felicula | Kitten Update

Leo is now 1 pound 2.5 ounces. This is up from the 7.5 ounces that he was the very first night we had him here. Yesterday I came in to find him peeing and pooping in the little litterbox I'd set in our bedroom. This morning he was peeing in there. I guess I'm now off the hook for poop duty, but I'm going to continue warm non-genital baths with the washcloth for closeness and cuddle time.

He's gotten soooo playful. He follows around the house so much that we had to reinstate having a baby gate in the doorway of our bedroom to keep him in where we can find him more easily. His favorite place now is beneath

mechanchaos' dresser.

He chases my feet, and the other cats. All four of the others are getting quickly used to having him be around and mobile. Even Morpheus has stopped growling and hissing. Perhaps this is because Leo will toddle after him like a little brother. I have a feeling that Leo hasn't been the only one using the little litterbox, but that seems to serve more as an example to him than anything else.

He's definitely a little cutie. He's so much more kittenish than infantile now. Any time

whitesnowrosere,

amberrattus,

ninepointsatyr, or friends of theirs would like to buzz up from Buffalo for a kitten visit, just give me a call, e-mail, IM, or lj comment. ***grins wide*** I don't get to see you folks that often, so it would be definitely neat. I'm sure Leo wouldn't mind more folks to play with either.
