Cuddles and the ever-faithful Lion

Description

Poor sick little Cuddles got some comfort from being close to Lion but isn't depending on him as much as Scotty did; of course, Scotty was younger and about half Cuddles' size. His chest fur looks ratty because we helped ease some of his congestion with Vicks VapoRub. When he's recovered enough, Mom plans to bathe at least the chest area with a bit of Dawn in water, as this is used to clean animals caught in oil spills; thus, it must be very mild. We try bathing his face to keep it as clean as possible, but he doesn't have much of a face, so it takes a delicate touch not to hurt him, especially that little pink nose.

He looks much better as of 3 a.m. Saturday. He's gained several ounces, and he's eating formula, fish (packets for cats), and a bit of hard food. He was dependent on formula, but I decided that I'd sneak in water because he wasn't getting enough. I filled a baby bottle, and I've been getting swallows in him though he obviously wants formula. Once he gets stronger, perhaps we can take him to the vet. We think he just had a cold because it's clearing up faster than we expected. The wee hours of the morning are still rough at times, but that's when bodies are at a low ebb.

Aww I hope he feels better, when one of my kittens wouldn't drink water I heard that clear pedialyte helps them keep hydrated and it's easy to put into formula for them
