Hand rearing kittens.

Sirbendy

they grow fast..:) When we got fudgie, he was tiny.. Far too early to leave, seperated from his parents and isolated with his brothers and sisters. He was a syringe and food mush feed for a while. This is to give an idea of scale:



That was May/June last year. Now, he's not far off the size of Big cat...

What a beauty! Amazing to see the transformation!

Sirbendy

He's very, very soppy..heh..not sure if it's a result of the hand rearing/big cat fostering from 4 weeks or so (vets guess at his age, was too small for a proper checkup) or what, but he loves everyone and everything up.

He's currently asleep on big cat, with their paws around each other. I should point out in that first pic he'd just been bathed, as he was CAKED in food, poo and god knows what else. I'd have taken them all if I could. RSPCA were informed immediatly though before I even drove away.

I still can't quite admit to being a cat person..heh..I know I am, but..i've never owned them before, only Guinea Pigs (who get on famously with the cats).
