Kimba the White Kitten and Day 1 Summary


I have been a little preoccupied with a kitten we found last weekend. He was hit by a car and left in the middle of Nottingham Parkway. Poor guy was stunned, bleeding, and his little eyes were swollen shut. Emergency vet said he broke his chin and stitched him up. Since his nose was stopped up with dried blood, he wasn't able to smell, so he wasn't eating. Whenever possible, I syringed liquefied cat food down his gullet, which he was NOT happy about. Thursday night he began to sniff around and has been eating on his own (almost non stop) ever since. He is named after Kimba, The White Lion (my favorite cartoon when I was little). you tube video of Kimba the White Lion



Yesterday's food log...

Day 1
Aug. 1, 2008

-Small amount of water, squeeze of lemon with 1 scoop MSM powder
-Green juice made with 6 large dinosaur kale leaves, 6 stalks celery, 1 pink lady apple, 1 yellow delicious apple, 1 lemon – made 2.5 cups – it was delicious but a little too sweet. One apple should do it.
-Salad made with romaine, green pepper, mushroom, carrot, sunflower seeds with a little homemade dressing (olive oil, Bragg’s liquid aminos, agave nectar, garlic, and salt – didn't add the vinegar)
-small banana
-A Few Almonds
-32 oz. water
-More Almonds
-20 oz. water
-3 Almonds, 4 chunks of Cantaloupe, a few sips of water

I came in from work very late and was feeling hungry - that's when I grabbed the almonds, cantaloupe, and water, then went to bed. It's probably better to eat more during the day instead of right before bed, but we were so busy.

Today is Day 2. I woke up pretty hungry and with a slight headache. Can't wait to have my juice.
