Also keep the video mode ready. Record the first time they get to use a litterbox! https://i.imgur.com/GaHgbWr.mp4

Now we feed single-protein foods; James Wellbeloved turkey kibble and Cosma tuna tins. Poultry is obviously a very common cat food ingredient but single-protein fish food seems fairly readily available too. I don't know if those brands are available in Canada, but they're cheaper than the prescription stuff and he's doing very well on them. Ah yeah thanks I'm not sure about those brands but looking for single protein foods threw up a bunch of results!

Rotten Red Rod posted:With a kitten that small found out in the street, don't delay doing a vet appt if you haven't already. Yeah, I took her the day that I picked her up. Vet says four weeks old, so too young for shots but her heart sounds good and she got the dewormer. Really, I got super lucky with her because she's about as tiny as it's possible for a kitten to be without requiring a ton of extra work. She's got all her kitten teeth in, she can eat dry food, drink water from a bowl, uses the litterbox by herself, etc. So she's got all the adorableness of a tiny little kitten without most of the extra work they require.

That's for sure. I've been lucky enough to have the mother cat on hand for foster kittens that young. You've also got her at the perfect age to socialize with other people and bond with you. Make sure to regularly bring friends over to meet her, and you'll have a real outgoing friendly cat.

Bringing in other people is perhaps the one area I haven't been able to ultra socialize my new kitten so far. He's only met other people once or twice -other than vet visits. They were also the boisterous sort who sent him into hiding. He's still got a bit of a bump at the injection site from his 2nd round of vaccines, which concerns me, but it still hasn't been a full month, and it doesn't seem to be growing, when I take him in to get fixed next month, I'll still have the vet take a look to make sure it's not a sarcoma
