Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2004Sammy's Six Pack
There are 6 pictures of Sammy and her 6 new babies posted at alt.binaries.pictures.animals. I was obligated to include a picture of my other sweetie, Cassie, who is never far from the action. She was making noises of inquiry during the picture taking as if to inquire whether she would be included, so I accommodated her wish. > There are 6 pictures of Sammy and her 6 new babies posted at > alt.binaries.pictures.animals.

No, there is a series of posts.

Rob, looks like one of the orange kitties is very light like Sammy. I think that is beautiful coloring. One thing, you don't notice the black one on the outside, at her back a lot, as we see in that one photo, do you? This was the first sign that a calico I fostered was rejecting one of her seven kittens. I am sure Sammy will not do this, but just wanted to bring it up so you'll be on the lookout. > One thing, you don't notice the black one on the > outside, at her back a lot, as we see in that one photo, do you?

Sammy seems to have at least one of the kittens on her back, under her tail, or in some other spot most of the time. It has the appearance of being on the outside looking in but she takes equal care of all of them. I guess with her being so small and there being so many babies it's hard to get a fit at the belly at all times. There always seems to be a squabble going on for nipples. Sammy has 8 nipples, 6 kittens. They don't usually arrange themselves in such a way that everybody has easy access. One in particular I notice is very physical - paddling and shoving at any kitten that crowds his space too much. > Sammy has 8 nipples, 6 kittens. They don't usually > arrange themselves in such a way that everybody has easy access. Whoa. Cats have eight nipples?? I could have sworn the calico only had six. > > Sammy has 8 nipples, 6 kittens.

Sammy has the first set almost between her front legs but slightly rearward. > Rob, looks like one of the orange kitties is very light like Sammy. I think > that is beautiful coloring. She is quite pretty >One thing, you don't notice the black one on the > outside, at her back a lot, as we see in that one photo, do you? Come to think of it, I might have pulled the black one out and placed him there myself to make him more visible in the picture. He's usually one of the ones most firmly fastened one to a nipple so I don't think rejection will be an issue. > I don't think rejection > will be an issue. Wonderful. What a handful!! I hope you find homes for everyone. Get friends and relatives in early so they will fall in love ! circa Mon, 14 Jun 2004 18:38:48 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, RobZip (robzip.takethisout@eudoramail.com) said, > There are 6 pictures of Sammy and her 6 new babies posted at > alt.binaries.pictures.animals.

Sammy looks a *lot* like Mamacat (the stray/feral/whatever she was who showed up pregnant at my house and who was the mother of Camille and Oscar)! Kittens are soooo cute. Hellions, but cute. :-) Laura SignatureExperience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. -Oscar Wilde >Kittens are soooo cute. Hellions, but cute. :-) > > Laura My wife has never been around a litter of kittens. I've tried to prepare her for the group invasions of toe biters that will visit the bed form time to time, the puffed up spitting attack and retreat attacks on the feet from under various objects and around doorways, etc. Looking around I'm kinda glad we haven't got around to new curtains just yet... :) circa Mon, 14 Jun 2004 21:14:56 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, RobZip (robzip.takethisout@eudoramail.com) said, > >Kittens are soooo cute.

A kitten I kept for a while long ago managed to climb inside the enclosure through the bass port at the bottom. He got his neck in between 2 of the wires and kept turning around until the wires were twisted tight around his throat. I had an electric screwdriver handy and managed to remove the woofer, unplug the wires and get him free before he choked. No more open faced enclosures if the bass reflex port is exposed. circa Tue, 15 Jun 2004 01:31:39 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, RobZip (robzip.takethisout@eudoramail.com) said, > > Take the covers off of your speakers, too. > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > him free before he choked.

That expression of hers in the picture is pretty much a constant. How can ya have a bad day with such a happy cat around? |
