A New Grand-Kitten

Meet our newest addition-Anabelle Lee. Though my daughter and son-in-law paid $10 for her (we think she is a her-but that may be revised after her visit to the vet) she was a rescue.

I am going to TRY to be generous here. Perhaps the teenagers who had this adorable kitten and her siblings in a basket all day at the grocery store, without any food or water for them, or even so much as a towel for them to sleep on were simply IGNORANT. The teens reported that this 11-1/2 ounce (my daughter weighed her in a ramekin) was 6 weeks old. Maybe they just FORGOT when the kittens were born, because they are no more than 4 weeks old. Too young to be separated from their mom. When they got her home, she was ravenous. (sigh)

I am NOT thinking about the others that were adopted by other kind people. I am going to imagine that they were lucky enough to get competent homes where they are getting the cat formula that they need, like Anabelle is. As well as all of the extra work that needs to be done for such a young kitten, that my daughter and her husband are doing for this, the last kitten to be adopted and taken home. I am going to imagine that all is well.

I am certain it is for little Anabelle. It is amazing how small she actually is! She is getting stronger all the time, but is still wobbly- really just spends her days sleeping, pooping and eating. No playing yet. But that is coming attractions. She will grow and thrive because she has such loving, caring "parents." I hear that Molly and Baby Jake (will he need to change his name to "Adult Jake"?) are adjusting well to a new sister (or brother, as the case may be). This will be a fun summer over at their house!
