Brief Kitten Sam Update - Day Three - She's doing very, very well... [View all]

Her eyes are completely clear, but I'm still doing the slave and the antibiotics. I had been keeping her at work in an empty office to feed her often and check on her, but left her at home today and checked in at lunch. She only wants to keep playing. I've kept her from the other cats because of the respiratory infection, but all night Ashley (my other 4 week old rescue kitten who is 17 months old) kept batting his hand under the door and she kept batting back. This morning I introduced them and they're in love...they only got a little time together and she had to go back, but when I came home for lunch he was sitting outside her closed door. Hopefully by this weekend anything goes.

I'll take photos tonight, but until then, here's Ashley, at about a year, and also at about 6 weeks.
