Sippy has started playing! The first few days he was in too much shock to be interested in playing, but last night and this morning, he has been pouncing at anything that moves! Also, when I gave him a bath the first day, he hung there limply, not resisting, but when I gave him one yesterday, he was a force to be reckoned with. These are sure signs that he is feeling much, much better. I can still feel his bones quite a bit, but not as much, and his belly is very round. He has also been pooping consistenly since yesterday. Unfortunately, he is nowhere near litter-box trained. We have shown him the litter box, helped him scratch in the litter, made sure he can come in and out of the box easily...and he still poops in the dark corner under the desk. We have put the litter box in the dark corner under the desk...he pooped behind it this morning. Our other two kittens understood the litter box concept almost immediately, but they were raised with big litters and humans caring for them. Who
Do you remember when we went wading for blackberries in the creek behind grandma and grandpa's house? The mud was so thick we got stuck in it- I don't remember being old enough to have the good sense to be scared, but I know mom sure was. Good blackberries, as I recall.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful story and a lovely analogy, but I don't remember that in the least. Thanks for the encouragement, though!
