Sable slept soundly through her first night. She was in a basket with her blanket which surrounded her like her mother would. I just kept looking at her with amazement. To be so small, she's pretty hearty.
I woke her up to feed about 2:30am. She wasn't too thrilled with that! Kitten after my own heart. I used a different bottle feeder (more in line for ferrets) and she took a couple of sips and turned her head. I tried hand feeding her the formula...nope, nada, zilch. She wasn't feeling it. Instead, she crawled up my chest, put her head under my chin and curled up in my hand and went back to sleep! LOL
After being tucked back into her basket, I shook my head and said she was meant to enter into my life. The thought of that calmed my nerves and allowed me to go to sleep peacefully.
I woke her up this morning and she had something to say about that! Then she started licking my hand. I took that as a sign that she was hungry so I prepared her formula. Had to wake her up again to feed her. She took a few hearty sips this morning (YAY!), turned her head to me and looked at me as I told her she was such a good kitty. I was so happy. Sable, on the otherhand, was nonplussed. She stayed up for a couple of minutes but would not accept anymore formula. I was okay with that.
