Again, you’ve done the right thing with Robin, @Samanthasays. As well as the great advice you’ve received here, I’m sure the vet will have some tips when you pick her up again. Pleased to hear the vet is watching her for awhile.
Re Ted favouring one paw, I had a couple of episodes similar to that with my kittens. It could have been how they landed in play, but I suspected at the time it was from them getting their claws hooked in things. At that age they have trouble retracting their claws properly and on a few occasions I had to ‘unhook’ them from something as they were struggling to free themselves (e.g., hanging by one hooked claw from the lounge!). That has got to put pressure on their little paws. All part of learning the ways of the world for these curious babies – but please get the vet to check it if it doesn’t settle in, I’d say, 2 days – or when you go to collect Robin if that's sooner.
Isn't it wonderful to see the quick transformation for Ted into a fearless and totally trusting kitty! He's gorgeous.
You’re doing a great job! Loving your photos which are bringing back recent happy memories with my litter. Please keep them coming!
