New Kitten, abandoned feral, 2-3 weeks, Help??

Just got back from the vet!!

So, baby definitely does have tapeworms, but according to the fecal test, that’s the ONLY worms she has! So as soon as she’s done with her antibiotics she should be a healthy kitty! The vet told us she most likely will have very very minor vision issues if she’s got them at all, and to keep an eye on how her depth perception progresses. If she has major issues finding her way, we’ll just have to be careful how high her tree is and what she’s given for toys. He’s not too worried, though.

She had her second dewormer, first round of vaccs, and her very first flea control today! Two shots, three oral doses, and a skin treatment along with the fecal test.

Poor girl was NOT PLEASED AT ALL by the tube up her tiny baby butt. :/ She was a grumpy girl all the way home, and started thrusting her little arms out of her carry box the last few miles of the drive, letting us know how very not pleased she was. She’s since been fed and put into her playpen in her nice, dark cat room with the fan on. She’s going to be pretty sore and pissy today, but it’s alright.

She’s on her way to being PROPERLY HEALTHY.

Thanks, Zee!

I’ve just been so exhausted that I haven’t been keeping up with much around the house… I feel awful, since our relationship agreement was basically that I don’t have to work so long as the upkeep is maintained and everything gets done. Still, my Love has been taking excellent care of Baby AND me, and encourages me to get my rest whenever possible until the lil one gets old enough to be more independent and self-reliant.

He actually came in after work and loved on me until I woke up enough to say hello and told me he’d taken care of the kitten and everything was fine. He turned off my alarm too, so I wouldn’t be woken up til I was ready… I’m a damn lucky dude 🙂

We decided on Lilith after much deliberation for baby girl, and usually she just goes by Lili, Lili-girl, or fuzzbutt. She was MOST unimpressed by the vet, but calmed down after a few hours in her playpen. She ate fairly well; 14.7Tb for the day; and was snuggled up to me for about an hour while I read after finally waking up around 10.

It’s about 2a here now, and I’m heading back to bed as soon as I pack a lunch for the Mister. We’re all pretty worn out by today, but at least there was no real cause for concern. Just the usual kitten troubles rescues face.

We were POSITIVE she was gonna hate it, so it barely made the last list, but lo and behold~ Can’t wait to get her tags after her next round of vaccines!! 😀

I spent all of today NOT in the gym, making kitten toys. A cute red fleece mouse toy, and a long cotton-print squid. She immediately started playing with the mouse and dragged it off and away under the recliner.

When presented with the squid her eyes got big and round, ears laid back, and she POUNCED! Grabbed it right around the middle, and started kicking away happily as she gnawed on it’s “Face.” I’ve never been so proud!!

lol~ Well, I DID go to the gym, just not as long as usual. {I average about an hour and a half, but was only there about 40 minutes.} Our local Pride parade is in a few weeks, so it’s the last desperate push for extra tone ha

I was a bit of a whirlwind afterwards, cleaning up the guest bathroom I claimed for my own and doing a rather large amount of dishes. {My Love takes the master bathroom for his, and I have the one across the house. Keeps all our various products separate, and gives both of us heaps more counter space! Also means no one’s fighting for a mirror in the morning…}

I thought about it for all of a moment, and then realized how many threads were already coming off the Squid this morning. Next time, I’ll do better with the fabric choices, and turning my edges! 😳
