What an exciting week for Molly, thus far!

• I got her a brand-new litter box. Although I was careful to always use litter box liners and periodically washed the thing with bleach, the old litter box was showing its age. And smelling its age. She’d been using the old one for something like a decade, and possibly for her entire life. I’m trying to remember if that crusty old box was the very box that travelled in the back of the Subaru when I moved to Seattle ten years ago. I think it probably was. Gross?
• Per the vet’s advice, I’m feeding Molly cans of lovely wet cat food on a regular basis now. The hope is that she’ll gain a bit of weight. She’ll never be a chunky kitten, but if she weighed more than 5½ lbs. that might be good, or so the thinking goes. Yesterday when I brought home the new litter box I distracted her by feeding her a can of the chicken variety. While her back was turned, I swapped out the old box for the new one. She has been dealing with the change as well as can be expected. It’s good enough to defecate in.
