Melissa Houle - 25 Jun 2004 21:04 GMT Hello all,
Just a quick note to say little TK is nursing well and growing at the age of five days, and Cesca continues to be an excellent mother cat. =o) TK climbs all over her as if she was a huge, furry boulder. I believe that Cesca too, is feeling better after her major procedure on Monday. She suns herself in my bedroom window for a few minutes every morning as a treat, and eats every bite I give her. So for the moment, the California kitten forecast is Sunny and Warm.

Great! I'm sure they're both darling.

I'm calling the kitten TK for Tiny Kitten, until I can establish its gender and/or it survives its first week of life. The odds for survival are looking very good, at this point, for which Cesca deserves 99% of the credit. Once I figure out if I have a male or a female, I'll give the kitten a gender-appropriate name. I think Cesca herself is feeling a bit better, too. She gets all the food she asks for, and more.

I've got a "TK" living with us (sleeping on the bed with my wife at the moment). He was a feral, 3 months ago, that we had been feeding for several months. In March he showed up with a nasty bite wound and we got him in a cat carrier and took him to the vet. When my wife was filling out the form at the vet, she got to "Name:" and put down the closest thing he had to a name. Every day we'd been calling him at dinner time by yelling out the door "Where's That Kitty" So, Name: "That Kitty". Now shortened to "TK".

I knew a cat called "TC" for "Top Cat." :) He was a big, bossy Tom.

Browsing through it, we realized the business was a pet crematorium and the accounting was complete with names of pets cremated. There was one cat named Boss Cat. For some reason, we laughed hysterically at that. In a sense, though, aren't all cats the bosses of their homes :-)?

You bet, just sometimes the people they own don't realize it. ;0)

VC for Visitor Cat came in through the cat flap one morning, and proceeded to adopt the family by acting as if he'd always lived there. Oddly, the resident cats did not object too much. =o) Katherine is sure she must have a sign saying SUCKER on her roof, visible to strays for MILES around. Just now, her cat family numbers five. Fortunately, she has a nice big house, and each cat is able to carve out some private territory for itself without anybody feeling crowded.

Probably some relative of Natasha's (new addition to my home). She has made it known that I'm now her property, no matter what the court systems might say.

I'm glad you took him in and that it's working out for all of you.
