What a difference 10 days made

Just over a week ago I was feeding her kitten milk through an eye dropper, every 4 hours. Now she's gobbling down thick pate slurry, crunching on kitten kibble and drinking water from the dispenser.

She's on my lap so I can keep the big kidcats from stealing her food, although I suspect she'd put up quite a battle to keep them away.

And out of direct light she does still look like a black kitten.

She's also getting fluffy. It will be interesting to see how she finally turns out.

Her mom is a striped tabby. I have no idea about the father.

Our rescue was around forever, until . .
We had a spade mom cat, and after in house recovery, we introduced little one to "mom". After mom established her way, after 30-45 minutes, they were together for life.
Memories.
Thank you
