[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5634739, member: 177"] We have a new kitten too. Not to replace Tristan - my wife is a veterinarian*, and sometimes hard-luck cases just fall into her lap**. She's about 5 weeks old (so, not yet weaned), and watching her romp around is a joy. [size="1"]*Of course, when the doctor's cat gets cancer, it has to be the weirdo type that is inoperable and doesn't have any good treatments... :-S[/size] [SIZE="1"]**In this case, the kitten was 2 weeks old, rejected by her mother so she hadn't eaten in two days. She'd been dropped on her head, and was having seizures. It turns out she had an "open fontanelle", which means the plates of her skull hadn't fused properly, leaving a soft spot on her skull - which is just great for when you get dropped on your head! And, of course, the owners had zero money with which to treat the kitten. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
