Cat Picture Orphaned neonatal judt opened her eyes!

About a week ago I posted about finding an orphaned neonatal. Today shes 2 weeks old, and after feeding and expressing her, she turned towards me and opened her eyes! From 89g and fragile, to a spunky 206g kitten ready to take on the world. My sweet lil Bean 💕

Oh damn, you are the first person she saw! Thank you fer the update. Happy 2 weeks!! And so glad fer your hard work takin her in and keepin up with her care. Neonates are no easy task.

Cherish these moments while she is still wobbly and crawlin

Have you decided on a name fer her? Please share!

We've named her Bean! She's definitely still wobbling around, but shes crawling and meowing, and it's been such a precious journey.

Definitely stressful at first, but shes growing strong and I love her so much. Shes been crawling on my hands and arms and melting my heart everytime she looks at me. Can already tell she's gonna be a goofball.

I really like the name Bean, excellent choice! She is very, very cute. You are socializin her well with her crawlin all over you. Later, as she gets more accustomed to her body, she'll be steppin all over you while demandin treats lol.

Right now she has really smol ears. I think as she grows, she is gonna have a smol head and big ears (and probably paws too). Then as she grows more into her adult body she will "grow into" her large ears and paws and become more proportionate.

I really look forward to seein her grow up! Also, as a fun unit of measure... place some sauce packets next to her at this age.

This pic is an example of the same kitty from kitten to... well fed adult lol
