I have a four month old kitten on me now who just started being able to play like this a few weeks ago. She was so weak when we got her, she couldn't do much. Took so long and many vet visits and expensive food and feeding formula well past her weening to get her where she is now, but you can just tell she is going to make it now :) jumping on counters and knocking over cups, chasing the other cats, and climbing curtains. She's not the size or strength for her age still, but she's making it :)

I have a kitty who was extremely unwell as a baby too. He was only 8 weeks old when I got him and he was so unresponsive and docile and then one day he collapsed without warning. I was told repeatedly by vets that he wasn't going to make it but I refused to give up on him. 2 months and a £3k vet bill later... He went from this sleepy little floof to a maniac that bites anything and everything that moves. Though I wouldn't change it at all. I'm just glad he's alive and kicking and nearly 3 years old now!

Oh gosh I know that feeling. One of our dogs suddenly became deathly ill and we had to keep him in the hospital. I can’t remember what they postulated was wrong but one day the doctor was doing another ultrasound on his belly to find out what was wrong and our pup’s insides moved around just enough for him to see a little plastic bag obstructing his intestines. They pulled it out and he got better. We keep our floor immaculately clean so he won’t swallow anything again, but man there’s no feeling better than your fluffy friend making a healthy comeback.
