Foster Kitten Shocker!

I took Sumu in for a checkup and booster today and was informed that....she's a girl! Which is fine, since Sumu is a nice gender-neutral name, but her kennel card did say "male" so all this time I've been thinking she was a boy! She is doing well though, weighs 1.5 lbs. Still has lice, so she gets another Dawn bath Friday. She actually seems to enjoy the bath and blow dry, just hates the comb out. Also got a change in wet food since she has refused to eat the turkey kitten food she was sent home with. She got some liver and chicken and was lapping that up this evening. She has gotten considerably more vocal the last few days and is very affectionate. I still can't let her out of the playpen to roam because she's too small. It will be a couple more weeks for that.
