World of Make Believe

She’s doing better. It’s hard to imagine it’s only been a few days, and I still feel like I’m going to turn gray prematurely. All that being said–

Her front paws are getting a little bit straighter, but they’re still deformed. I’m going to start splinting them tomorrow– I’ve been waiting for a few days for her to get stronger.

Which she is. She’s eating more, staying awake more, and whining when I’m not holding her enough It’s …day three, I think, now. This Saturday, I’m taking her in for shots/etc. (Because I leave to go to Texas on Sunday, and that’s a day that my mother won’t have to take care of her– she’s not a cat person! But she’s agreed to feed and care for the kitten while I am away. )

She’s got such pretty blue eyes. She’s got this amazingly soft fur, and she just seems so happy! Don’t get me wrong, I mean, she’s still so tiny, and she fusses if I don’t hold her until she falls asleep, but she’s just so…peaceful. Happy, and peaceful, and it seems like she’s healthier. I’m hoping so, anyway.

I am sooooooooooo in love with this kitten. And soooooooo encouraged that she’s getting better already. I don’t know if we’re over the hump or not, because I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m feeling really optimistic in spite of myself. I am not an optimistic person. And I don’t want to be optimistic, but I am right now. I loe this kitten so much.

Pictures!

Resting on my lap
Awake but chilling (that’s a toy mouse under its chin)
