Update Update on kitten that had been hiding under a grill cover.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
It has been a month since we took in Bibi, a kitten who was hiding under my boss's grill cover for three days. This is a very uncommon video of her remaining still for over ten seconds. She's curious about anything that moves and most things that don't. She's healthy, and I'm incredibly thankful. She's officially worm free and out of quarantine. In one month, she's managed to triple her weight. We're going to have her spayed. The first available appointment we could get is September 14. She was around twelve weeks old according to the vet when we first found her, so this would make her around four months old now. I'm hoping that the September 14th appointment isn't too far out. Everyone says I worry too much. She is very happy at the house, but I'm still in the process of getting our other two adult cats accustomed to a kitten in their space. They are both older and very set in their ways and she wants to play, and they hiss at her when she tries. So she's been sleeping in my room and watching a lot of TV with me. I feed them together and they all get along then but they eat faster than her and they try and eat her food too if I don't stop them. Still trying to figure out how to make it all work. Nevertheless, I'm so happy we found her and that everyone caved eventually and let me keep her.

I’m happy for you both! I love your concept of a video to stress how sill she is - kittens! ❤️

Thanks for the update and for adopting her! Bibi is lovely! Wishing the best for you, your family and all the cats (eventually they will get along, don't worry).

Be sure that you are playing with her. If you tire her out, she’ll leave the older cats in peace. That will help them adjust to their new housemate! She’s adorable and I’m so glad you can care for her.

You are doing such a thoughtful and caring job of taking care of her. I love that she has her TV chill time with you. So sweet and nurturing.

a few squeezes from a Churro tube treat for the two adults will divert their attention and let the little one finish.

I had a feral street cat that loved to hide under my grill cover. She did this for over a year. Now, she is sitting on the back of the couch right behind me and is just waiting for me to give her more head rubs and belly rubs.

“I know she looks really really stressed out but maybe in a few months she might allow you to get a little closer for a pet” 😂
But seriously, she’s settled in beautifully, take a bow. She’s beautiful 🩷🫶

I'm kind of disappointed she's not named Char. ;) And, don't go for the belly... it's a trap... but, we all know you'll do it anyway.
