regard.
I know you’re unsure of the ‘vet expertise’ you’ve received … but as a mom, a cat-mom, a wife, a chick, etc. etc. … I can reaffirm what everyone has said so far, which is “trust your gut.” You know your baby better than anyone! I tell the same thing to moms with HUMAN babies. Us women (& parents all, in general) have a special gift for intuition. Follow it. And you and Tiny are gonna be *JUSSSS FINNNNE,* Momma. I’m truly thrilled to read the above.
From all that I’ve read – in regards to cats/kittens, babies/people, etc. etc. …. π … growth happens at different rates. He may have had a rough start, but that doesn’t mean he won’t “catch up” in the months to come. Keep him going the best you can … he knows you love him so … and he WILL thrive, regardless.
I can’t help but wonder why his Momma “abandoned” him as she did? The show tune “If My Friends Could See Me Now” (!!!) TOTALLY pops into my head when I think of Tiny. π He’s gonna keep rockin’ it, as long as he has a Mom like you. Nice job, Mo! Congrats! Will be thinking of you and Tiny both and hoping things only continue to get better. xoxo.
