Poor kitty. Soft Paws would have been a WONDERFUL alternative to declawing, that would have made grandmalandlord and kitty both happy. :(

No kittens yet..... but I did take her in last night for her FeLV test and she was negative. Weight off my shoulders! Now bring on the babies! :-)

It really is, thread after thread of "anything yet?" "no, not yet" "I think she's close!" "nope, nothing so far". :-) My girl is very "saddle baggy" in appearance, I have a feeling she's going to look VERY thin when the babies are born. :-( But we're stuffin' her full of good food to make up...

We just recently took in a pregnant stray. A gentleman was feeding her on his porch for some time, desperate for someone to take her before she gave birth, but refused to surrender her to someone who would spay/abort. I offered to take her and allow her to birth her babies within our...

No name suggestions (I have a hard enough time coming up with names for all the fosters) but I had to say....... AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help, thoughts, suggestions, and support.... Goo is doing just wonderfully, and we are going to start preparing her for adoption soon. (spay, vax, testing, etc) Her eye still has a small spot of cloud to it, but it has not effected her vision...

She is doing really well!!! She is a little terror, plays with everything that moves (and some that don't). She's got way too much energy.... I just adore her. She is 1.5 pounds today. I am really hoping she makes the 2 pound mark by this weekend so she can go in with the rest of my crew for...

They should start to become curious about the food at this age. I usually begin providing wet food (mixed with some kitten glop if they're orphaned) around 4-5 weeks. Sometimes, with a bowl of food wet mushy food, I will touch the kitten's face to the food. Just enough so their nose/lips graze...

For my non-poopers, I add a small amount of (light) karo to one or two feedings to help get things moving. Karo is safe, and is included in many home-made kitten glop recipes. Also, if the siblings are nursing on the runt's backend, they should probably be separated. Not only is it gross for...

Thank you Everyone is already giving me a hard time about whether or not I'll keep her. Gotta admit, pretty attached to the little gal. But we have 5 of our own, and I said no more when we decided to adopt #5. (actually, I said no more after #2, #3, and #4 also lol) Here she is today, day 6...

Thanks! I feel pretty good about her chances now.... can't say I felt that way 3 days ago. I have some pics of her as she progressed over the last 5 days.... I can't believe it's the same kitty. This one is day one. I'm linking it without the code so anyone that doesn't want to see it doesn't...

Maybe I'll try the hot vaporizer instead then. Its a small room and I didn't want her to start growing mold. Thanks! I was worried about what I'd just gotten myself into when I saw her (I already have 2 litters of kittens here waiting to go into PetSmart, along with 6 adults).... but I'm glad...

Thank you! I will pick up some L-lysine tomorrow and start adding it to the feeding schedule. I have a cool mist humidifier running on the room, (it's a small room) and the weather is pretty humid also. She (I've been calling her "he", but finally got to inspect the back end today....it's a...

I am currently fostering a kitten that was brought to me in bad condition. He is severely underweight, (was) riddled with fleas, and has a URI that rivals all other URIs that I've seen. We are on day 2. He has seen the vet, is on Clavamox and Terramycin, and is being bottlefed since he is...

OUCH!!!!!! Couldn't help it, sorry. But yes, I would allow piercings before 18. They are not permanent. Tattoos, I'm not so sure about, as they are permanent. I got my first tattoo right after I moved out of my parents house, and though I don't "regret" it, I may have made a different choice...

One of the best kneading sessions I've ever had was from a smushy faced persian at the low-cost-spay/neuter clinic I took my first cat to for a spay. He was declawed....and though I'm very against declawing, I definitely enjoyed his bread-makin' more than I do from my guys. Until I had to...

Favorite: Recess and Lunch. (and Art lol) Least: Math.

The thing I miss most from my childhood..... The SIT & SPIN. I'd give anything for an adult size sit and spin! We had one for my son when he was younger, and I was able to do it, but it was just a little too small for me to get a good, head whipping spin going. God I miss that toy.....

I have tried milkbones as a child, but not other animal kibble. What I want to know is, why don't they make all pet food taste like cat food? My dogs prefer cat food. My duck prefers cat food. Even my iguana LOVED cat food. So why don't they just make all pet food taste like cat food!?

He's beautiful! (in a man-cat kind of way of course!) Love them ears.
