She was found under a dumpster behind our clinic with a few siblings. One of my coworkers took the orange and named him Apollo, so naturally I had to name her Artemis! (And the other kittens have homes too). Taking her to the vet soon and then gonna introduce her to our other cat Mildew

Mildew is an awesome cat name

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 21 points 1 day ago

Yer gonna post pics of the introduction to Mildew (along with an explanation for that name), right?

[-] lefty7283@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

He started getting bullied by the other cats he was living with so we got him now. We thought mildew would be a silly name for a cat so now that’s his name (his deadname was mulligan)

[-] notabot@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

his deadname was mulligan

Perfect. He gets a do-over with a new name.

It’s settled. My next cat is gonna be mildew

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that name had to go. Cool that you seem to like rescuing under~~dogs~~cats!

Aww at that weight she must be made of Lithium Hydride (LiH), that's the only weight should could weigh about 5mol :-)

[-] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I have several questions, but I think I'm good not knowing more.

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

The character and actress is great. Unabashedly knows who she is and owns it

The only way to make it is to shake it.

Shake it.

And that’s what I do.

I shake it.

Or:

He was gonna find out anyway.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Anyone wanna drop the name of the show?

[-] Amarlune@lemmy.zip 4 points 15 hours ago

Its always sunny in Philadelphia. 10/10 show, the main characters are just... Terrible, terrible people. Apparently each one of them represents a different personality disorder.

Trash cats are the best.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Dumpster ~~kitten~~ princess.

Ftfy. Also the fuck is up with your scale? Is that grams ounces. Can't be grams.

Remember to target 10-12g of weight gain per day. Feeding every 3-4 hours. Hope she doesn't have latching issues. Faster you can get into solid food the better if can.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Half a kilo kitten seems about right?

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Yeah I just don't get what units it's in. Decigrams?

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Grams, it says if you zoom in, the "g" is in an unfortunate position making it look like a comma.

[-] lefty7283@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s set to grams I guess?

Were guessing she’s about 5 weeks old. Shes having no issues with wet and dry cat food, apparently the kittens and mom were being fed regular cat food in the days before we got them

[-] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

You dropped this \

[-] QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago

Have you looked into TNR organizations in the area? Mom may already be pregnant again.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Tiny kitty 🥰 hope she is healthy and gets along well with your other cat. And that you post more pictures of them

[-] notsure@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago
