Crazy Eyed Clarence

As of the moment I have two kittens.

The day Panda left for heaven, Fatso's mother Sakura also went back to the shelter thankfully not the same way.

Sakura was over her kitten. She would sit down the end of the cage and meow incessantly all day. If there was newspaper covering the floor of her cage she'd tear it all up within minutes. In the end she was also throwing paper around in her litter trays and somehow sending said litter trays halfway across her cage.

It was doing my head in turning around and cleaning it not even five minutes later.

I also have enough of one cat meowing all the time *Gives wailing Leo a glance*
My Boy Leo finally being quiet
Since Fatso seemed to be eating fine I wanted to separate him from Sakura in hopes of turning him into a kitten who was curious about people instead of one wailing for Mumma.

I went to the vets that day with three Kitties. I came back with only one. Those are bad odds.

While we were there, Fatso got his first injection. The vet mentioned he had wonky looking eyes and looked nearly cross eyed. Spur of the moment he got a new name Clarence after Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion. (Way beyond my time apparently).

He isn't cross eyed but he does have one pupil that bulges out slightly. He has some growth in that eye that he can see past fine but it will need to be monitored closely in case it grows and begins hindering his vision.
Excuse blurry picture can see left pupil is bigger than right
So I still have Mittens. I still have Clarence.

Clarence seems to be a quick study and is already purring in my presence. He does still Wig Out when he's picked up or held. He doesn't yet know Mum's not going to come save him.

Mittens will hopefully return on Friday. I'm not sure if she'll go to sales or be put in isolation.One nostril is persistently remaining slightly damp. She sneezes in sequence but can go long periods without a peep. Her energy level has not dropped and her belly just keeps expanding.

She's so leggy all of a sudden too.

Unfortunately Mittens has gone downhill and is now on medication. Let's hope this will kick the extra virus and her flu in the rear end. She's been sneezing since the 19th December I feel she's well overdue for a break and a search for her family before she's a full grown kitty.

********** NEW UPDATE*******

After hearing about the difficult departure of the six other kittens my sweet neighbor thought I needed cheering up and brought over a previous little foster kitty.

Why do I keep coming back here?
Who would have thought this big kitty Ash would have been tiny foster kitty Misty only a few months ago...
Tiny little Misty MMMM
Until Next Time...
