Meet Mouse and watch him grow. A tiny little kitten with big energy.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
Too many kittens and not enough homes............
As a cat lover myself I enjoy these threads and am a sucker for kitty vids.
I’ve also been wondering if all the folks who were sequestered and ran out and adopted dogs and cats from shelters will keep them when things get back to normal.
Love the kitty videos-two of my 3 cats are tabbies like Mouse is...
</awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww>
So happy Mouse was rescued. He’s really enjoying his life.
Making biscuits - we always called it “star fishing”.
Why do cats do that?
they knead their mothers milk glands as they suckle. Babies taken away early often knead in a lifelong basis.
Really cute. Reminds me of Lil Bub, Instagram sensation who was also extremely small. She had some additional health problems and died last year at age 8. :-(
Although this one was tiny, it didn’t have the obvious signs cats like Lil’ Bub had (such as really bulging eyeballs, obviously meant for a much bigger head).
I had a tiny kitten in a group of 4 girls, named her Peanut. In time, she became as large as her sisters and one of them actually never grew larger than a kitten, even when she was over a year old (sadly, she also had leukemia and went blind - only made it to a year and a half before the leukemia killed her. She had an older brother, who also had leukemia, who was very loving and was very protective of her and would sleep with her. I think he was heartbroken when she passed and he died shortly after she did). As for Peanut, she vanished on a weekend day when we let her out to play in the yard as she did every morning and afternoon.
I’d like to think someone found her and took her in, however unlikely. Sadly, she probably also had leukemia like her siblings, so may not have lived long, either. We had her mother until 2013, who had been surrounded by all these sick cats and kittens, and she never got leukemia from them. Passed away from unrelated oral cancer before she turned 14.
Yep, LOL, just like our Runt Runt, our Tasmanian Devil preemie. She was the size of a hen’s egg at birth. She’s still a little smaller as an adult than this cat is. She has one back leg that’s solid white from her toes to halfway up her thigh - it looks like she’s wearing a plaster cast. And she gets up on my wife’s hip at night (especially in cold weather) and ‘makes the biscuits’ until she’s got the perfect nest made. Our male cat sometimes follows her in and does the same thing, but no sooner does he have his spot arranged, he jumps up on the footboard and tears down the hall like he has a tin can tied to his tail. LOL We said from the moment he took his first steps that he wasn’t gonna be quite right when he grew up.
