Time for a Snack attack update! 🐱💥

Snacks continues to grow like a w**d and has officially discovered his exploring legs! 🐾

And apparently, the entire house is now his personal adventure playground.

He has mastered the stairs ✔️
He can climb the scratching post ✔️
And he has selected his favourite napping spot: the back of the couch, where he can survey his kingdom like the tiny overlord he believes himself to be. 👑😂

Meanwhile, the humans have been busy with a little project called Operation: Kitten-Proof the House.

Doors to rooms where he might get lost are kept firmly closed, and we have developed a new habit of checking where our feet are BEFORE taking a step.

Because Snacks may be tiny, but he has absolutely no appreciation for the dangers of being underfoot.

In fact, he has discovered what is apparently the most entertaining activity in the entire world…

ANKLE BITING. 🦶🦷

Walk past Snacks? ATTACK!

Stand still? ATTACK!

Dare to move your feet? Oh, you have made a terrible mistake. 😂

We may have successfully graduated from the food-on-the-forehead stage, but we have now entered the tiny velociraptor phase.

Send help. And perhaps some thick, fuzzy socks.

Toddlerhood is going to be interesting. ❤️🐾

I’m excited and honored to have been asked to join the committee working to establish an association for veterinary technicians in the State of Utah!

This is something I feel passionately about. Veterinary technicians deserve the guidance, support, and professional recognition they need to thrive in their careers. Equally important, pet owners deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing the people caring for their beloved pets are appropriately trained, competent, and working within their scope of practice.

Today we held our first meeting, and I’m excited to be part of the conversations and efforts that will help shape the future of veterinary technicians in Utah.

Here’s to building a stronger profession, supporting our fellow technicians, and making a positive difference for the animals and people who depend on us! 🐾

YAY! 🎉

The slurping phase is officially over! 🥳

Snacks is now eating like a normal cat!

No more sucking up his food like a tiny vacuum.
No more using his feet as utensils.
And best of all… I can leave food down and he will actually go eat when he’s hungry! 🙌🐱

He’s also starting to groom himself after meals, which is a pretty big step toward becoming a proper little cat.

Playtime is getting much more exciting, too!

Although, at the moment, Snacks’ definition of “playing” is still mostly:

See human.
Attack human.
Attempt to eat human.
Repeat. 😂

We’re still working on the whole drinking-water thing. I haven’t actually seen him drink yet, but he’s getting plenty of moisture from his food and he’s producing urine normally, so for now, we’re doing just fine. 💦

From bottle baby to independent eater, from food-covered forehead to self-grooming…

Welcome to toddlerhood, Snacks! ❤️🐾

Now if we could just work on the whole not eating the human thing…

Two firsts for Snacks today! 🎉🐾

✂️ His first nail trim!
And…

🥣 His first kitten kibble!

And I think it’s safe to say the kibble was a HIT. 😂

This little guy went from struggling with slurry to happily crunching kitten kibble in just two days.

At this rate, I’m starting to wonder…

Are we entering an accelerated growth phase? 🤔

Because it certainly seems like it!

Every day, Snacks seems to wake up and decide he has mastered another kitten skill.

Eating independently? ✔️
Kibble? ✔️
Nail trim? ✔️
Growing like a w**d? Absolutely. 😂

At this point, I’m just trying to keep up with him!

Slow down, Snacks. I’m not ready for you to grow up yet! ❤️🐱

Another milestone for Snacks! 🎉🐱

Snacks has officially fully transitioned to canned food! 🥳

Today, he ate just under a full can of kitten food—which is exactly where he should be for his caloric needs. So this little guy is officially fueling himself like a proper growing kitten! 💪🐾

And perhaps the biggest victory of all…

WE DIDN’T NEED A BATH.
NOT EVEN ONCE. 🙌😂

I cannot adequately express how exciting this is after the food-on-the-head era.

Now if he would just keep his feet out of his food!

Apparently, every meal must first undergo a thorough flattening process before it is acceptable for consumption.

But hey—he’s eating, growing, and staying mostly clean!

Next hurdle: DRINKING WATER. 💦

Stay tuned…

It’s a Snack attack! 🐱💥

Snacks has officially been with me for one whole week! ❤️

When he arrived a week ago, he weighed 311g.

Today?

478g! 🎉

That puts him right where he should be for his age—and he is clearly doing a fantastic job of growing!

Speaking of age… Snacks continues to have a very interesting relationship with developmental milestones. 😂

His body and facial features look more like a 3–4 week old kitten, and his eyes are still that beautiful, slightly discolored kitten-blue.

But then there are his teeth.

He has ALL of his baby teeth! 🦷

And those usually don’t all show up until around 7–8 weeks.

So we have a bit of a mystery on our hands.

Either Snacks’ teeth decided to get an early start…

or the rest of him is running a little behind schedule. 🤷‍♀️😂

We already established that teeth don’t lie.

So I guess that makes this little guy…

Week 5 going on 8! 😂🐾

At this point, I’ve stopped trying to figure Snacks out.

He’s clearly going to do what Snacks wants to do, when Snacks wants to do it.

And honestly?

That tracks. ❤️

09/26/2026

So much improvement in the last 24 hours! 🥹🐾

Snacks has been eating his mousse (not mouse! 😂) consistently throughout the day—and he has now started refusing the bottle!

That’s a pretty big milestone for this little guy. 🥄❤️

He’s also been sleeping a LOT, which is completely normal at this stage.

After all, learning how to eat, use a litter box, coordinate four feet, and generally figure out how to be a kitten takes a tremendous amount of brain power. 🧠🐱

And all that learning means the brain needs plenty of sleep to process everything.

So Snacks’ current schedule is basically:

Eat for 3 minutes.
Sleep for 3 hours.
Wake up.
Eat for 3 minutes.
Sleep for 3 hours.
Repeat.

Honestly… he may be onto something. 😂

It’s hard work growing up! ❤️🐾

*sound on to hear the little slurps ❤️

09/25/2026

Milestones reached today! 🎉🐾

🥄 Successfully ate off a spoon!

Granted, there was also a considerable amount of mashing the food with his feet between mouthfuls.

Perhaps that adds flavor? 🤔😂

I’m not judging. Whatever works, Snacks.

🚽 Successfully peed AND pooped in the litter box after each meal!

YAY!! 🎉🎉

Apparently Snacks has decided that the litter box is an acceptable place for bathroom business. We’ll take it!

And finally, in keeping with his unwavering commitment to “I’ll do it my way,” Snacks has decided that the ideal sleeping position is face-down, buried in the blankets.

How he breathes like that is a mystery.

But he seems perfectly happy with the arrangement.

At this point, I’m beginning to suspect Snacks has his own instruction manual—and absolutely no intention of sharing it with us. 😂❤️🐱

Snacks had his first semi-solid meal today! 🥹🐾

Although there is considerable debate over how much of it actually made it into his mouth. 😂

In keeping with his ongoing commitment to doing everything his own way, Snacks appears to have concluded that the traditional location of a mouth is merely a suggestion.

He dove face-first into his meal with the confidence of a kitten who absolutely knew what he was doing.

Spoiler: He did not. 😂

There was tremendous gusto. Lots of enthusiastic sucking noises. And a whole lot of what appeared to be eating with his forehead.

At one point, he lifted his head and I discovered that he had somehow managed to distribute dinner across his face, his head, and the floor—while leaving the actual mouth portion of the operation somewhat questionable. 🤦‍♀️😂

Honestly, it looked less like a kitten eating and more like a tiny furry Roomba trying to clean the floor with its face.

But hey, it was his first attempt!

He may not have figured out where the food is supposed to go yet, but he has definitely mastered the enthusiasm part.

We’ll call it a successful first lesson in the complicated art of eating with something other than your forehead. 🐱❤️
