UPDATE

Unfortunately, the Mommy cats were not willing let Atticus nurse. The woman we left Atticus with, although very well meaning, misrepresented her ability to take care of such a fragile guy...he not only needs to be fed every few hours (although he prefers to snack every hour...have to get him out of that habit), he also needs to be stimulated to poop and pee. She called us on sunday exclaiming that Atticus was just crying and crying and would not eat, I knew immediately that he needed to go to the bathroom...so I called Dan and we rushed out to pick him up. He is doing well...eating, pooping, peeing, and sleeping like a champ. Dan took him again last night, and I will have him tonight. Sadly, the more he is with us the less likely another cat will accept him as a foster kitty...and of course, the more and more we take care of him the more and more we get attached. Dan is already deeply in love...because I have done less of the care taking, I am more deeply infatuated...but its only a matter of time at this point :).

So keep your fingers crossed...he is such a sweet and strong kitty, we are hopeful...but need all the well wishes we can get.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Joshua came to us last night and said "potty" and FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, (for me) he sat on the potty and went potty. I was so excited that I picked him up and started celebrating, he quickly informed me "potty! potty!" - meaning "Mom, I am not done yet!" hee hee :). We will start potty training more consistently soon...this week we are trying to get his eating back in order (he refuses to eat dinner and snacks all evening). Plus with Atticus....I just thought three big changes was a bit much!
