Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005BabyCat Update
Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly. She still crawls up and starts biting my face, that's the signal she wants the bottle. I let her have the bottle way too long, even after she was eating kitten food real well. But by my estimates she is six weeks old now and roly-poly fat. Friday she got her first big-girl shots and deworming. The booster is in 3 weeks, then she will have some immunity and be ready to go back to the shelter. Sniff. I think 9-10 weeks is probably old enough. I found a really good sale on premium kitten food, nearly half price. I bought six cases of it. I figure I will send a few cases with her. I also bought her an Alpine scratcher, some toys. I had bought a new kitten-sized litterbox which I don't need here, either. Maybe I should send a box of the litter she's used to, also. I'm looking for a pattern for a cat bed and am going to make her a tent, so she'll have familiar sleeping things. She is getting to have a quite a dowry.

I'm going to be particular about who gets this cat. It's different when you get all emotionally attached to them than it is just adopting them out from the shelter. Not that both don't equally deserve the best home possible, but it's somehow just different. Sherry > > > Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly.

But I think my husband is right when he says two is all we can handle right now--if only because I go away for a week at a time several times a year and I do not trust him to remember all the medicines and to keep the boxes right and to give them lots of attention. He would not mean to neglect, but he would forget. :( > > > > Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly.

He > would not mean to neglect, but he would forget. :( I suggest that you consider hiring a good catsitter while you are away -- it would probably take some burden off your husband and you'd know the kitties are getting all the detailed care they need.

(Although, he does put up with me! Doesn't get much stranger than that!) He loves his privacy--one reason we don't use a cleaning service any more, the other being that the chemicals they used brought on Cheeky's asthma attacks. > Babycat has now officially given up her bottle.

If only we could keep them all... Candace You want that kitten to stay with you. I can tell. > You want that kitten to stay with you. I can tell. ARRGGH. I can't keep her. I've hit cat critical mass around here. Besides, she's really getting on everybody's nerves. Yoda is chewing the fur off his front leg. I'm not sure I can offer to foster any more. He's getting too old and crochety. Not that I haven't enjoyed her, I really have. Sherry >> You want that kitten to stay with you.

Did your daughter's co-worker fall through? > >> You want that kitten to stay with you.

I guess I am getting the cart before the horse becuase I still think they'll take her. Hope they will. She can't go for 3 more weeks anyway, till she gets her boosters.

They always need to be spoiled. :) It must have been all the bottle feeding! >Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly. She >still crawls up and starts biting my face, that's the signal she wants [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Sherry Six weeks still seems early to me. But she certainly sounds healthy and happy and spoiled. Someone is going to get a lovebug kitty. :-) -- CATherine > >Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly. She > >still crawls up and starts biting my face, that's the signal she wants [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > -- > CATherine I agree, six weeks is too early. I planned to keep her for 3 more weeks. She'll be 9 weeks then. That's still a little early. Right now she is way too little to run around the house loose. She's so little and gets under your feet I am scared someone will step on her. Sherry > Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly. She > still crawls up and starts biting my face, that's the signal she wants [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Sherry Well done Sherry, it sounds like you've done a fantastic job with her. Jeanette Thank you so much for taking such good care of Babycat, Sherry. Best wishes,  SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly.

It must be hard to let her go -- hugs, Christine > Babycat has now officially given up her bottle. Not willingly.
