Little kitty update. Still eating like a champ. She fell asleep on a towel in my lap, so that's today's bed.

She can't see any more than changes from light to darkness, but we're keeping things in consistent locations, with different textures to act as sign posts.

(New thread because I broke the old one trying to do something smart with replies. Continued from eldritch.cafe/@HauntedOwlbear/)

Once again, I am not allowed to put down the tiny cat, who has gone to sleep on my lap.

Her nose is cool and slightly moist now, and her pee is a bit less water-like. (Eew, but tentative yay.)

As soon as I get paid, she's going to the vet for proper tests.

She jumped today! An entire and perfect (if sedate) leap down to the floor. Don't have a photo of that, but here, taken yesterday, is how she falls asleep during pets.

She's eating more stuff. Hates fish flavour, loves chicken cat food. She's actually stretched out full length on my lap as I type this, and is seeming a bigger little kitty than before.

You know, I think her sight is recovering. She's no longer circling to find things, and runs directly to people and food.

She's also rather bored, I suspect, and more irritable, more demanding and, fortunately, more gentle when she bites. Not sure how to entertain a feral kitty, but she likes company at least.

Her quarantine period ends on Tuesday, when she can hopefully be properly tested for both kidney function and transmissible diseases.

There's another cat in the same area we found her that looks just like her. Possible sibling?

Here she is eating chicken mousse. Not shown: small grunting noises as she scoffs.

We're going to the vet for a post-quarantine checkup this morning. How Fun.

She is FIV negative, so no further precautions needed on that front in terms of the other cats. Kidney function results due this afternoon, predicted by both me and the vet to be in the vicinity of "lol no".

If that's the case, she'll likely be with us long term, as both neuter and release and rehoming elsewhere require a certain base level of health.

The cat has melted. Should have mentioned to the vet that she's a liquid.

So, her bloods weren't as bad as anyone expected. She does have high levels of urea, though, so yeah, her kidneys aren't well.

We've been given some antibiotics to get down her and will be sticking to a renal diet for the foreseeable.

Anyway. Little kitty officially no longer on brink of death. Cat pilling war stories to follow.

Half pills, because she weighs 2kg.

2kg
The smallest of our other cats weighs 3.5kg. Most of them are above 5kg.

And we've not even weighed Misty the itinerant maine coon.

My little friend (currently nestled on my lap) says hi. She's taking her antibiotics (powdered, in LickyLicks) happily and I probably didn't make enough of a deal about her vision having apparently near-fully recovered in the last few days.

I have no idea what we're going to call her. Suggestions? (en or fr, video game references welcome)

Little kitty, who is tentatively answering to Zilla (short for Meowzilla/Miaoujira), got to explore more of the building today while I cleaned her room (the bathroom).

She's used the litter tray a couple of times (still more misses than hits there) and I found her sitting in her cardboard box today.

She's been a bit grumpy for a couple of days (I don't think she's enjoying being on antibiotics), so it was nice to see that she actively chose to hang out with me when she had more space available.

She and Al (the other cat who lives there) have now seen each other, but not close up. Introductions are for the future, as is her getting a full time run of the place.

Oh wow, a week without Zilla updates! But that's because she's been doing really well!

She's been coming out to socialise and explore some of the rest of the building every day. Her muscle tone is improving, she's putting on weight, and although she can't jump up yet, she can wedge herself against things so as to climb granite walls!

She has now met Al, the very gentle cat who is usually the sole feline occupant of this building.

He was previously running to hide when he saw her, and her bad eyesight meant that she'd not clocked him before, but earlier this week she spotted him peering over a piece of cardboard at her all UwU and jumped a mile.

A couple of days later he sniffed her without getting his face removed, and they're currently mostly ignoring each other, him on surfaces, her on the floor, which resulted in this photo of them in front of the fireplace.

Bonus Zilla photos from the week.
