Mini lion roar!

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

OMG I would have thought she had a tiny little cry. Poor little sweetie probably cried for a good long while before the plant guys found her.

Honestly Lexxy, she never made a peep the first 24 hours that we had her.

She was probably too weak to cry. (My best guess.)

Now that she's getting regular meals and gaining weight, the cry (high pitched meow), is music to our ears. wink

She has come a long way, in one week. smile

She is so lucky they found her when they did. It really does sound like she's come a long way.

FWM, I can't imagine you being able to part with her anymore. You have given Scully so much time and love. I'm sure she has bonded with you. And you, with her.

Czech, it won't be easy to give her away. Scully is adorable. smile

But, it will be for the best.

She's so young. I don't think she'll have any trouble bonding with a new owner.

And, we don't want to stress our cats out, by keeping her. (I think on some level, they realize the kitten is a guest. They ignore her, for the most part. And that's a good thing.)

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Gosh, we are a bunch of softies, aren't we.

I hope you find a very loving home for her and I hope they let her keep her name.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

On a different board there is a lady who fosters bottle babies. I've told her more than once that I don't know how she does it over & over & then has to send them on to new forever homes. I have complete respect that she does this but I'd end up a cat hoarder if I tried to do it.

TrudyML · Guru

Lexxy will take Scully. I fly to your house with Lexxy and scoop that bundle of love up! Does the meow have a twang???

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Yes Czech, we must have "softie" stamped on our foreheads! wink And if they want to change her name, I'm fine with it.

Lexxy, I admire that lady, too. It's a lot of work with a kitten this young. I don't know if I could do it on a regular basis.

Trudy, you crack me up! No, the meow doesn't have a twang! biggrin

Just got back from Petsmart. These animals cost us a small fortune.

A 15# bag of dog food, a 15# bag of cat food, 3 cases of wet cat food, 2-11 ounce cans of kitten formula, and 2 little cans of kitten wet food.

Anyone want to take a guess?

Spoiler

With tax, $170.13

Kitten formula is $11.99 for an 11 ounce can!

ROFLMAO! wink

I don't think I could nurse a kitten, LL. I wish, she still had her Mom.

But gosh, kitten formula is expensive. Worse the baby formula. (Not that I have needed any baby formula in a long time. So, I don't know how much it costs, now.)

(I did breast feed my children. For as long as my body could handle it. Conor, 5 months. Mere, 3 months. Paul, 10 weeks.)

Some things don't get better, with age. cry

Little Agent Scully, is doing very well with the bottle.

I'm happy about that. smile

I hope you find her a home as good as yours!

Eating is serious business for little Agent Scully! biggrin

TrudyML · Guru

Yay! My daily dose of tiny luv!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

She loves to snuggle in this throw. smile

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

She got me up at 1:45 am. and again at 4:30 am. to eat.

She just ate again, and should probably nap for a couple of hours.

I'm dragging a little bit. wink

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

That kitten is so dang adorable. I don't know how you'll give her up.

Good thing I don't live close! I'd swing in every day!

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Wow kitten formula is expensive! How long will those 2 cans last her?

She is adorably cute in her throw. I imagine it feels furry like her mama & litter mates.

Two cans will probably last four days.

We think she likes the furry feel of the throw too, Lexxy. smile

She feels safe in her own little nest!

I still get sad when I think about her family.

She better hurry up & grow into kitten food before she bankrupts you! That is crazy expensive.

Yeah I keep wondering if something happened to them or if she got left behind. She may have been weak so her mama abandoned her.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

We offer the caned kitten food a couple of times a day. She licks at it. But, she doesn't really eat it yet.

Hopefully by the weekend she'll be getting the hang of it.

As for her Mom and siblings, gosh...I try not to think about it.

We've been down this road so many times before. And, we never know for sure, what happened. cry

I'm just happy that we can help this little fur ball.

TrudyML · Guru

We are glad you help too!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

It's our hobby! biggrin

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Well everyone needs a hobby! Yours is a very rewarding one.

It's a good feeling, Lexxy. For sure!

Oh, and Trudy....kitten is teething big time. And those suckers have gotten sharp!

I wasn't moving fast enough to suit her this morning, and she bit me on the lip! OUCH! That hurt! biggrin

The little ingrate! Kitten baby teeth are sharp as needles.

Kitten baby teeth make me laugh! Sorry our little love thinks she is a lion! Roaring, biting!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I may look sweet and innocent, but my bite is fierce! biggrin

Scully is taking up yoga in her spare time! wink

She is seriously so cute! How do you not just hug her, and squeeze her, and love her......

Sorry you got your lip bit this morning, but it happens. ;)

Thanks Czech! I enjoy taking pictures of her. She's good subject material!

Her teeth have really grown a lot. I keep offering the canned kitten food a couple of times a day.

I think she should get the hang of eating solid food pretty soon. smile

TrudyML · Guru

She looks so healthy! So happy!

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

You cannot raise a kitten without a few scratches and bites. They are little lions, you know.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

I love all the pictures of Scully! She just makes my mornings!!

TrudyML · Guru

She really makes my morning, too!
