    Swimmer Kittens - Flat Chested Kitten Syndrome

    Just as I thought that everything that could go wrong with Cleo's litter already had, we got a new problem. Two of the kittens had started using their back legs, standing up and even walking, but Shaun's back legs remained flat and splayed out like a seal's flukes. I started trying to massage...

    Cleo and Becky

    Now that I bought my own house, one of the first things I did was volunteer to foster for a local cat rescue. I have two sisters right now - one definitely very pregnant and one who may be (I'm beginning to doubt it though, thankfully). First is Cleo, the pregnant one. I started seeing kicks...

    New Rescue Kitten: Deformity?

    I took in this kitten today, but his nose is very different from any cat I've ever seen. He is in a quarantine cage until I can get him to the vet and combo tested. Here is his profile: And here is a front view, I apologize it's not in focus but it was the best I could get of his nose before...

    2009 Kitten Count

    I don't post much but I always check this forum to see kitten pictures. Well, I really missed the kitten count last year since it stopped about half way through, so I thought I'd start and run one for this year to keep track of all the TCS kittens born in 2009! Here we go! Unnamed Cat...

    Extra teeth?

    I took Patience and Flower in for their annuals today. The vet found and showed me that Flower has an extra tooth - it's an incisor, right behind the upper canine on her left side. The vet didn't say anything about it needing to be removed or causing any problems - there's plenty of room...

    Flower's First Birthday Party! (Pic heavy)

    My little baby turned one yesterday! I took in Patience the end of July last year, very pregnant, and it was yesterday, Aug 2nd, that she gave birth to six beautiful kittens. I adopted all of them out but Flower because she was so attached to her mom. I threw a little party for her last night to...

    Rodeo playing fetch video!

    This is a nightly game with Rodeo and I, it started a couple weeks ago and I figured I'd try to get it on camera. He's 3 months old now and just as spunky as ever! If I go to bed early and we don't play, I wake up to several mice in the bed with me. =)

    Fetch!

    Flower is my only cat that carries her toys around in her mouth and deposits them in other places. This means I find a lot of toy mice in the pillows and blankets on my futon. Somehow, I always manage to sit on them nose-end up. =p Last night, I played with them with the wand that has the...

    Male... patched tabby?

    I did not find this kitten, someone I know over the internet did. Well, it was abandoned at the vet office where she works, and she's caring for it through the weekend. I'm pretty sure it's a male, but I think it's a patched tabby too? I asked for more photos of the back to see if there's...

    Introducing: Rodeo!

    Just over three weeks ago, I found a kitten crying in the woods near my apartment. Once I determined he wasn't a feral, I took him in immediately. I went back a couple times and didn't see any other kittens nor any sign of mum, and none of my neighbors admitted to losing any kittens, so it looks...

    Do cats go gray?

    I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. There's no "anatomy" forum so I thought health was the closest thing? Anyway, I was wondering if older cats can get a few gray hairs? My Patience was a stray, the first vet visit estimated her to be about two years old. Within the last couple...

    Please help ID this kitten

    While out for a walk yesterday, I found a kitten alone in the woods. I'm not sure how old he is, nor if he's really a he. He's red/cream with white but is long-hair so I'm having trouble seeing his bits clearly. He weighs 1lb 7.4oz and is still a little bit wobbly, does not quite have...

    Kitten Update and A Huge Thanks

    Firstly, I want to extend my sincere thanks to this forum, not just for answering my questions and helping me bring up this litter, but for being here to answer everyone's questions. There were many things I didn't even need to ask about because it was already out here. You deserve a round of...

    Patience's Kittens - 8Wks Update!

    Hello all! Patience's kittens turned 8 weeks old yesterday, so we all went to the vet and had our first shots and health check. Flower has some waxy ears, she was tested for mites and it was negative so she's just one of those kitties with yucky ears. Other than that, they all checked out...

    Five Weeks Update

    I haven't been around as much as the kittens have been keeping me very busy. =) They're five weeks old today and very active! They're all a few ounces above 1lb now. Maggie: But they still seem so little compared to ordinary things. Cindy: Some of them have started using the litter box...

    3 Weeks Old Update - Lots of Pictures!

    First up is Maggie! She was named because she is quite the explorer, first born and first to walk to all corners of her cage! Had she been a boy, she'd be Magellan, but little miss Maggie (Walker) suits her just as well. =)

    Eyes Opening Early?

    Patience's litter is four days old as of today. I just handled them all moments ago to get their weights, checks and for kittish luvvin. The largest of the litter, the cap and saddle bi-color boy, definitely had one of his eyes open. It was his left eye, and it wasn't completely open but he...

    Patience's Litter Pool!

    We do this sort of thing over in the chinchilla breeders forum, I thought it might be fun to start a pool for my mom-to-be, Patience. The game is to guess how many kittens there will be, what colors and what sex they'll be, and when they'll be born! No prizes for the closest guesser, of...
