Aw, he's gorgeous! He's properly landed on all 4 paws in finding you both. Wonder what the chickens will make of him?

[tosca100]

They are a bit too interested, he is so tiny I would worry if he went in there, so fixing the gate to be mouse proof is no 1 job today as it is by the back door. They don't bother with cats generally Still eating, drinking and running well, had a few wees but no poos yet. Hoping that is just because he was so hungry when he landed on our doorstep.

Our routine has changed!

If he's very small you might have to stimulate him to go to the toliet.
Momma cats lick their kittens' bottoms (and grossly digest what comes out).
We used a warm damp flannel and rub gently - try it a couple of times a day.

Oh indeed. Dave wanted a cat, well, he can do the necessary! He used to hand rear exotics in his job so has the experience.....so obviously he's the best man for the job of bum massager (to put it politely)

It did take 48 hours for our kittens to actually go to the loo - they were 5 weeks old when I brought them home from the lottie, so patience is necessary too.
If you're well into day 3 and he hasn't been - I'd be worrying

Little Splash seems to be going from strength to strength. Still hasn't had a poo but is not bloated. The vet wasn't in today. all vets busy with an outbreak of blue tongue so they just shut up shop. But the little lad is very active and he and Bella play (restrained from Bella) for ages.

He thinks Bella is his mummy now!

Lovely photos. He's really thriving and enjoying life. And what a lovely dog Bella is.

just come across this Tosca - oh my so so cute , what a poor little scrap , so hope he makes it , he will help keep the pesky meeces away when he grows 

[tosca100]

We have exciting news. Splash has had a poo! So relieved (as is he no doubt) but in the end it was a good, firm but not too firm offering and not smelly so assuming he just didn't have one because he didn't want one! He has been to the vet and got a wormer, litter tray and litter which is in a crate away from disgusting dogs so all is well.

He is soooooo cute. Good news about the poo.

Oh Yessssssssss

[devonbarmygardener]

Brilliant!!  You've got worries now in that department

Thinks kitty litter is for playing in, it makes lots of lovely noise.
