Hi all

Just got a new kitten last wednesday. A friend came over with him and said

his
friend found him abandoned along with 2 of his littermates which were

dead.
Initially I said I did not want the cat as I have four others so he said

they
were
going to put him back where they found him. At that point I said I'd keep

him.

He appeared to be about four weeks old and his eyes were swollen almost

shut
with goop caked around them. I had some terramycin that was 2 months

expired
but figured it was better than nothing for the eyes. He was also sneazing

alot.
On friday his eyes looked substantially better but just to make sure

things
were going in the right direction I took him to the vet. They
confirmed that he is only 4 weeks old and has worms, resp infection, eye
infection, fleas and ear mites. Here is his pictu

http://members.aol.com/alg460/kitten.jpg

As you can see he looks great now (much better than he did) and all the
treatments are working fine and he is now very happy, content and active.

At
first he did nothing but sleep and sit and stare when awake. He loves

people
and has slept right smack against me and my wife every single night so

far.
Hope one of us dont roll over and squish him. He
fits in the palm of my hand.

So far so good with the other cats (all females). At first they would hiss

at
just the sight of him. They seem to be getting over it and I actually saw

one
of them washing up the kitten. The only problem now is he is running all

over
the house and running under the other cats and getting in front of them,
standing on his hind legs and putting his paws in their face. They hiss a
little or give him a little tap on the head to knock him off balance. He

still
walks funny and wobbles when he walks but he sure can run.

What kind of jerk would throw away 3 kittens and leave them to die.

Only thing he needs now is a name.

He has the makings of a real "Scamp"!

So glad to hear you are keeping him, and he's doing well! I like Toby, like
the others suggested. Or how about Dickens? One of the litters at the
shelter I volunteer at has a "British Literature" litter, and one of them is
named Dickens. We thought that was a really cute name because it goes with
our theme, plus you can say "he's a little Dickens!". In your kitty's case,
it also fits because he was a poor little street orphan, abandoned, who's
family had died, and now he's found a loving home. How Dickensian!

You are such a good person for taking him but I have to question your friend
who at first rescued the kitten and then thought about him putting him back
when you said you didn't want the feline. People like that upset me because
that is usually why some dump a cat as if it were a beer can. It sounds like
this kitten is attached to you and the other cats so I'd keep him as he
sounds like a great kitty.
