Keep it up, and the rest is up to God - just remember, He Made the animals before He Made Mankind (and apparently still more so before He Created Adam!). You'll be blessed consequently as caring for "the least of these", regardless of whether the little animal survives or not...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525452176832188713.post-10031162234375641392008-08-02T22:00:00.000-04:002008-08-02T22:00:00.000-04:00I'm putting off coming up with any name until it m...I'm putting off coming up with any name until it makes it through at least 2 weeks -- always the most critical period for a newborn kitten, especially one abandoned as early as this one was. (It had 18 hrs, max, of mother's milk... kittens who get less than 2 days of such milk are at a much higher risk of complications and death).<BR/><BR/>As I noted in the update, it doesn't seem to be doing well tonight; I just got off the phone with the emergency vet who said I'm doing everything right and it may just be the "pot shot" at this point as to whether or not it survives. Often a mother cat can tell if a kitten is sickly and will abandon it for that reason.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully I won't have to put up a kitten RIP in the next few days... but I'm worried...A Musing Anglicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716925974068272479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525452176832188713.post-14909907297069205852008-08-02T19:30:00.000-04:002008-08-02T19:30:00.000-04:00LP, shouldn't you name it "Anglikitten"?

(Although you'll have to change it when it's grown, and I'm not sure that <A HREF="http://anglikin.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Anglicat</A> would approve of your appropriating her name.) Why "Anglikitten"? Because -<BR/><BR/>a) It came to you unbidden, mewling in the night;<BR/><BR/>b) It is blind to the world around it; and<BR/><BR/>c) It needs its mother.A. S.
