Weeble LOVES to play now. And climb. he climbs up on the bed, the sofa.
and US (not good when you're wearing shorts)!!! We've blocked off the
kitchen (we don't want him getting behind the stove or fridge), so now he
wanders all over the house. Caught him playing 'chase me' with Lizzie the
other day: she would follow Weeble around until Weeble noticed her, and
then she would flee, and Weeble would come wobbling/trotting/running as fast
as his kitten-legs could carry him after her. Lizzie would jump up onto one
of our antique footstools (we have 2 one shaped like a camel, one like a
donkey, they have wooden legs, neck & head, with a leather covered cushion
on their backs, my parents bought them when my dad was stationed in Morocco,
long before I was born) that Weeble can't quite get up on yet, and she's sit
up there and watch him toddle around, occasionally taking a playful swat at
him, until he got distracted and went elsewhere, and then she'd be following
him again in order to start the whole thing again. He also likes to climb
up to the back of the couch, and then onto my shoulder and play with my
hair! A couple of times he's done that and forgotten where he was a and
plopped down onto my lap with a surprised look on his face.
Weeble also likes to sleep with us at night. when we go to bed, we but him
in is nest (a deep kitty-cozy-cuddler just across the bedroom from the foot
of the bed, that has a smelly T-shirt of mine in it, and 2 small stuffed
animals for him to cuddle, wrestle with), and a few minutes later, he's
walking all over us. I've put him back in his bed 2 or three times in a
row, only to have him back on the bed almost before I get back in it. He
climbed up there this morning, curled up by my shoulder and used my cheek to
rest his head on (I was lying on my back). It was so sweet. And he purrs so
loud for such a tiny kitten!! Funny thing is, he knows that bed is 'his
place', as if he gets tired of "running" around and playing, and we're not
in our bed (or he doesn't zonk out on the sofa), we can usually find him in
his bed, and he'll look up at us as to say 'whatcha want?'.
He's now eating a mush made up of 1 small (3oz) can of Science Diet kitten
food mixed with one small (2.5oz) jar of meat flavored baby food, and some
powdered KMR mixed in (for those extra kitten-nutrients) until the texture
is what I feel is right. He sometimes balks at it, but then he remembers
that that stuff's not so bad, and starts chowing down. He's also drinking
water on his own now too. I've been using lids from some small
Tupperware/Rubbermaid bowls (I don't know if I even still have the bowls
that these go to) for his food & water as everything else is way to big for
him. He's also upgraded to the 13x9 inch disposable/reusable cake pan,
since the 9x9 was now too small for him. I guess in a few weeks we'll have
to get him his own 'big kitty' litter box, but it will have to be one with a
lid on it as he seems to enjoy throwing everything out of it! I have to
sweep up the bedroom every day! And his eyes are turning color - right now
they're mostly green with an outer rim that's still blue.
Will post later when we have pics uploaded (they're getting harder & harder
to take, he's getting so active).

Tip: they sell considerably smaller litterboxes in Petsmart; I bought one
for a tiny little space under one sink in one bathroom so our cats would
have a choice in case the larger box was in use elsewhere......one of these
little boxes might be just right for His Weebleness.

What a sweetheart. We always have a few jars of meat baby food around for when a pet
is feeling off. Usually lamb as it is easier to digest than beef or poultry, but it
can be hard to find.

What a great idea! Never thought about that before. I'm going to have to
look for some/stock up in case Persia is off her feed.

I started off with chicken (he loved it), but decided to try a few others,
ham was OK (I had to coerce him to eat it), but he is now on the lamb, and
he loves that, too - gobbles it up like he's not eaten in a week!

Thanks for the Weeble update - I was thinking about him yesterday and
wondered how he was doing - very well by all accounts.
He sounds like a real little character - continued purrs for his well-being.

He's really getting to be a big kitten!

That sounds so sweet!! I would find that very relaxing and it would put
me to sleep. (A few years ago, when I would lie in bed at night, Roxy
would come and lick the parts of my hair that were shaved close to my
head. It must have felt like cat fur to her. The feeling of being groomed,
along with her purring in my ear, used to put me right to sleep. She
doesn't seem interested in doing that anymore, too bad!)
> And he purrs so loud for such a tiny kitten!!
I've always noticed that all little kittens purr much more loudly than
older cats do. I wonder why that is?

What a little sweetheart. You've done a good job with him. Scritches to
little Weebles.
