    Oh my ... got tears in my eyes looking at those pics!!!

    Looks like you best get knitting a coat for her to keep her warm!! That last photo is amazing ... she's got the equivalent of a beer moustache there ... ha ha ha!!
    If that isn't the image of a contented kitten, I don't know what is!

    You've done marvellous with her ... she looks so much better than she did at first (in her face) ... you can really see a difference!!

    Come on Molly, keep it up little one ... we want to see pics of you all grown up with lots of fur in a year or so ... !!

    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    Hi everyone

    Sorry it's been soooooo long but I thought I would give you an update on Molly.

    She is fit and healthy and is now living with my Mum who has more time and room for her. She has been there since she was 8 weeks old. She is now fully weaned and litter trained thanks to my Mum. She was quite difficult to wean as she became too attached to her bottle but is now off of it altogether. But she now has a new best friend in the form of my Mums cat Tommy who basically litter trained her lol. They love each other to bits and Molly walks around meowing if Tommy is out too long.

    She only has one problem now and that is she seems to have been born with partially deformed from legs, they bow outwards and she walks a bit like a bulldog but as she grows they seem to be straightening out. Her legs cause her not to be able to wash herself properly so she has regular baths which she loves lol she just doesn't like getting her paws wet but she fine with it everywhere else evan her head and face.

    Here is some pictures for you, not the best but you can't keep her in one spot too long.

    As you can see her fur has grown back with a vengence and grey!

    Oh my goodness! She the prettiest little face. I'm so glad she's doing well and has a new big brother to show her the ropes.

  • Thanks for posting Mittens. I have been checking now and again, and it's great to see how much she has grown. 100/100 for all your hard work. :D
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
