Little Merlin seems to be doing great

[Siwsan]

He actually slept in the soft sided carrier, last night, instead of on my shoulder. His appetite is great and he needs no assistance to poop or pee so time for litter box training. He loves to chew on my fingers and I definitely feel those baby teeth coming in. Best of all, his squealing is greatly diminished and his sleeping has increased, so I take that to mean he's settling in. He does still love to curl up on me, though, which is nice.

Nothing is cuter than watching his little paw knead the air while he's drinking from the bottle. Sometimes, like right now, he kneads on me. And, does he purr!

Today I'm going to have him spend time developing his ability to bumble.

4. I was going to ask the same question..

6. When they first start walking instead of crawling, with their belly on the ground.

And then they discover they can RUN but they aren't all that coordinated, yet. We've always called that the 'bumble stage'.

7. How delightful! I'm pretty sure we're all going to have to have video!

Thanks for taking the time to explain, Siwsan. Kittens are special creatures from heaven.

I want another kitty. Mine disappeared and I hand raised him from a kitten. But right now I have a very sick puppy dog and she needs all of my time and attention.

Thanks again. ❤️

8. I was wondering if he purrs.

One of the most soothing sounds on the planet.
