r/IllegallySmolCats

House of Smeeg continues to harbor illegal criminals under suspicious of cuteness and failure to thrive. Baby Dr. Grey is finally managing to gain weight though! It took about a week of roller-coaster weights, then a vet visit for B12, panacur, Clavamox (round 2), sub-q fluids, and general checkup, during which his development was called "suspicious" for indications of birth defects that might hamper his growth. Then we came home and did much more stringent feeding rules, including 3am sub-q fluids again and subsequent tube feeding. Now, however, he seems to have perked up and is latching well! So happy!

Brand new sentence from feeding time last night, a la my husband: "Don't treat him like a soft serve!" (Dr. Grey was pooping and I was holding him over the small trash can to catch it, and admittedly was a bit high on painkillers due to a tooth problem, so I started... making little swirls as the poop piled up.)

Brouette was catching some zs on the durum while I was losing my mind

Baby girls three brothers (who were found a few weeks after she was rescued from a loading dock) are doing great! Got updated pics from the foster….LOOK at these distinguished little gentlemen!

I can’t have 5 cats…I can’t have 5 cats…I can’t have 5 cats….

Figured I'll give an update on the kitten I saved from along the road, just finally found her a new home. I already have two cats and as much I wanted to keep her I knew it was best I gave her up due to some unfortunate circumstances coming up in my life. I'm gonna miss the little fuzzball, she was one of the best things to have happened to me in months.

it’s head was walnut sized

Intake last night, crusty eyed and flea ridden and hungry little hippos.

Found these 2 newborns on my patio last night.

SWIPE TO SEE THEM FORMALLY SMOL!

Kitten season is finally starting to wind down at our house and the first group of former smols are finally getting paroled and going to their furrever homes next week! It's always bittersweet saying goodbye, especially with a sweet group like this 🥹 But knowing they're all going to amazing families helps with that. One group down, two to go. Have the best life ever lil ones ❤️ Mama Shortstack is also on her way with one of her babies, which is big considering when I found her pregnant she was pretty feisty and usually when that happens it's a TNR situation. So I'm filing this one under the big win category for rescues/fosters 😻😻😻

-Edited to add....I kept trying to put the second pic first. Not sure why it loaded the other way every time I tried, but swipe to #2 to see them as illegally smol!

Reposting from my u/MalanimalsCatColl profile because either that account is f’ed up, Reddit is f’ed up, or I’m lousy at social media.

Not much news to share and that’s a good thing! Micro continues to thrive. She’s just over one whole pound now! Still pretty tiny for her age - just over 8 weeks now! She gets to free roam with the bigger foster kittens and it’s quite the ruckus! She eats regular kitten food, purrs with her whole body, and - still - yells at me constantly! 😂 I feel like she’s going to grow up to be a scrappy little thing; like a little girl who grows up with only older brothers. 🤭 I’ll try to post more often, but you know, life and stuff.

Blocking the entrance to the conference rooms with their criminality. What does one do??
