A Kitten Appears!

Just when I'm in the midst of packing and moving to a new home, I found a tiny blob of fur. I was just coming home from buying a new cat carrier for Cleo (I wanted the cats to move in together) when I heard this kitten mewing.

Out of curiosity (of course who can ignore that plaintive wail?) I hunted around for the source. At first when I saw it I doubted my eyes, because the source of that loud wail was from a tiny little scrap of fur, in the Block D carpark.
Long story short, after looking around for the mother/nest I was unable to find her so I took the kitten up. Cleo and the Tuff were not pleased. They were very huffy yesterday at this intrusion, it was a little amusing to see them get so worked up over this kitten that's basically the size of Tuffie's fat tail :P

Feeding her was quite a challenge - I've never taken in a kitten this your before. And we didn't cut the hole in the nipple big enough, so she did not eat much yesterday. :(

Very wobbly, and stubborn -_-

This morning I took her to Petlink Vet, apparently she is 3-4 weeks of age, which is pretty good for me as she can go to the toilet without assistance (in the morning she did a HUGE pee...all over the floor). Also it helps her chances of surviving...I made a bigger hole in the nipple and she suckled for a bit. Still not eating enough though.
Crazy red bugeyes :P

When I got back from the vet I brought the kitten around to look for the mom. According to the workers downstairs it was a black cat that had the kittens. Apparently she abandoned this kitten after some kids played with her :( Well I found the cat, but she wasn't interested in getting the kitten back :( So it seems like we are gonna have to try our best with this one...wish me luck!
