Mmm, Catfood Shake

It's too soon to really tell, but we may have a winner in the Food to Wean Kittens By competition: Fancy Feast Ocean Whitefish & Tuna mixed with fresh kitten formula and blended into a thick liquid. Personally, I think it smells disgusting, but little Vir apparently does not agree, as he quite willingly -- possibly even enthusiastically -- ate some off of my finger. Getting him to take it from my fingertip seemed like a good idea, as he's always licking at my fingers, anyway, but it did reveal the fact that his teeth are beginning to grow in nicely. Ow.

I then tried to give some to him in a saucer, but he just stuck his face in it and got it up his nose, after which, understandably, he lost his enthusiasm. Still, I'm quite sure this time that there was actual eating going on, even if it was just a couple of mouthfuls.
