Talked to Ann briefly last night. The little black kitten formerly known as Bucky has been renamed Thor by her 14 year old. Do you want to argue with him? 'Cause I sure don't.

Thor is eating on schedule. He has eliminated several times, but not after every meal. He is noticeably rounder. He has figured out the bottle, and is doing well with it. Ann reports that cutting an "x" in the tip of the nipple makes it pliable enough for him to manage, and he's quite happy with it.

She bought a hamster carrier to carry him around him. He's not much bigger than a hamster. He needs to go wherever she she goes, since he needs to be fed every two to three hours.

And now I really am going to go to bed.

ETA: Ann weighed Thor, and he was 3.25 ounces. Since newborn kittens are typically about 3.5 ounces, he's underweight. But he sure seems healthy. And loud. So very, very loud.

I'm glad Thor's story has a happy ending.

Alas, no. He died at about midnight last night. i don't regret trying but I'm bitter and angry at having lost. We did the best we knew how for him. It wasn't enough. Probably nothing was enough, but there you go.
