Sammy: Happy to report that it appears Momma and I are winning the
battle against The Evil Spot and her fluffballs (FB). First thing this
morning the hoomin loaded them into my carrier and hauled them off to
TED. When he came back he only had Evil Spot and Cali, the female FB.

Hoomin Note: Yes, a bittersweet day here. All the kits are now spoken
for, and the three males have been delivered. I'm satisfied with their
new homes and happy for them, but am also sorry to see them go and
already missing the boys. Two of the males will be going to enslave
TED. Dr Haney found a home with one of his clients for the third male.
Dr Haney definitely wants to keep Shadow. He's going to let the client
take her pick between the other two, and then he'll keep whichever one
is left to go home with him and Shadow. He's definitely of the opinion
that kittens do better if adopted in pairs. As for Cali, the only
girl, she'll be going home with one of my coworkers at the pizza
store. Dr Haney had a taker for Cali, too, but I'd already promised
her to the guy at work.

So far no luck with homing Spot. I went through the same thing when LB
had her litter. I found homes for the babies without much problem, but
not LB. Which is how I ended up being a catslave. I ended up keeping
LB (who the neighbor called the little bitty pregnant kitty) and the
most outgoing of LB's kits, Sammy.

Dr Haney is giving me a 50% discount for their treatment, to include
Spot's vaccinations and spay. Don't tell Sam, but if I can't find a
home for Spot she may just become part of the family as an indoor
kitty. Hopefully, once the kits have all gone to their new homes Spot
will settle down and get along with my girls. If they can't get along
Spot will have to be an in/outdoor family member, only coming inside
when I'm here to supervise. I'd much rather they get along so she can
stay inside fulltime, especially since there all busy four lane
streets a couple blocks away in two directions.

Right now Spot is the agressor in all the hissy fights. I'm hoping
that can be attributed to being a protective momma cat. LB is acting
extra grumpy, about like I would expect to any change in her
surroundings. Sammy is the surprise. She's been bouncing off the
windows and having hissy fits since last fall when Spot first started
coming around. When I brought Spot and the kits inside, I expected
Sammy to actively defend her territory, but instead she has just been
keeping watch and hissing whenever one of the kits approached. Sam and
Spot have even touched noses a couple times when none of the kits were
off napping and not around. Usually, when the kits are up and about
they hiss at each other and Sammy slinks away.

Right now, Spot is out for her daily walkabout in the OUT. Sammy and
LB are out of the bedroom investigating the mess left behind by the
kits in the living room. Cali is feeling lonely without her mom and
brothers, so she's following the big cats around, keeping her distance
as they turn and hiss every so often. Well, she just got tired of
being hissed at and not appreciated, so she just started calling for
her missing family. Spot came and started calling through the door, so
I let her inside. She and Cali had a reunion, while LB and Sam
retreated back to the bedroom.
