Kitten doing well!
Dec. 27th, 2004 03:08 pmThe kitten is his feisty little self this morning - his paw is still pretty waxy, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him so much. If nothing else, it'll grow out.
The older cat was adorable last night, too. After we had held the kitten down and brushed the random bits out of various embarrassing parts of his fur (lower abdomen, base of tail), and scrubbed at his paw with a warm wet washcloth, and wrapped him in a towel and tried to dunk the paw in warm water... well, once we let him go, he was pretty miserable. While he half-lay, half-sat trying to lick the wax off his paw, the big cat hovered around and licked his back and haunch as if to comfort him. It was really sweet.
Thanks ever so much to those who helped out with advice last night! Much, much appreciated.
