Why yes, I do have some more ridiculously cute kitten pictures. We estimate the kitten is now about 4 weeks old. His new trick is squatting and peeing if we hold him in place in his litter box. I have hopes that he will ever be house-trained. Alas, this only works for pee. His claws are very clawlike; I have to wear a gardening glove while I wipe him to keep him from shredding my hand with his rear claws. He's eating between 18 and (rarely) 30 mls a feeding. I've started him on sometimes having a little wet kitten food mixed with formula, but he's not very good at it and he's not very interested in it yet. Though he definitely has teeth now. He's not much for playing yet, though he sometimes gets a bit feisty, and he has his own toys for chewing or batting when we try to play with him. He can recognize us from close range and he's starting to look at us if we're across the room, though whether he knows what the movement is is debatable. He has a very carrying voice, especially in the mornings when he decides it's time for him to be taken out of his box and fed.
