Mr.Pinto Bean is starting to loaf! 🍞 😻💪🏼🫘💜

Pinto Bean has a new warm place! I got it from Amazon yesterday and it's definitely warm! Pinto loves a good warm spot for napping.

For anyone who wants a health update:

He's had 6 doses of his medication as of this morning. So far his eyes have cleared up the eye goop, no more runny eyes. His one eye is still pink but it looks to be clearing. 🤞🏼 His vet called today to see how things were going and will call again after the week of meds to see how his eye is. 💪🏼🫘💜

Hey all! I can't believe we've hit 2 months old! Aside from the cold that's not giving up, I believe we are on the up!

His weight today is 1lb .95oz! He's gained almost 2 oz since the last weigh in. That was about a week ago. He's gaining, just slowly and that is completely fine. Pinto Beans are meant to be small 🤏🏼.

Poo 💩 update: his 💩 has been staying a firm but has moisture log. About 2 inches each time. The color is generally all one. 😺

He still is a foodie! He'll eat a little hard but he knows his soft Sheba kitten food is on the way! I usually try to carry him with his food but today I let him walk. I called his name and it took a second (he only has 1 way to get on the couch) but he got here and started smacking on the food. (Haven't forgotten to make a vid yet to share.)

He knows his name! You say Pinto Bean and he looks right at ya and depending on what he's doing he'll run at ya. 😹

He has finally purred! It's happened twice while he was snuggled in my neck head area. 😻 Then yesterday and today he's made 1 meow verbally each morning just before breakfast is fed. I had happy tears on both the purr and meow. Little guy has found his voice. 😻😻

He loves to play and run around. He's a quick little guy too! Once play is over and it's nap time. He naps just as hard as he plays. 💪🏼🫘💜

Have a question for y'all!

Pinto Bean will be 2 months old on the 10th, this Thursday. A normal kitten should weigh between 1.5 pounds to 2.5 pounds. Pintos last weigh is was at 15.5oz. His weight does yo-yo a bit.

The question is do you think he'll hit a pound or more by Thursday? What are your guesses? ( Ex: 1lb 3oz )

He'll get his next weigh in Thursday morning before he has his 1st meal. Let me know! 💪🏼🫘💜

Pic is of him and his older brother Mad Max.

Pinto Bean is doing well. He's gained weight. When I did his weigh in on the 2nd he was 14.5oz and today he's a whooping 15.5oz! 😸

Poo 💩 update: due to eating more soft food his 💩 is back to more of a soft serve ice cream. I don't see any worms.

He goes absolutely nuts during feeding time! 😹 I'll put the hard food down for the other cats and of course he goes in and starts eating on it too. I get his moist food ready come in and grab them from the other food and I know he can smell his wet food. And he starts wiggling in my hand as I'm trying to get him to his spot to eat so I can protect them from the others trying to get it. But as soon as I put him in his food dish down he goes right to it eating that is. He's definitely a goof and loves his food, even makes this little smacking noise when he eats I'll try to capture it one of these times and share it with y'all.

Now that we don't have the high temps right now, he's back to sleeping on me and being bye most of the day. He'll get up and explore and play but when it's sleepy time he's been coming back to me to nap. He's definitely a mama's boy. 😻😸

One question ❓ What would you recommend to help clean the eye goop stuff on his face? I use warm water on a cloth but it just helps loosen if his eye(s) are shut from it. He won't stay still long enough for me to keep the warm cloth on his face to get it off. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can use to help get him cleaned up quicker. TIA

I finally got a couple pics of Pinto Bean beans for anyone who wanted to see them! Got a back paw and the one in my hand his his front paw. These are the only Pinto Bean beans pics due to I do try and let him sleep when he is. Maybe when he's older and better I'll get bigger Pinto bean beans (if I remember)

They are a little dirty because he just got done eating a good breakfast and made a slight mess. He was hungry 😆. Now he's out and He didn't like me taking pics.

Once awake we'll try to get him cleaned up a bit so he ain't so dirty.

Today at weigh in he was 14.45 oz. He gained .05. 😁 A gain is a gain for this little guy.

Besides his weight, there's really nothing more to update about his health. Everything has been going alright. 💪🏼🫘💜 (Strong Bean Love)

Sorry I've not made an update the last couple of days nothing too huge I guess.

The last wait update I gave you guys he was 14.3 Oz and today he is 14.4 Oz. During these last three four days he's been holding steady might go down 1 oz from one day to the next like he did today from yesterday but he's holding steady and tomorrow he's going to gain even more. That seems to be the trend he's on right now.

His attitude is still the same, very fierce very determined and really coming into his own. He loves going up to the other kitties and cuddling with them and playing as long as they don't get too rough. He'll lay with another cat and just kind of watch everything till it gets sleepy and falls asleep on their fluffy bodies.

And even his poops are still doing good just a little quick update on that.

I still comb him everyday for fleas because he's one too young for treatment and two too little so he still gets combed he's gotten used to it.

Pinto Bean 🫘 is really nothing but legs LOL. He's got four very long skinny legs, he didn't get that from his mom, that holds up what looks like to be a little mini log with a head! Lol 🤣🤣🤣

The pics I took last night. I looked over and saw how he was laying there so cute so of course I had to get a picture both top and side view.

He still has to sleep with me generally on my neck or my head area. This little boy has definitely stolen my heart. So if you guys see a heart flying around just know it's mine cuz it's been stolen lol 😆 💜

Today the little 🤏🏼 bean officially weighs 14.3 oz! He gained an oz from yesterday! He keeps this up he'll be a full pound come Monday!

The sweetest sibling ever! Mad Max can be ruff but he does love his little brother and gives him a quick wash. Pinto Bean just wants to play. 😆 I'll post 2 other videos I made of them last night in the comments. It's all cute. 💪🏼🫘💜

He was laying with Ariel here and getting some snuggles in with her. And he would get a face wash. He's starting to understand that I'm taking his pics 😄

I had gotten my bag out and he decided it was now his to play with and then lay on for a short 2 second nap 😆. I've got a short bid of him playing with the straps. Will be in comments.

Then after all that he moved for a good deep nap. As you saw the other vids he's moving along and loves to play.

Poop 💩 update: After having some Sheba last night his little 💩 was actually a snake, still soft so he went easy but not like soft serve that's a little melted. His 💩 are doing better now with the soft kitten food. I looked and still no worms!

Speaking of the Sheba, he absolutely loves it! I still need to give him his last feeding of it for the night. One side I get 4 feedings until he's used to it. He's turning into a little pig with food! He's definitely getting an appetite. So maybe tomorrow I'll try to give him a little more soft.

He's my strong bean. And I think he's going to get through all this. He's one determined kitten. 💪🏼🫘💜

Ain't he just the cutest?!? He has his older siblings and cousins around and wants to play. The next video of these shenanigans will be in the comments. I'll have a full update on him later. Thought I'd share

Pinto Bean 🫘 is doing good! He's been on my crab meat Rangoon, checking it out.

Then evidence of him biting my coloring page. There is a video I'll share of him playing. Hopefully in the comments.

I was getting ready to go shopping and he curled up in my pj's and was there until I got home. 🥹

I got him a lot of the Sheba kitten food and he loves it! I gave him about half a container so he could eat all he wanted and he had about half then he went back to the hard cat food! He was on the hard food when I showed him his special food. He ate the kitten food and the like I said back to the hard cat kibble.

I have high hopes for this strong 💪🏼 little bean 🫘 that has taken my heart 💜.

What are you doing with your pups?

Mine will be getting extra treats today! 💜

In your opinion what would you recommend for a kitten pâté? My little Pinto Bean 🫘 needs a good one. He's been through a lot and he likes hard food but it ain't good for him. I'm trying everything to keep him going. He's been through a lot already. He's almost 7 weeks old.

My little boy is doing so well right now. He loves to sleep on me 99% of the time. He's almost 7 weeks old. When he's up he's a little spit fire! He knows where the water and food are. He'll nurse on Mama Kitten, she's not his mom, his mom at a month old ended up rejecting and quitting. Pinto Bean is the only one left. I did everything to try and keep em all alive. Anywho. Pinto Bean is a force to be reckoned with! 💪🏼💜

My Zeus can jump on these tall seats and sit almost like a human! He's able to curl his body to where he fits all his body on the chair when laying. He's such a good boy. 💜

Athena and Astrid absolutely love the pool and getting in. The others, only a ditch! Lol 🤣 They all drink out of it.

My Artic Snowflake 🥶❄️ with hers out! She's gotten so comfortable here that she has let her tongue slip out. 🫶🏼💜

We have made it! She is finally comfortable with everyone and comes out and lays by me and with the pups all the time. She'll come in asking for love and then ploop on the couch watching everyone. She's come a long way from that frail kitten from the chicken coop in the middle of the arctic freeze.

1st pic is Astrid and Lab and pit mix

2nd pic is The Dude, IYKYK, he's also Lab and pit mix. He and Astrid are litter mates. They are just over 5 months old.

3rd pic Left is Zeus and right is Coco Chanel they are litter mates. American Staffies 3 years old

4th pic is Athena, she's a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix. She's almost 1.5 years old.

This is my brood of pups. 💜
