Mr Totem, the lethargic, laying around kitty diagnosed with Heinz Body Anemia has transformed himself into a Lear Jet overnight. The vitamin b-12 shot, combined with the elixer and being fed pureed liver parts (cooked of course but still UGH!) has given this kitten his wings! He is flying around the living room today. He actually leaped over the top of my head this morning as I was bending over picking up kitty toys on the floor. I felt the rush of air past my ear, just like you would a bullet passing nearby!
He seems to have taken an interest in hands. They are simply not safe near him. “If it moves, then it has to be prey mom!” I have lost count of the puncture marks on my hands at this point.
This kitty is purr-fectly delightful. He has taken to crawling up Mike’s arm and he crawls underneath the sleeve of Mike’s shirt, pokes his head out of the collar and falls asleep. I need to get a photo- it is the funniest thing to see. His rear legs poking out near Mike’s elbow and his head resting on Mike’s neck! I don’t think this kitten is going to be going anywhere. He has found his permanent home right here. If his flying abilities continue, we will seriously consider turning the living room into an airport!
We love how Totem got his name, and are thrilled that he seems to be feeling so much better. We would love to see a picture of him playing inchworm in the shirt.

He’s a very lucky boy and of course, it goes without saying that he is adorable too!
What great news to read. Totem was fortunate to be found by you. Now he has the chance to be a loved and loving cat. But a kitten first!
