Baby got first shots and deworming and is feeling pretty puny. I hope I don't wake up to a dead kitten in the morning. Those shots can make them sick.
I'll be up all night with worry.

If he dies in his sleep I'm going to yell, "I told you so!".......

I have tried a pot on the stove but I don't have much control and it spills and runs down the pot. I use a Pyrex glass measuring cup but it is useless when pouring. The water goes everywhere. Does anyone know of a good pouring container that can be microwaved?

Do you have a tea pot with a spout?  

You could always microwave in a pyrex cup and then pour it into the tea pot (while the pot is sitting in the sink.....).

Or you could just plan ahead and heat a pot of water on the stovetop while you're prepping your dish to go into the water bath.  A tea pot with a spout is the answer for you for pouring safely.
