I even have his baby pictures! From the very first night we brought him home (the bouncers in the bar gave me a cardboard box for him. The noise in the place was deafening and I didn't want him to stay there so I took him to the car.)
He was so tiny he fit in one hand -- very malnourished though the vets thought he was about 5 weeks old. I bought a bottle and kitten formula and HE CHEWED THE NIPPLE OFF. I was like, right, let's go straight to wet food. He would growl and sit on the food while he ate it - I rather imagine that is what he did when he was in the wild, sitting on the bird or rat he was eating. He slept on my chest that night and the next morning we went to the vet's to get checked out (cuz feline AIDS and distemper is our harsh reality here :(((( ).
He was incredibly healthy for being so dehydrated and malnourished so home we came. It was hot that summer and he has allergies so I remember putting him on ice packs.
