New Kitten, First Night 11.12.
The first night with the new kitten (not yet named…but I’ll call her Tiny in this post cause that’s what I call her right now) went fabulous! WE moved our mattress out into the living room so we’d be by the heat and not high up in case she walked away while we were sleeping. However, she stayed snuggled up to me the entire night. I was the one that woke her when I had to switch sides and relocate her to a new nuzzle spot.
Sadie and Maple handled it really well too! Well, Sadie is a bit of a priss, but no one tried to eat her or anything. Maple watched her with huge eyes but ran off whenever Tiny mewed. We are taking her with us to the store every day until she’s too big, so hopefully that will give Sadie and Maple plenty of time to get used to her without her all of sudden invading their space.
I tell you what though…this is enough mothering for me for some time. It’s not that it’s hard or annoying or anything, but I have some weird anxiety complex. This happened when we brought Maple home too. I didn’t eat for two days, and the first night we had Maple I actually puked a couple of times. I’m really not sure why…maybe the “change” of things. lol even though there’s not much change with a kitty. But yeah, yesterday I only ate 4 bites of macaroni and cheese and today I ate half a grilled cheese. I’m doing much better this time, but I did get nauseous last night for a little bit.
Right now Tiny is sleeping on my chest, under my jacket…she loves it in here. She’s so adorable and I’m so glad we saved her. I still kinda feel bad if the mom came back to get her, but it’s just too cold to “wait and see.”
Corry snapped a couple of photos of Tiny last night so she and I officially have our first photo together!
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to take some more photos of her today…if she ever wants to come out of this cocoon she’s created.
