By the way, the newborn appears to be doing fine. The biggest challenge has been keeping up with its toileting needs since those functions are not fully functional yet.
So here goes. Jess brought Jace over to the house this morning so she could go to work. After she parked and got out of the car she heard something making a little noise. She investigated and finally found a kitten in the drive way. The little guy appeared to have been relatively newborn. It still had the umbilical cord and still had some of the afterbirth on it. The guess is that the momma had it nearby and was moving it to a safer location and perhaps was scared away when Jess drove up.
Fortunately Jess had to work early this morning. If she had had to go in lkater this afternoon the poor little thing would have had a rough time in the afternoon heat around here.
So Julie is playing Momma Cat now. I bought some kitten formula and a kitten bottle for Julie to use. Julie said the kitten has eaten and is snoozing right now. I will get some pictures of it later and post for all to see.
