37. Guesstimating he is about 5 weeks old

He's definitely not the size of a 5 week old but he seems to be hitting the other bench marks. His teeth are fully in and his ears are wide open. He's racing around and climbing up on things and scratching around the litter box. Sometimes I 'prime the pump' and then put him in the playpen, which is where his litter box is, for now. He is a little slow to give up the bottle so I modified it for slurry. My guest leaves tomorrow so I'll have more time to concentrate on training him to eat out of a bowl.
