I'm so sorry ORH. His last days were spend with people who cared, that's a blessing. Thank you for trying.

What a thoughtful thing you did, ORH. Best wishes.

So sad the little guy didn't make it but you did a wonderful thing in helping him have a home for a little while. Sending some hugs your way.

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
I just read this thread, enjoying what you had done for the little guy. I hated to read that he had died.
Last year we took in three abandoned kittens near our church. We bottle fed them. One eventually died but the other two survived. We gave one away to friends and kept the other, named "Princess" by our youngest son. Princess is still thriving more than a year later.

Oh, I'm so sorry, ORH. He no doubt had the best days of his little life with you.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Echoing everyone else, ORH, I'm sorry to hear about the little guy. You did what you could - hang in there.

Sorry for your loss. Its always very hard to lose someone you love, even if he was only in your life for a short time.
I echo what others have said: you did a wonderful thing to show him love while he was here.

Update. Found this guy yesterday, probably from the same litter. I think the mother might be deceased because there doesn't seem to be a darn thing wrong with him except for there being no mother around. He was kind of scared at first but he warmed up to me pretty fast and now he's fairly well domesticated for only being in the house one day. The only rub is that my wife is not too keen on keeping him. She's not an animal person, but I'm hoping I can convince her.

That little fellow is so cute that I bet your wife quickly falls in love with him and "lets" you keep him.
I like the Johnny Bench Wheaties box. Who is on the Pepsi Bottle?

Awesome that you've rescued another orphaned kitten.
Has the Pepsi in that commemorative bottle evaporated over the years? It looks barely half full. At one time I had at least one of those and the Wheaties box as well, among others. Remember the World Series commemorative Hudepohl cans? I had a bunch of those as a kid, thanks to my dad, but I don't have any of these things anymore. I guess my mom didn't appreciate their importance as much as I did.
