the meat paintings are, understandably, the pieces that elicit the most questions. the first is usually, “why meat?” the glib answer is: “you can only paint so many pears.” / scott conary, meat paintings.
Accidentally woke him from his nap and he is Displeased…
Last pre-feeding weight was 128 grams, up 25 from when I got him just 2 days ago. Doing pretty well with having gained a full tenth of a pound (aka over half his initial body weight) since the day he was brought to the shelter.
Good morning Rutabaga Comblebutts! You’re looking more like a normal ki-
Oh! Nevermind. You still very much look like an alien.
He spent the whole day just staring at everyone in spay/neuter
Oh! Oh! It finally happened!
Milk-drunk Rutabaga!!!
And a bonus picture where he looks like a baby cat for once
Rutabaga likes to tuck himself under his bear stuffie.
Rutabaga looks like an actual kitten instead of an alien this morning!!!
And if you look closely, you can finally see the difference between pupil and iris. The eyes are un-voiding
… For a kitten that is at minimum 18 days old he sure does stand well…. he should also be erupting canine teeth soon but doesn’t even have all his incisors in yet….
In reality I think this creechur is actually at least 4 weeks old. We’ll probably need to test for congenital hypothyroidism once he’s big enough to draw blood from.
Rutabaga still prefers to be swaddled for feeding so he gets turned into a little caterpillar every 3 or 4 hours
Good morning! Rutabaga is almost 200 grams. He has been given headscritchies on behalf of everyone who loves him
