Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006One bitty has gone.....
We let them have one last romp together then put Trouble, the black and white bitty into the carrier. His brother, Chaos is looking a little confused. I've always wondered how kitten cope with being raised together with their brothers and sisters and then being separated. It seems a little sad but at the same time, that is the way life goes. I just watched my roomie leave with the carrier, and my heart is a little sad, but I knew that one was going to be defintiely leaving when they came up on wednesday. Chaos is right now on his back having a snooze, with his little bitty bellow open to be tickled. Kristi ps, see i TOLD you that i wasn't keeping them, well, ONE at least. We're going to be finding a home for Chaos, but in the mean time i don't mind taking care of a bitty Yeah right he has got a home right now admit to it > We let them have one last romp together then put Trouble, the black and > white bitty into the carrier.

I've just gotten word that the girl who adopted Trouble, is willing to adopt Chaos too. She already has three cats like me, but doesn't want to split them up. My heart is sad that tomorrow i won't have any bitty to play with. But at the same time, both bitties will have a nice large home with other cats to play with. *sniff* must go cry now.....

May be sad to see the other go but at least Trouble and Chaos will be back together and it will make it easier for them to adjust to a new home.

While the best scenario is to stay together, not many are that lucky and they grow up into healthy, happy kitties. Scarlett and Rhett were two of four littermates, and they got to stay together, but I use to wonder if they missed the other two, or if the other two missed them. They are extremely close. Rhett will go to Scarlett and lay his head down in front of her for a face cleaning. She does so every time. They have their play fight sessions, and sometimes one will squeal, and run off, but they still curl up together for naps. I'm glad they have each other, even though Shamrock and Bonnie adore both of them.

I have no idea how many sisfurs and brofurs Persia had, but when she came to me she was perfectly willing (and in fact, demanded) a human who would take care of her. She was probably 2 years old at the time. Just tonight she got into a hissy fit with the arched back and the huge puffed up tail because some cat (looked like a young one) decided to challenge her territory and peek in the window! Some cats like the companionship of other cats. Persia, clearly, does not. She probably doesn't remember her littermates except in an annoying way. So don't worry too much. The sweet little black & white bitty will be fine and so will the tumbling orange one. Just keep him busy with plenty of toys and attention until he is rehomed :) Jill > I have no idea how many sisfurs and brofurs Persia had, but when > she came to me she was perfectly willing (and in fact, demanded) > a human who would take care of her.

I have learned so much since finding these groups, and if I'd found them before he was sick, he might be alive now. He got megacolon and I didn't get him to a vet in time, didn't know he was in trouble, and didn't know how to pill a cat. He was probably only 13 years old when he was put to sleep in 2001. [history of Marley] He hated all other cats. My sister went to get Marley from a dumpster when our mom told us a co-worker of hers saw him there. My sis had several other cats, and one had kittens and Marley beat up on them. He held one kitten down by its ears and my sis decided Marley couldn't stay and was going to send him to the "pound". I didn't know anything about shelters and euthanization back then, but I couldn't see "sending him to the pound". That was in like 1992. My landlady let me take him in even though the lease said "no pets". I got Shadow because a neighbor put him out (1995/1996 or so) and wouldn't let him back in because he was flea-ridden. Hell, they let a visitor bring their dog in their apt and Shadow jumped from the balcony to get away from the dog. Before Shadow, I took in a kitten and Marley was so rough with the kitten that I let the person who adopted 2 of the other littermates take that kitten (Tiki) from me because I just couldn't keep him with Marley. I didn't know how to integrate them back then. Heck, I didn't know how to integrate Shadow with Marley either. They hated each other the entire time they were together. When Marley died, I think Shadow was finally happy being an "only" but I had to ruin it by fostering a bunch of cats. He got sick soon after I took in fosters. SignatureCheryl > They will be fine.

I adopted Ding and Rhonda together, with part of the selection criteria being that they were the members of their litter that came up to me. Indeed, when the cage was opened, while Rhonda's sister ignored me, Rhonda leaped into my arms and began,. most diligently, to wash my nose. AFAIK, they believe they are litter mates. To reinforce that view, they were adopted with the adult Mr. Clark, who immediately took on the role of a foster parent. It is fascinating to watch the martyred expression on the face of a former tomcat who is allowing two bitties to nurse on him. Hopefully, I'm going to be able to get my clowder back within a month or so. The resident Tiger (known to others as Fuzzbutt, but I don't pay him the disrespect) is an extremely nice fellow, and I hope he will get along with the others. I was offered a d*g to adopt from the pack. While the d-things are very friendly, I'm not sure I'd want that much energy. Don't know if Tiger is available, but he certainly gets much more attention from me and follows me around. > Hopefully, I'm going to be able to get my clowder back within a > month or so.

Aside from missing the kitties, how are the new location and the new job?

Still stretching, but I'm hoping to hear some new alternatives over the next week or so. Very little cash flow, in that my partner wants to run debt-free where bank lines are really necessary. He also reneged on a promise of leaving a car for me, and I'm in a semi-rural area. We may be able to get him to follow through on that. >> Good to hear from you, Howard!

I wish you luck with all of that.

I'm so glad you'll be reunited soon. They must miss you as much as you miss them.

Purrs for the bitty to have a long and happy life in his new home.

We had decided that "two cats is normal and three cats is pushing it, four cats is out of the question." We had Nox and Smokey; then we found Kumani and Tyche, 3 week old orphan bits. Well, if three cats is (barely) acceptable and four cats is out, then we would keep one and re home one once they were weaned, yes? No. They bonded to each other, HARD, so hard they SCREAMED when they lost sight of one another. That feline scream of agony that sounds like a crying baby. And they bonded to Dylan as their "natural mother." (At 9 months, when Kumani was at the vet overnight and quarantined 2 days more, both Kumani and Tyche were inconsolable and it went on until Kumani was back at home with us. We put them together in a big carrier so they dont' shriek in the car.) Out of the question? They didn't ask the question. They just made themselves at home... Purrs for the bits in their new home. --Fil >= >> > We let them have one last romp together then put Trouble, the >> > black and white bitty into the carrier. >= > > I have to admit that I am glad Trouble and Chaos will be together.

Karen once mentioned that Grant and Sugar would also yowl for each other when they were kittens. >> Well, if three cats is (barely) acceptable and four cats is out, then >> we would keep one and re home one once they were weaned, yes?

It was pitiful. > You had me worried for a moment when I read the header, I thought > one had died. Purrs for the bitty to have a long and happy life in > his new home. Me too. Does the new owner have instructions about taking him to the vet to address the diarrhea? Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
