Look who is eating out of a bowl!!

Merlin bumbled in to the kitchen and started munching away on a scrap of food in one of the big kid's bowls. I grabbed the kitten slurry, got him his own bowl, and he dove right in!

This will make my life SO much easier!!

Aww. IttyBitty baby with a big bowl! CousinIT Oct 2024 #5
It's hard to think of him as being at least 5 weeks old, and plenty ready for this kind of thing, because he's so tiny Siwsan Oct 2024 #7

As I was cleaning him up I thought DAMN, I should have gotten a photo of his foodie face!

Now he's curled up on my friend's shoulder, giving mine a break.

This morning he pounced on me, and went to war with the strap on the playpen. Now to get him to CONSISTENTLY use his litter box.

I remember, when I fostered kittens, how some would just put their face in the bowl & end up with their face covered in food. Food face. It's a wonder they didn't drown, but they were fine.

Merlin is thinking "I like the foodz! The foodz is good!"

I suppose it could have been cereal in a bowl with a spoon, but I did have a pretty good idea I was going to see a little black furball, though.

Cheers!

Did he do a good thorough wash-up afterwards?

I'm all grown up, see?
Eating out of a bowl, like a big boy!
Expect purrs and sleepiness afterwards!

You may observe some excretory effects from his change in diet though. 8-)
