Zilla learned to take her bottle very quickly. She also ate very well. She could hardly wait for you to fill the bottle. Her teeth grew in and she learned to chew the tip off the bottle nipple. We went through quite a few bottle nipples once she got teeth.
I don't think I have ever seen a bossier kitten. She wanted what she wanted, when she wanted it.
She slept on the bed next to me in a blanket filled box so I could feed her every two hours.
She grew quickly. We had no idea at this time about the disease that was lurking waiting to strike.
We did know however that Zilla's mother had received both rabies and FVRCP vaccines when she was about 1/2 through her pregnancy. We didn't know what effect on Zilla's health this would have.
What we did know was how much fun Zilla was to have around. She was quite spirited. She chewed off so many bottle nipples that we started her on some babyfood chicken and soft kitten food soon after those little needle teeth were fully in.

Zilla was such a sweet looking kittie, you can tell she had character!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Zilla's story. I look forward to following hers, and others, as you retell their stories (and yours). I hope that it brings you some healing from your many losses.
