This is why, for all the headaches cats give me, I prefer their company: they help where they can, and when something is out of their abilities, they at least rub against my legs to show support. Zero humans have offered to actually come to help me since my sister died. I've had multiple...

My cats need a break from Emma. I live in a small house. My cats are cowering under furniture. I have NOWHERE else for her to go. My cats are indoor only cats. They live here FULL TIME. SEE WHAT I WROTE ABOVE. Their nerves are frayed, and Emma needs to understand that SHE HAS NOWHERE TO TAKE HER...

Emma attacks my cats ALL THE TIME, not just now that she has kittens. They do nothing to provoke her. They can be in a totally separate area of the house and she will DELIBERATELY go up to them from behind, hiss, swipe at them with her claws out, chase them out of her way, and scream bloody...

I let Emma sweat it out "overnight" - not as long as it sounds, it was only about 4 or 5 hours. When I got up this morning, it was mostly because Mr. Ginger was in my bedroom window whining, which woke the kittens up. So I went downstairs & warmed up some KMR a little, warmed some kitty wipes a...

Well, we had a bit of an eventful day, and it may not be over, but I'm putting off going upstairs right now (it's after 11 p.m., I'm hoping it's over soon). I had to do some yardwork today - run the lawnmower & weed whacker - which took a long time because the batteries had to be recharged...

😹😹😹 Every time I fuss over the kittens' eating habits, I hear my mom's plaintive cry from our early adulthood: "I only had 3 children, why can't you all get along?!"

Thank you so much for always allaying so many of my fears! It's been well over 30 years since I've personally cared for newborn kittens - we always had cats when I was a child (and dogs, rabbits, chickens, turtles... a menagerie of small animals on our property, less than a half mile from where...

I did open it for Emma at lunchtime, and eventually for Missy, too. But since I've been out of work now for 2 months, I've used up all of my savings because SSI doesn't cover all my bills, let alone taking care of at least 7 adult cats, 1 or 2 opossums (who eat all the cat good I set out every...

So I weighed the kittens this morning, because they were really fussing when I went in the master bedroom to see if Emma needed an early breakfast - after she ate around 11 p.m., I opened another can of food for Emma for overnight that I got at Petsmart yesterday, but it was a new food I hadn't...

Thank you for that information! Since she normally spends all her time outside, I was letting her go out in my yard for little bits of time just to get out, because she's not used to being in a house at all, let alone all the time, and to give my boys a break from her. I hardly see my cats...

Their weights right now are: Herb 13 oz., Benny 12 oz., Missy 10 oz. So in the past 23 hours, only Herbie gained any weight, the other two haven't lost any, but haven't gained any. Herbie didn't partake of any of the supplement, either, he's 100% mother's milk. He's also huge for his age. He...

Just checked in on them. Missy was sleeping next to Herbie, so they were okay. My entering the room woke them up, though, so then Herbie sat in Missy's face & they started fussing with each other, so I picked him up and moved him off his sister, so then he sat on Little Benny. Herbie is just an...

Well, I don't think she can. I think that's one of the reasons Emma was so perturbed with me for putting them in such a high-sided box. While Emma can get in and out easily, doing it with a kitten in her mouth is not in her wheelhouse. I looked in on them earlier, and Missy as off to one side of...

I often think more clearly in the early morning. This idea dawned on me this morning (pun partially intended). Considering that nursing seems to be taking a lot more out of Emma than she seems to be able to handle - perhaps she may be over-nursing them - I'm wondering if she's decided that she...

Wrong 2nd picture! Sorry, it's been a long day and I just need to get to bed.
