Hey all .Sorry I haven't had much time but I have a day off today.The journey went fine.He didn't even wake up.Hes doing really well,350g :eek: and sleeping through the night now as well.

You can see the "shake" he has.He only gets it after eating.I don't think its anything to be worried about ???He sleeps,eat,mauls my hands,bite me for a bit and falls asleep on my neck.

"YAY, KITTEN!"

Awww, he's so tiny BTW I haven't closely followed the discussions on what sex 'boardsie' is, but going by what is on display in the first video, I'd say he's a boy!

I am absolutely thrilled that the little kitten has thrived. He/she looks so well. Definitely a keeper!

OT but They should give a newborn kitten to half the wasters on that show and see how they get on after a week - before they are allowed to have children

Try copying the links and pasting them in a new tab/window, as opposed to just clicking on them - that's what worked for me.

HE -he's definitely a boy - is adorabubbles...

It's too late for you to edit the first post to add a poll. You'll need a local mod to do it for you.

Feeds are a bit mad now.He tears the hands off me,hogs down 10-15ml ,burps,rolls over and eats my hands then comes back and finishes the bottle.Ill get a video of it late.But on the plus side,he gets a late feed and then one at 7-8 in the morning.Soooo much better.

StevieNicksFan

Unless you create a poll on another website e.g. survey monkey, pollcode.com or a similar free poll maker and just provide a link to it from here? Not sure if it is allowed, maybe someone can clarify if it's an option for you

I think FREDDY would suit him - as in FREDDY KRUEGER - seeing the claws on him... He's much cuter than that, though...:D

Have to admit looking at the pics of the little kitten and reading how he had a tough start in life turned me into an ould softie.

It reminds me of a cat we had over 30 years ago, she lost her mother as a kitten and we hand reared her, then she got caught in one of those horrible traps that snapped shut on her leg and was in it for 6 days.

I think it will be the same for you OP, you will always remember this little pal of yours and it's nice to see so many good people who care about our little furry friends.

feel free to throw a suggestion for a name into the pot.I think ill try send everyone that posted on the thread a message and see what they want to name him.it will give a good mix and some more names.

Fair play, love the vids (when they were up earlier).

BTW Secret Life of Cats is on the ITV channels right now (and +1 from 2100h). Seen it before, but it's class.

Stevie is a unisex name so it covers all unexpected eventualities! Tusk is actually pretty cool too...or Albatross lol

Hi all,
There is a plan in motion for a naming competition type thing, we just need to finalise some details.
When we have it all thrashed out, we'll be back onto you all to let you know what the plan is.
I'd hope to update by tomorrow night (Thurs night), so sit tight!
Thanks,
DBB
