After days of round-the-clock care, bottle baby Pluto's latest update gives his rescuer a reason to breathe easier

The useful part

Caring for a newborn kitten is one of the quickest ways to forget what a full night's sleep feels like. The bottles never stop, the laundry somehow multiplies on its own, and every tiny milestone becomes the biggest event of the day. When a kitten is as fragile as Pluto, even gaining a couple extra grams can feel like cause for celebration.

How it works

• After an incredibly stressful start, Pluto finally gave everyone a reason to breathe a little easier.
• His latest vet visit brought encouraging news, with the biggest fear, feline parvo, looking much less likely than it did just a few days ago.
• Pluto is still much smaller than a healthy kitten his age, and nobody's pretending the hard part is over.
• The weight gain is reason enough to celebrate, but Pluto's personality is starting to shine through, too.
• He's already claimed a warm blanket and hot water bottle as his favorite sleeping spot, and he's apparently decided his human should never, ever be late with a bottle.

What to take from it

For now, that's more than enough.<a href="https://cheezburger.com/42034437/23-photos-o...

Details worth keeping

The tiniest victories are often the ones worth celebrating the most. Instead, this tiny fighter is doing exactly what everyone hoped he would. He's eating, staying hydrated, and slowly putting on weight.
