An update on, and a new photo of little Gwen [View all]

I think this is the fastest imprinting I've ever experienced. I spent the night on the recliner with Gwen tucked in by my side. Can't say I got a lot of sleep but she sure did.

I've been feeding her a very loose slurry via an eye dropper and she really likes it. She is just at the beginning of the 'bumble' stage and likes to explore until she sees me. Then it's meow time so that I'll pick her up.

Merlin spent the night on the recliner, too, but now has started to swat at her. When I reach out to block him, he 'faints'. The rest are in their 'not THIS again!!!' stage. I have the pet playpen set up in the den so I can keep her separated from any jealous sneak attacks.

Right now she's snuggled up on the back of my neck.
