Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Looky What I've Got
Take a look at this little urchin. I got her a couple of days ago, to foster till she's old enough for adoption. Long story short, some idiot brought her in to the shelter and said "We have this kitten. We have to get rid of her. My wife is allergic." Then some bogus story about how they "found" her. No telling what the truth really was. It's amazing to me how the cats reacted. They are not only taking this one in stride, but Frank just loves her. Bosley is the only one that has his nose out of a joint a little bit. http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenbottle.jpg Sherry > Take a look at this little urchin.

Or Siamese mix, and just too young to have her mask yet. I remember Frank didn't have a mask when we first got him. But she *is* odd-looking. The weirdest thing is, she has a really short tail, and the hair on it is curly. Here's another pic of her & Frank, you can see the coat color better. He just loves her. http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenfrank.jpg Sherry >>> http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenbottle.jpg >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Sherry She looks like my Buttercup when I got her... BC was about 4-5 weeks old (a feral mom who was looking like she was going to move the litter so the rescuers snagged the kits). We had her for about 2 days when our older meezer Ming adopted her. BC was just starting to show her mask at about 5 weeks, and Ming was about 1 and a half years old. Your baby is going to be beautiful when she grows up.

I have this feeling she is going to be a real beauty--not hard to figure out since she already is! Frank is so handsome. He is clearly smitten. How many cats do you have now? ;) > > > http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenbottle.jpg > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Frank, you can see the coat color better.

Looks the beginning of a beautiful, life-long friendship. What does the Yo-Man have to say about this? Phil >> I think maybe a Himmie mix. Or Siamese mix, and just too young to have > her mask yet.

It's soo cute of the two of them! Frank is gorgous and she (her back side :-) is very pretty from the side I could see. That's so great that they get along and that Frank loves her. What cuties! ML > > > http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenbottle.jpg > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Sherry What a sweetie! Our Tobes had a very short ratty tail when he was very young, my husband used to laugh at him and say he was like two separate halves as the front was all fat and fluffy, then it was like he was cut off! Needless to say, it grew into a very fine specimen of a tail, dark brown and very fluffy. > Take a look at this little urchin. I got her a couple of days ago, to > foster till she's old enough for adoption. Too darling (Frank, too, of course). Candace What a great picture! Love how enthusiastic little urchin is for that milk. She's going to be a cutie. Rhonda > Take a look at this little urchin.

I have 5 cats already. But that's the fun part of fostering--you get to cuddle and play with a baby kitten with none of the responsibility. (in theory that is).

It looks like "I"m > going with my Big Brother!" http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenfrank2.jpg It's kind of funny and kind of sad. Frank wants to mother it so bad. And the kitten just clamors to get over to him. But I don't feel like I can really expose him to her for fear of disease. Don't know anything about the kitten. I wish I could. She isn't even going to know she is a cat, or how to use a litterbox with no mama to teach her. Sherry > http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/kittenfrank2.jpg > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Sherry That is the cutest picture!! Can you have the little baby tested? You'll have to be her mama for now.

I asked, but the whole story sounded so bogus I think it was a big lie. He said he "found" a litter in "shed in an alley." I asked him, what about the rest of them? He said, "Oh, I didn't go back and check on them." I'm sure you already know how people will stand across that counter and tell you the biggest lies and think you're stupid enough to believe them. I kind of suspect he has the mama, and this is the last surviving kitten. Just my theory. Sherry > I do too. I asked, but the whole story sounded so bogus I think it was > a big lie.

Just my theory. Yeah, either that or she was a free kitten some shithead was giving away and now he realized he doesn't want to deal with it. I wish people would be honest. We could actually help them if they were. Like if he does have the momma, you could direct him to spay/neuter resources so this process doesn't repeat itself. I always suspect that a good number of the strays we take in are actually owned. I think word has gotten out that we take strays right away, or people are too chicken to admit they are dumping their cat.

At least he's not like the kid in Nevada who did the same thing, but tossed it out the window of his car instead.

Not only that, this is the critical socialization period when she'll learn to get along with other cats. Frank looks like an eminently qualified professor of felininity! I'm betting you'll keep her!

She's been checked for FELV/FIV, > right? No symptoms of URI? Not much else to worry about. It's FIP I am worried about. It's transmitted from mother-to-kitten, right? It just seems so prevalent here. And I've wondered about this, because I read it's a rather rare mutation in itself. Either it's unusually widespread in *this area* more so than average, or the shelter vets are using it a as a catch-all diagnosis when they really don't know. I just don't know what to think. Kitten is FeLV/FIV neg. If herpes was an issue, there would probably be URI symptoms or gunky eyes, right? Re: The other post--are you kidding--Yoda hardly raises head and gives her a passing glance. He's an old man and has seen too many of them come and go :o) Sherry > > > > > You HAVE to show them the ones with Frank!! It's sooooooooooooo > > adorable!!!! [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > It's FIP I am worried about. It's transmitted from mother-to-kitten, > right? Nooooooooooooo. There has never been a single documented case of vertical transmission (mother-to-kitten) of FIP. Ever. FIP can't be passed vertically because the mutated virus in an FIP cat is present only in the lesions within the body of the infected cat and not in systemic circulation. Each FIP virus arises from a spontaneous mutation of a feline enteric coronavirus within an indivudual cat. This is why no two cases of FIP are caused by the same virus. Horizontal transmission (cat-to-cat) is very, very rare and is the exception rather than the rule. Any cats exposed to a cat with FIP have the same low risk of developing FIP as any cat infected with a feline enteric coronavirus. (That's my standard statement concerning the contagiousness of FIP) > It just seems so prevalent here. And I've wondered about this, because > I read it's a rather rare mutation in itself. Either it's unusually > widespread in *this area* more so than average, or the shelter vets are > using it a as a catch-all diagnosis when they really don't know. It sure is. An FIP diagnosis is like baggy clothes- it covers a multitude of mistakes! If the cat dies, the vet can't be held accountable; if the cat survives, the vet looks a hero. I > just don't know what to think. Kitten is FeLV/FIV neg. If herpes was an > issue, there would probably be URI symptoms or gunky eyes, right? Yup. A kitten would show symptoms. Older cats can be asymptomatic carriers. If Yoda or Frank ever had FVR or FCV, I'd be more worried about the kitten becoming infected than the kitten infecting Yoda or Frank. > Re: The other post--are you kidding--Yoda hardly raises head and gives > her a passing glance. He's an old man and has seen too many of them > come and go :o) When I have rehabs in my clinic, Jazz gives me the cold shoulder- like I cheated on her! LOL! Jade wants to make friends with everybody, and Titi walks around with her tail down for the first few days. The others just lie by the door, hoping to get a glimpse. LOL!

I'm so glad you were there, and the moron who dumped her gets a year supply of litter clumps from my 4. She's precious.
