A Runt On Our Hands

Being that Lily has 7 kitties this time around and only 6 feeding spots, it would appear that we have a runt. I noticed from the day they were born that she would take this little guy aside and feed him separately (remember the two that were fighting in the video? I'm pretty sure this was one of them.) Anyhow, tonight she brought him up from the garage. We sent him back down, and she brought him up again- only him. He was kind of wandering around the house crying, and then Ashlee walked in the kitchen to find him like this:
Poor little guy was trying to get some food. Apparently he's going to have to be a fighter.

  1. Awwww..is that her special little guy then? Did she put him in the food dish? That is so interesting that she seems to favor him, or understand that he isn't getting the same amount of food as all the other kittens-amazing, really!

  2. She brought him in the house, nursed him, then sort of led him into the kitchen where the food was. We've been offering him canned food and he loves it. She is a smart mama, and I think it was her way of getting us to take care of him.
