I don’t really have anything to do with the fostering of this kitten. It is being fostered by one of the technicians that work with my Fiancee at the Vet place.

Here are three pictures, taken crappily with my phone cam, of the tiniest kitten ever. It was stupidly taken from it’s mother at the age of two weeks. It is really sad and cuter than a million other kittens all at once.

It is no bigger than a candy bar, and weighs about as much as three feathers. You could probably fit the whole thing in your mouth. No one is sure if it will live for very long, which is why you need to leave kittens with their mom as long as they need to eat from her.

Right now, this little guy thinks everything is (or at least should be) its mom’s milk-giving nubs. But everything is NOT that, and that’s how sad this is.

Hopefully the vet-tech gal who’s fostering will win this battle against stupidity, and this little kitten will be able to live beyond the next seven to ten days. She’s a real pro at the fostering thing.
