Nemo: 10-days-old

October 15, 2013. Video of Nemo at 10 days old. At this point, we were on vacation and Nemo came along with us. These pictures and video were shot in our hotel room. Nemo did well on his first hotel visit. Of course, he basically had a cycle of eat, sleep, potty. Rinse and repeat. Yes, I really do mean rinse  as he did get a bath here!     10/15/13 – Eating in the truck 10/15/13 –...

Nemo: 9-days-old and Traveling

October 14, 2013. My husband and I had a trip planned for several months. When I took Nemo home with me, back on October 8, 2013, it was only supposed to be for a few days.

However, one thing that many people do not realize is that kittens cannot eliminate on their own. The mother usually...

When he is in the crate, she often sits on top of the crate.

Nemo: 6 days old

  Nemo’s growth has been quite rapid. By 6 days old, on October 11, 2013, he had nearly doubled in size. Our younger dog, Kelly, showed interest in him from the start. As with my first cat, Jethro (who was also an orphan that I bottle fed), Kelly has made it her job to clean the formula off of his wee little face.  At this point, our other cats and our older dog were not impressed by Nemo....
