Well, I wasn't going to have another cat. But. . .

19. Have you taken him to the vet yet? When I adopted my cat Tango as a feral stray,

she spent the whole next at at the vet getting wormed, and having her fleas and ear mites cleared up.

Your baby might have other parasites than just fleas, and getting rid of them would help him a lot.

I thought Tango was maybe 6 weeks old when I adopted her because she was so tiny, weighing just 2.4 pounds. But after being treated for all her parasites, she gained weight rapidly. She was 5 pounds one week later, and 6.7 pound just 2 weeks after that.

As it turned out, she was much older than we thought at first--actually about 10 weeks to 3 months old, not 6 weeks. But she was so malnourished that she looked like a tiny kitten.

She is a Maine Coon cat, so she is actually the largest of my 3 kitty girls, weighing 13.4 pounds now. But what a wee thing she was when I first met her!
