As for Moses, he's growing every day! He enjoys staying up all hours of the night, playing with Lola, and climbing on just about everything he can! All the comments, support, and subscriptions to Moses's youtube page have inspired us to post more photos and videos, so stay tuned! We're hoping Moses can be the first cat to have his entire life (from 4 days old) documented online!
Thanks again to everyone who has commented on youtube and sent letters of encouragement to Mo! He appreciates it, and so do we!
I came across your blog via jezebel.com, and I must say, Moses is quite adorable. It's also very similar to the story of my cat Dewey (they even look similar!), who was discovered at around 2 weeks old, very badly abused. She's my little miracle 2 years later, and we love her to death. You are doing a great thing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lara! It's great to hear that little Dewey has overcome such a bad start. It breaks my heart that someone could abuse such a poor, defenseless animal. But it's reassuring that people like you help them turn the corner!
DeleteAgreed. I found my boys last July at about 8-9 weeks old in the middle of a four-lane rural highway, which thankfully didn't have any other cars out when I stopped to pick them up. I think they're litter mates, and they were certainly dirty and hungry when I got them. Now they're huge and happy!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! That gives us hope for Moses growing up to be a normal (and fat and happy) cat!
DeleteThat's great! That gives us hope for Moses growing up to have a normal life (and to get fat and happy!)...
DeleteWe do love cute kittens here in Norway! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jorunn! The support for Moses (from Norway) has been overwhelming. You are wonderful people!
DeleteGo Moses! Awsome story. Sure he is gonna have an AWSOME life. Signe
ReplyDeleteThank you Signe! We sure hope so! And with encouragement and support from people like you, he's well on his way!
DeleteI read this online today(in Norway), and had to look at your blog. What a cute cat =) I have two male cats, five and six years old.
ReplyDeleteAnother visitor from Norway here. :) You guys are doing a great thing, the world needs more people like you. Best of luck & a happy life for Moses. <3

Best of luck!
Woohoo Moses! Keep growing big and strong buddy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cat!
DeleteYou are doing a great job for moses. He is so adorable:)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Moses from Anett (Norway)
Put some ads up on this site to make some money while you're getting so many hits. I know caring for a baby kitten can get expensive! Or you can donate some of the money to your favorite animal rescue group.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great suggestion! We don't really know how to do that, but we'll look into it!
DeleteRead about this site in the norwegian newspaper, and I had to check it out.. It's the cutest blogg ever!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Moses, he's adorable :)
Thank you so much, Marianne! We're glad you're enjoying it. But then again, how could you not (as cute as he is!)...
DeleteKudos on the blog and baby Moses. He looks just like my Chai, only mine's 4 months old now! By the way, how can you be sure it's a male so early? Best wishes from France!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alba! Actually, that's a good question! I think we just assumed he was a male from the beginning, and the vet didn't really disagree!
Deletego Moses go!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from norway. you guys are effin heros.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compassion and love for this kitty!
ReplyDeleteMy cat was a rescue as well - she wandered into our family store all alone at around the same age/size that you found Moses at. I remember her little meowlings and feeding her with the syringe too. She grew up to be a strong and very determined cat - one that people always said was too mean, but I always said that if you had started out life the way she had, you'd be wary of strangers too. She always showed love to us though and we loved her - just wait till Moses is old enough for toys and tuna fish! She passed away a few years ago at age 21. I'm loving reading about Moses and wish him and you all nothing but the best :) lots of love and Chive On! ~from Chicago
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! The Chive is not probably, but DEFINITELY the best site in the world! Thank you for sharing your story, and for your kind words about Moses! He hasn't shown much interest in toys yet (his feet and tail are too fascinating!), but I'm sure those days are coming! Chive on yourself! (from Tennessee)
DeleteI love this! Thanks for sharing Moses' story!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Christy, for visiting!
DeleteMy ex-wife and I adopted two three week old kittens outside of a Target many years ago, and I remember the bottle feedings, the teaching of bodily functions, all of it. We were fortunate because we already had two cats, and while one was a little annoyed with us for bringing these two noisy things into her quiet home, the other took a few hours to adjust, then climbed right into the box with them and cleaned them, settling down to play bodyguard and help them sleep.
ReplyDeleteWe named them Benny and Joon. Joon was my baby. She followed me, snuggled with only me, and tolerated anyone else. Unfortunately, she died suddenly when she was only about 7, but she died knowing she was loved. Her brother Benny is still going, still a loving, playful old man at almost 15. I miss his little sister every day, but he always manages to make me smile...
Best of luck to you and Moses. He seems like he's a fighter, and he'll come out of this strong, more importantly, knowing he is loved, and loving you like the sun shines because you tell it to!
Thank you, Biggshow. It was a learning experience for all of us. But we're so lucky/blessed that all of them are happy and healthy. Our vet said that it's a coin toss whether they make it past adolescence, but we're so happy that Mo is doing as well as he is.
DeleteThe the crazy thing about Moses the cat is it's my life story but in a form of a cat. My name is Moses too, my mom left me as a baby, I went to a foster home for a while until my dad faught in court to get my sisters and me back. I would really like to meet Moses the cat, its amazing how different we all are but can live similar lives...
ReplyDeleteMoses the human
That IS amazing. Wow. Part of the reason why the name fits so well is the parallel to the biblical Moses (given in a basket, received by an adoptive mother), but your story is incredible. Both of you are true inspirations. This blog has restored so many people's faith in humanity, and we are honored that you would share your story with us. If you're ever around Tennessee, let us know! I'm sure Moses the Kitty would love to meet you as well.
DeleteI saw this on TheChive.com and I just had to love little Moses!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Chive Rocks. Plain and simple. If it weren't for them, Moses' story would have gone unnoticed. But as it is, he's one of the most famous kitties in the world! (And he doesn't really mind the attention!)
DeleteAhhhh. I have two cats myself. One's name is Quintin and the other is Clea, they are so adorable (especailly Quintin).
DeleteI found this on cuteoverload.com
ReplyDeleteYou guys are awesome. Thanks for giving this little life a chance!
Thank YOU, Kallisto, for the encouragement!
DeleteIt´s amazing how far a kitten drinking milk can travel. I saw him online at dagbladet.no, a Norwegian online news site. :P
ReplyDeleteHope everything is well with Moses.
Incredible, isn't it? A 5-week-old kitten that's already been around the world! Thank you so much for your comment...hope things are great in Norway!
DeleteThe most adorable thing I've ever seen! ^_^ each time I watch one of your video's, Mises reminds me of my lill kitty who was recently kidnapped :'| It maks me cry everytime. YOU GUYS on the other hand are the most amazing people I've seen. You saw a lill kitty and decided to help it instead of ignoring it as 99% of people would do. I not only envy you but you've inspired me.
