Sigh... KF indeed.  What is it about a pile of kittens that's so darned
appealing?  Oh, never mind, it's a law of the universe that what is
adorable all by itself only becomes more adorable when in combination
with other adorable creatures!

She seems to be one of the most social. I went over to my sis's
today, too, and the little calico tortie (I guess she's more tortie
than calico) has learned how to climb into the litter box. She was
even scratching at the litter and looked so proud of herself. :)  
They got their first taste of solid food.  I don't know anything
about kittens this young, but I mixed up some of Amber's Innova
canned with some KMR and let whoever wanted to lick it off my
finger. The black/white that looks like a baby Shamrock and the
tortie both learned quickly that it was food. They couldn't get
enough. They are all starting to get into play mode, and while they
wobble when they run, and their back legs don't do what they're
supposed to yet, they still run!  3 weeks old! I'm always amazed by
baby animals.

<G> I saw that!  hehehehe  I think someone can find her one. :)

Argh!  She's not all that far from me, and I've declared that Rita will
be an ONLY cat.......but I feel weak.  They are so cute....a little
kitten to keep her company during the day when I'm gone at work.....
Help!!  I'm allergic!!

Thanks Karen.  I so hope so too. I'm working on a flyer. She's a
sweet girl, but she needs to be either an only cat, or allowed to be
the aggressor. Typical tortie.

I'd never had a fully sexed female cat before Scarlett. Bonnie was
my first female cat, and she was spayed the day after I trapped
her. Scarlett was a sickly kitten and she went into heat before she
was healthy enough for a surgery. After seeing that, I don't think
I'd miss knowing what a heat looks like, but my sister is a single
mother of twin 6 year olds, so her focus isn't exactly on her cats.  
I hope they'll all be ok.

Pat, I've tried.  I even gave her the screen door that I made when
Scarlett and Rhett were kittens right after her idiot husband
brought Amber home, and I heard about how aggressive she was.  She
never used it to separate them. Tigger spends all his time behind
the washer/dryer in the kitchen just so he's close to food and the
litter box (which I had to insist she put there if he won't leave
that area, less she have lots of accidents) without having to cross
Amber. It's very sad. My sister just doesn't place pet integration
at the top of her priority list. I can't change her mind, or help
her understand that cats are people too. It's very frustrating.
