[Venkman sets the Pokegear down a few feet away, so both he and the Litten are in view. He picks up the Litten by the scruff, who mewls curiously.]
Um... God, I don't even remember most of the steps for that with a regular baby. Appearance is normal, I guess? I've never seen one of these before. It's, uh, fully-furred and fur condition looks good, eyes are still closed-
[Right on cue, the Litten opens its eyes, and looks up at Venkman. It mewls again, batting a paw up at his face. Venkman tries to hide the dumb grin on his face.]
Never mind. Eyes are open, and overall precocial compared to, uh, a normal cat. So that means these things develop a lot in the egg.
[He holds two fingers to the pulse point under the chin- the facial artery.]
Pulse is, uhhh... Feels fine to me? I've never really done work with cats before, Egon, you know this! Oh, whatever. Resp rate seems fine, too, breathing regularly and it's crying without problem. I don't exactly have a stethoscope to listen properly, but-
[He holds the Litten up to his ear, shoving his face into the chest. It meows in protest and digs its kitten claws into his face. Venkman frowns at it.]
Purring a lot, hard to really hear, but heartbeat sounds normal, no abnormalities I can recognize. It's not gasping for breath or anything. And activity is fine, it's definitely moving around a lot. Clawing me to death. Oh, and I don't really see a cord, but obviously there should've been one attached to the inside of the egg, right?
What's left? What's the G stand for? Uh, uhhhhh- grimace! Right.
[He pinches one of the Litten's toe beans. It squeaks in protest and yanks its foot back, glaring at Venkman. It then coughs up a small fireball in his face.]
JESUS-
[Venkman jerks back, luckily not losing his grip on the kitten as he stumbles and falls on the floor. The fireball dissipates after a few seconds, only singing the ends of his hair and the tip of his nose, but Venkman looks bemused.]

... So that's a good reflex response, huh?
