Last blog of Mustache's kitten

In my life, I've always gotten signs that things were going to change and try as I may yesterday to get into blogger to post about the kitten, it wouldn't let me so I knew something was wrong and I thought that maybe the universe didn't want me on the computer so long, but the answer was different.

It is with great sadness, that I say that Mustache's kitten (Max) died today when he would have turned two weeks. He wasn't interested in eating last night, but after trying and trying I got to have some milk. It also didn't meow at all yesterday. My Lil' One wouldn't stop staring at the box with the kitten all day yesterday and today, and every time the kitten came out she was attentive. I should have known that she knew that something was wrong.

Then this morning, it wasn't interested in having its milk but after attempting and attempting, it finally had some. It wasn't meowing either. By the afternoon, it was dead. I now wish that I would have rushed it to the vet this morning and said something isn't fine, and sat with it all day, but its too late for that my kitten, my little darling, my tiny little sweety pie is gone.

Gone too soon, my little darling, gone too soon,
I don't know how I could of taken better care of you
I fed you, burped you, played with you, wiped you
I loved you with all my heart
I loved everything about you, now I miss you sooo much
I miss the way you wiggled around in my hand, the way you crawled all over my arm, the way you sucked milk, the way you meowed, the way you way crawl your way to me when I put you on the couch or the bed
You will be forever missed my little darling, my little angel, my baby boy

My cat Lil' One heard about kitten's vet visit, and she was on the driver's seat waiting to drive the kitten if needed. A picture is attached.

Kitten had plenty of milk and had extra bonding time with me and Lil' One. Lil' One licked the kitten from head to toe like a momma cat would do. I think she's going to be a great surrogate mom and help to raise the kitten.

Mustache still does quick visits. He's a good daddy!

Kitten had its first vet visit and its second ride this morning. The kitten didn't like waiting in line with all the barking dogs and meowed a lot. The good news was that the vet said that its healthy and the vet thinks that its a boy. I told the vet that I wanted to know about giving the kitten worm medication and flea treatment. The vet went ahead and gave it a tiny amount of worm medication, and said that he'd give the kitten an eye dropper amount of flea medication after it turns three weeks old. The kitten is too young for flea medication right now, but soon it will be getting regular treatments.

The kitten was happy to be back home, have a bottle, and sleep in quiet. Home sweet, home, it thought. Mustache made a quick visit, but the kitten was asleep, so off he went.

Happy 4th of July everybody! This is the kitten's 1st 4th of July, so I just told it that it's Americas birthday. It got to listen to fireworks and couldn't figure out what the sound was.

The kitten is now a week and three days old, looking more gray stripped on the sides of the belly and tail. The black around its head is now more gray. It's tiny claws seem to have it be more steady and it gets itself right side up after it rolls over just a little faster.

Mustache just did another walk through. I think he's uncomfortable with the drizzling rain, the fireworks, and all the activity happening.

7th blog of Mustache's kitten

Today I read cat.lifetips.com and found out that kittens are fed with a bottle for four weeks and then are weaned by giving them a bottle in between putting wet cat food for a couple of weeks till it gets the idea and then dry food is put for them to eat along with wet cat food. The kitten is now a week and two days old, so there are a few weeks to go. It will be nice when it can eat by itself and groom itself.

The kitten has figured out that the Gator teddy bear isn't real (alive) and it doesn't seem as interested to sleep with it like it used to do. It recognizes human voices and cries when it hears them to be fed or simply to be picked up. The kitten loves to crawl on humans. My Lil' One likes it and gives it little licks when she sees it out of the box.

Mustache hang around for a while today even though it was drizzling. He's happy to hear about the kitten.

The kitten is a week and a day old. It's eyes are still closed and it has learned that if it cries enough that it will be picked up. It stops crying as soon as it's picked up just like a baby. Its cry is loud, which lets me know that its little lungs are plenty strong. It loves to be held; it wiggles and claws its way around a hand and enjoys trying to climb up shirts and arms. It also enjoys sucking on fingers, thumbs, and shirts; however, its favorite spot is the area between the thumb and forefinger.

It was a rainy day today, so Mustache just dropped by to check on the kitten for a little while and then went for shelter. Cats don't tend to like water, so its understandable. Talking about water, the kitten got another bath today, since I had seen still one flea on it. It took some serious work but the flea is off of it...yey! I'm sure the kitten will feel better with it gone. Cats normally groom a lot and try to make sure they don't have fleas on them, but the kitten can't groom itself yet. I'm looking forward to the day that it can groom itself.

Happy Meowbirthday to kitten! :-) It's one week old today. We sang to it and had it lay on my cat as a special treat for its birthday. My Lil' One is 18 inches long, 7 inches wide. The kitten is 5 inches long, 2 inches wide, so it's grown a 1/2 inch recently. It drank a lot more milk today, since it's getting bigger.

Mustache hung out for a while and was happy to hear about his kitten. Then he went along his way. He's such a special father.
