The last two weeks have been crazy between introducing a new kitten to the house, my getting sick, the kitty getting sick, finishing a new pattern, starting two more projects, weeeeee. But I know you are mostly interested about the kitten.
Her official name…drum roll…extended drum roll…wait for it…Smalls. A very good friend suggested this off-line and it fits perfectly. Smalls is a main character in the classic film The Sandlot. But I think the main reason it fits so well is we get to run around the house saying, “You’re killing me Smalls.” I want to thank everyone though for the great suggestions in the Poll. I think Smalls has about five middle names now.
Smalls has had a tough time of it these past few days. She’s already been to one emergency vet visit after she stopped responding to just about everything and cried in pain when you picked her up. Come to find out, she was running a fever of 104 and wasn’t in the best of shape. After a hydration treatment she started coming back around. Her blood work came back showing that she was slightly anemic, so now she’s on prescription vitamins. Ahh kids, can’t live without them, can’t afford them.

Very cute! You’ll have to continue to take pictures of them on the windowsill. It’ll be like the first-day-of-school photos for any pair of siblings.
Glad she’s doing okay–and you, too!

“Can’t live with them, can’t afford them.”
SO true!! Still waiting for the bill for Trouble’s sprained elbow. I’m thinking that because we had sub-par medical care I might just pay half the bill. Think that would fly?
Smalls is killing us with cuteness. (And Tilly’s beauty goes without speaking; I don’t want her thinking I favor one niece/cat over the other!)
