I've adopted a newborn kitten

[LinvilleGorge]

It's up to 265g now so it's more than doubled it's weight. Eyes are fully open now and it's starting to take some clumsy awkward steps.

The dogs are calming down enough I've been able to start introducing the kitty to them. They've never shown any aggression toward it but early on they were just too excited around it. It's getting normalized now.

I have a "mostly" Plott Hound who was the same way - she just loved those kittens and would get a bit too rambunctious with them.  I honestly believe she thinks she is the mother of the little male kitten we kept.  They sleep and play together and groom one another now.

Soooooooo cute!!!

Kitty is thriving. I really didn't expect it to survive.

She's a cutey- good job LG  _ I know its a bunch of work.  Once she's weaned and using a litter box it will get a lot easier

Me and my present hound took an dog obedience class some years back - the instructor kept King Charles Spaniels and hers were certified in tracking missing people as well as finding cadavers,  sometimes in deep water from a boat.  She had some incredible stories - her dogs actually helped locate the burial site of part of the crew of the USS Huron which was lost off the outer banks in 1877.  All by nose and extensive training.  

She wouldn’t be from Holden Beach would she? I think she might have been a high school classmate.

Still doing great. It's starting to learn how to use the litterbox and starting to learn how to retract it's claws. As nice as the former is, the latter is an even more welcome development.

Good to hear..   This kitten has gotten 3 pages of chatter..   Now you have to tell us it's  PANTHER NAME is..  Put some thought into it..   SIr Purr is taken..  but I'm sure you can buy the name like Bryce bought #9 .. 

Really good pics..

I'm pretty sure this kitten,, in her rookie season will dominate and carry us to the Super Bowl,,  Just when we needed a little luck,,  it happens.
