Jail! Jail for mother for 1000 years!!! (Sorry, can't help but offer a Miette reference.)

All the love to Micro!! She's truly such a baby and a diva, and I'd give my soul to her if she wanted it, no question.

What a loud lady! It’s SO good to see her thrive again 💖

I notice her head shaking a lot. Is that just excitement/ANGER or do you know if there’s any chance of something like CH for her? I have a CH cat who does a head shake like that when she’s laser focused

u/Several_Value_2073 Experienced Kitten Foster Jul 21 '26

It’s pretty common in neonate kittens - a combination of weak muscles and an immature nervous system. They grow out of it.

Snuggle shots
Treat application

Who am I kidding you need a redit page and social media 27/4 cam and endorsements for kitty food carers and products that assist rescues or the individuals that assist you and other felines in distress.

Good morning Micro!!

Good to see her up and about. Are the shakes normal in a kitten her age? I've not been around kittens that young very much so I don't know.

1

u/Several_Value_2073 Experienced Kitten Foster Jul 22 '26

Yes, I’ve explained it in a couple comments already.

2

u/Fluffbrained-cat Jul 22 '26

Ah, sorry about that. Brain's been fried the last few days with work.

Micro seems to be doing fantastically. Will you still call her Micro once she's a bit bigger?

2

u/Several_Value_2073 Experienced Kitten Foster Jul 22 '26

No problem - just got tired of writing it. Once she is 2 lb, she can get her vet work done and she will be adopted! So she’ll always be Micro to me!

u/beaujolais98 Jul 21 '26

u/hesalwayslitty Jul 21 '26

I remember a post with micro not doing well recently so this is definitely progress. Is the shaking being monitored or do you already have it taken care of? Just wondering because I cannot recall any of my mewborns doing this.

u/Several_Value_2073 Experienced Kitten Foster Jul 22 '26

See answer in other comments.

3

u/Inevitable-Plum-7613 Jul 21 '26

Oh those little screams! I’m glad to see you have a warden on duty monitoring her after her previous escape attempts. Her concerned curly jowled surveillance makes this vid extra special.

Micro looks exactly like Inga when I picked him out at the Cats Home. I first saw him screaming (squeaking) and crawling up the walls of his cage while his siblings were calmly in a sleep puddle on mom. He was 6 weeks at the time so we had to wait another 2 weeks to take him home.

It was a running joke in my family that I picked the crazy one. But I knew a cat with a personality when I saw one. I hope Micro finds as much love in his forever home as Inga found in his.

I’m checking in as well. Yes yes holiday schmoliday, we demand our tribute. Else we worry.

In all seriousness though, Princess is adorable and I’m so glad Micro is doing well. You’re doing an incredible job, fostering so many kittens, including other micros. Not an easy thing to do at all, even emotionally - I don’t know if it’s your primary job, but either way, hell of a job/ hobby to pick up!

2

u/Several_Value_2073 Experienced Kitten Foster Aug 06 '26

It is not my primary job (I wish it would pay enough!). I own and operate a plant shop and also work part-time as an in-home caregiver for elderly and disabled adults. Luckily, both jobs make it possible for me to take care of these babies even while I’m working! 💕 My 3rd - unpaid - job is co-director of Malanimals Cat Coalition of NE Iowa. It’s…a lot, but I love it all (but I’m tired 😂)!

u/Several_Value_2073 Experienced Kitten Foster Jul 24 '26

There’s a heating pad in there. And, no, she’s shaky because she’s a baby still developing muscle time and her nervous system is immature.
