The Life of Bobo (among others)

Sounds like he is doing wonderful!! Great job!!

I think the litterbox training will be pretty easy especially since there are other cat in the house that he might see using the box. When you are ready I would start by placing him in the litterbox and rubbing his paws in the litter a bit. If possible, place some of his poop in there so he can smell it. Hopefully, he will catch right on.

When my Bella had conjunctivitis the vet gave me ointment to put in her eye and told me to wipe her eye often with a warm, wet cloth. Maybe just wiping his eye with a warm, wet cloth will help a little.

For weaning you can mix a little KMR with some canned food and see if he will lap it off a plate on his own. If not, you can rub a little bit on his mouth with your finger so he gets a taste of it...then he may try lapping at it by himself.

 

Well last night I let him try the Gerbers Chicken and Gravey and he didn't take it on his own. I just put it in his mouth and tounge. He licked it. It was his first time tasting anything other than milk! Today I mixed KMR and some Gerbers to make a sloppy mix and he wouldn't lick it out of a saucer so I put it in a bottle and he ate about 15 ml of it. It was thicker that milk so it probably made him full. I can't get him to lick anything but his lips. SO it might make weaning hard. He pooped all over himself so I gave him a little bath.
2 days until officially 4 weeks old. I think at about 5 or 6 weeks I'm going to take him to the vet for the first time. Usually it's 7 or 8 weeks but since he was a stray it should be earlier. He seems so big to me. He's come a long way.
He is starting to walk steadily now. Today I saw him use his hind leg to scratch his ear for the first time like a normal cat. I looked in his ear just in case and there was nothing there.
The pictures are comming soon. I'll probably pick them up later today. :y_the_best:

 

check the baby food...if it lists onions as being an ingredient don't use it as onions can cause anemia in cats. And baby foods tend to use onions for flavor

 

Mary, that's good to know.

Awwww. Bobo has come a long way! He's doing quite well thanks to you and all our helpers on this forum. Go Bobo go, go Bobo, go. Hooray for Bobo!!!

bellack1...he looks really really healthy too...i was just looking at the pics again. what a doll! man, is he cute!

 

Yeah Bobo is the cutest thing.
I made Pooky's apppointment today- she's getting her teeth cleaned and surgery to remove a growth on her gums for a biopsy. I'm really nervous. She doesn't know whats going on yet and I'm scared for her. I just don't want her to think I'm doing these bad things to her and/or abandoning her. SHe has to stay overnight to make sure she doesn't eat anything. I drop her off Monday before 7:30pm and pick her up Tuesday after 5pm. I'm already nervous! :roll:

I dont think Bobo is quite ready for weaning or littering yet. He just doesn't know what to do. He wont lick my finger and doesn't like the baby food. MAybe another week. He still won't pee on his own. :|

 

How old is Pookey? I will keep Pookey in my thoughts this Monday in the hopes that all goes well.

Unfortunatly, I think they really learn alot from watching their mother....hopefully in another week you will have more progress. Best wishes. :wink:

 

I'll be thinking of you and Pooky. Good luck!

 

Bobo could probably learn a lot from your other cat when she's feeling better from her surgery....they are all cute critters
