Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008kittens
I'm am very sorry not to have been here a lot during the last two weeks to check up on things, but it has been a very long two weeks after having lost Tony so unexpectedly. On the up side, I am fostering kittens. Two of them as I think I have said before. I've had them almost 10 days and they are getting to where they are really cute now. They are 5 weeks old and are learning to eat solid food again - I took them off it when I first got them because I thought they were too young to eat solid food. Now, they are much more ready. One of them is black as is a little bit ahead developmentally, the other one is tiger stripe and is just adorable. I call him mouse. Yes, I know that is dangerous - naming only means it is yours. He even answers to his name already! I haven't decided on keeping on yet. Currently fingers are not safe from either of these two, but this morning, the paper towel roll suffered casualties. It was a sad time and we marked it accordingly. They are both such cuties to curl up with in my recliner and will lay there sweetly forever - I think it is a bid to see how long to little ittie bittie things can pin my down to my chair. They may only be 5 weeks old, but they are NOT innocuous. They are great masters in the making. I finally charged the batteries to the camera, so I will get some pictures soon. I will have to showcase a spotty tummy. A very spotty tummy. This is just a warning to those who are susceptible to those things. :) Bridget - beginning to not feel quite so bad sometimes > I'm am very sorry not to have been here a lot during the last two > weeks to check up on things, but it has been a very long two weeks [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > morning, the paper towel roll suffered casualties.

How do the other owners feel about the bitties? I miss having bitties around, but then again, the owners are good at keeping us busy and happy too. Tanada has taken up the fine art of bathtub singing. She climbs into the tub and yowls for a short while, then comes out and glares at me, apparently because I didn't respond the way she wanted. Pam S. > <bridgetmba...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Pam S. The other two owners will come up to the kittens, give them a good sniff up and down, hiss, and then run like their lives depend on it. I don't worry about either of them hurting the kittens. And they don't apparently mind the smell of the kittens on me, as long as I am not actually holding a kitten when they come near. I am going to give them all another week and then I am going to let the kittens out for supervised playtimes on the floor in the living room. They are still so small, I am afraid I will lose them in the apartment if they aren't supervised! Tony would NOT have been happy with this setup, although he would have relaxed about it by now. He would just grump. That is why I never did fostering once he got past a certain age.

I would advise keeping both - "Da Boyz" were much less little terrors than Sammy was because they had each other to spend their energy on (and they were a comfort to each other - and still are). Purrs that everything works out for you and the "fosters" <BEG>! Hugs, CatNipped > One of them is black as is a little bit ahead developmentally, the > other one is tiger stripe and is just adorable.

There really is nothing quite like having a loudly purring kitten asleep on you, is there? Can't wait to see pictures of them! > Bridget - beginning to not feel quite so bad sometimes Somebody once said, "There is no psychiatrist like a new puppy", or something to that effect. (Sorry, I don't have the exact wording handy.) For some of us, this actually means new *kittens*, of course. :) Congrats?

(Sorry, I don't have the exact wording handy.) Actually, I think it's more like "There is no psychiatrist like a puppy licking your face." That still might not be exact, but it's closer. Or a kitty purring in your ear!

I think I'm getting textual Kitten Fever just reading about them! Bridget, I think Mouse the Spotty Tummy Greebling Hunter is trying to adopt you for his own! =o) So glad you have good company to ease the grief of losing Tony. (I'm a fancier of Spotty Tummies, yes... Every now and then, Francesca will give me a glimpse of hers, but only when she's in an exceptionally mellow mood.) Melissa > (I'm a fancier of Spotty Tummies, yes... Every now and then, Francesca > will give me a glimpse of hers, but only when she's in an > exceptionally mellow mood.) I'm lucky. I get a big (and I mean BIG) dose of spotty tummy every day. I even get to smurgle it. <blissful smile> SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > I'm am very sorry not to have been here a lot during the last two > weeks to check up on things, but it has been a very long two weeks [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Bridget - beginning to not feel quite so bad sometimes Thank you for the lovely update, Bridget. Lots of purrs and hugs, Polonca and Soncek |
