Meet kitten Etna! Named after the Italian volcano, this girl is the biggest kitten weighing in at 303g. She’s a beautiful grey tabby who’s certainly got a lot of spunk! I can already tell she loves adventure! @windycityfosters said.
This cuddle puddle will surely make you melt… it’s made of lava after all!🌋 #Loaslavarocks @windycityfosters said.
See how tiny Etna is compared to Loa’s paw? Sometimes pictures don’t do justice to how small a 1-2 week old kitten really is. @windycityfosters said.

Mama, your paw is dirty! Don’t worry, I can cleans it! #bathtimewithetna

More purritos with Vesuvio! Someone had a poopslosion today and since Loa doesn’t know to clean them, they all got a baby wipe bath! I’m a bit concerned she isn’t stimulating them as often as she needs to because Etna and Fuji both had tight and full bladders. Not to mention all of them peed a massive amount when I was wiping them down. I’m going to keep checking to make sure their bladders aren’t too full and stimulate as needed. Thankfully they should be starting to use a litter box on their own in a week. @windycityfosters said.
This kitten baby girl was made for the spotlight. She is never not looking at the camera! 👸🏼📸

I can’t wait to see how kitten Etna’s coat turns out! It’s a very dense and somewhat longer than the other kittens’ fur.

So what about the vet visit? Clinic manager STILL hasn’t gotten back, despite emailing her three times. I’m going to talk to someone else. This is how it is during kitten season… emails get lost and the clinic is chaos. @windycityfosters said.
May the 4th be with you! 🐾
This sweet kitten little family finally got a vet appointment today in a few hours! If you haven’t seen some of my previous posts, what’s happening is they are all sneezing. Not a major problem, but if it goes untreated, it could get much worse. @windycityfosters said.
I could not resist kitten Etna’s little spotted belly! Definitely one of my many weaknesses (including stubby triangle ears, tiny toe beans, and soft noses). @windycityfosters said.

kitten Etna hopes you have a purrfect day (even if it is a boring Monday)! @windycityfosters said.
Happy whisker Wednesday! ~ kitten Etna
This is the kitten version of the “pulling your hair and constantly hitting you in the legs with that darn plastic baseball bat” stage of childhood. @windycityfosters said.

Oh boy… we’ve got our first escapee! Really wish she would have started using the litter box before deciding to explore. Guess the floor will be covered in puppy pads until then!🤷🏻♀️ @windycityfosters said.

kitten Etna may be a wild child most of the time, but she’s turning into the sweetest little thing! She’ll climb into my lap and fall asleep every day (until Kea stages an attack)! I just love her.♥️ @windycityfosters said.

You didn’t think I wouldn’t photograph Fuji’s first time using the litter box did you? Well of course I did! In fact, both Etna and Fuji used the litter box today. Good job little ones!👏🏻

The litter is Yesterday’s News, a paper-based non-clumping litter. Tiny kittens can’t have clumping litter, because it could cause serious problems if swallowed. @windycityfosters said.
hunderstorms and cold winds mean I get to spend all day inside with this doll… Caturday done right. @windycityfosters said.
Don’t worry Etna, we’re all a little clumsy sometimes!
