I haven’t been keeping up with the rallies very well. Found a flea or two on oreo, so he’ll be getting another bath today. He’s such a good baby, he just kind of holds still. Wiggles a little with the water but he’s super good when getting towel dried and even with a blow dryer.
He is so so skinny and doesn’t want to eat much. He has digestive problems, no surprise. Probably lots of worms. But he’s so fragile they don’t even want to treat him for worms yet. That seems like a catch 22. If he doesn’t gain weight in a week I’m going to treat him anyway.
Hubby thinks winter might be blind. I was thinking she wasn’t progressing very well with her crawling/walking. But he thinks it’s more likely that she’s going slow because she can’t see where she’s going. And that might be why she can’t find mama. Could also be why mama is rejecting her. She walks away when winter does finally find her. I think I’ll keep her if she’s blind. I’ve had blind kittens before, and they do just fine as long as I don’t rearrange Furniture etc. She could live in the Upper Floor and have it all to herself. Don’t tell hubby though. But I don’t think I could subject her to the Terrors of travel and a new Rescue and then adoption.
So sorry to hear that Winter might be blind. It is also not fun dealing with fleas.
When we got our first home in San Jose, CA we didn’t realize it was built over what used to be dairy land. We also in that house had wool carpeting. Our poor little dog got fleas so bad. We tried and tried to get rid of them but we couldn’t. My husbands brother and sister-in-law said they would take her in order to get away from all the fleas. They lived in San Bruno.
Oh the poor little kitty. That does sound like a catch 22. Go with your gut.
I hope Winter isn’t blind, but if the poor little thing is, then I’m glad he’s with you.
