Little Mist alarmed us greatly today. We have a planter table that she was collapsed in this morning and we were worried she was going to the Rainbow Bridge.
I already talked about capturing her to clean her eye out. That did a lot of good, but she was shivering constantly. Her ears were like ice.
So I snagged her again after we'd given her evening ration. I put her on a scale and she's just 1 lb. 6.2 oz. That's on the low end for a kitten her apparent age. Her eyes have changed color, her ears are up and she's got her canines and incisors. That's about 7 weeks! She's 0.2 lb. underweight, that's a big deal at this age.
I think she wasn't getting enough food and shelter to regulate her body temperature.
We held her in our laps and she stopped shivering! Lots of defensive purring, and eventually she started kneading.
While watching The Lightning TROUNCE the Avalanch I covered her up in a towel and she melted to sleep.
She's in a nice warm garage in a cat carrier at this moment. We're keeping her isolated until we can get a vet to verify she's not carrying anything that will take out the other three.
