We picked up 2 kittens at a farm that was giving them away. I noticed right away that they had fleas. I brought them home and bathed them in dish soap. Then, this morning (day #2), I applied Hartz OneSpot flea treatment. Tonight I noticed there are still fleas. Can I rebathe them? Will it...
Hello,
I'm back again. (My cat, Pennie, had kittens on St. Patrick's Day.) This time, I stopped at a farm down the road, with a sign, "free kittens." They had 2 red males left. They guessed their age at 7-8 weeks. They were kept in a rabbit cage in the dairy barn above the manure...
A friend of mine recently bought a house and with it came 14 barn cats. She has been feeding them since January. Now, in the past week, they are all dropping dead. She said they are literally falling over dead. She even had a litter of approx. 2 week old kittens. Their mama died. So, she...
Pennie's kittens are 11 weeks old, and we've found great homes for 3 of them. We may keep the remaining 2. However, they are VERY rambunctious. I mean, they don't chill out with us at all. My kids can pick them up, and the babies don't scratch or bite. But, they'll only sit still for...
Pennie's starting to get a little too rough with her 9 week old babies, for my taste. One, the little girl who most wants Pennie's comfort, just came up and Pennie fought her down, on her back, then bit her. The kitten, Alice, cried, and tried to fight back, but Pennie won. Is this normal...
They're otherwise healthy, but 2 of Pennie's babies have been puking, mostly white, curdled milk. They still nurse quite a bit, but eat some solid food, too. As far as I can tell, it's the 2 girls, none of the 3 boys who are getting sick. What's up?
Well, I saw a tinge of blood on Pennie's anus tonight. Do cats bleed while in heat? Or is this something to be concerned about? Her poops are orange-ish and soft, not diarrhea. Her kittens are almost 8 weeks old and some of them (maybe just one, I don't know) are pooping white, runny, foam...
This was taken a couple of weeks ago, but I love it!!
Who's in the box???
WE ALL ARE!!
Check out the size difference beween the babies at 1 week
And 7 weeks
Here are some up close pics (I woke them up - their eyes aren't really different sizes, lol) -

As of today, Pennie's kittens can climb out of the box we've had them in. What do I do with them now? Where will they be safe? They've been in our office, with lots of electrical cords. The bathroom is used in the night and I'm afraid they'll fall in the toilet. We have a laundry room that...
I just came across this website and it broke my heart how many cats are put down there. If you know of anyone in Georgia or close who would like a new friend, please give them this link!! http://shelterrescue.org/index.html
Pennie's babies are 1 week old today (happy birthday babies), and she seems intent on moving them. We keep her in one room, but open it in the a.m. for her to come out. Well, this morning she was scouting a place and within minutes came up to our room with a baby in mouth, putting it under our...
How much searching is normal? I have a couple who find the nipple right away, while the rest search for most of the time. How do I know they're eating enough? What can I do to help them latch on? Most of them are 24 hours old. Will they come around in time? Help!!
O.k., Pennie is due any time. For the past 5 days or so, she has had the runs. It wouldn't be so noticeable, but she hasn't been able to clean her butt for well over a week. And, she flips when we do it. I mean, we might as well be pulling her limb from limb by the way she acts. So, is my...
We're guessing Pennie to be about 7-9 weeks pregnant. But I don't know if I've felt movement yet. My questions is this: how much movement is normal? Anyone have a mama cat who had very little movement right up until the end?
Hi!
Nova's false pregnancy got me thinking. Part of me *knows* Pennie is pregnant, but there's a part of me that wonders why I haven't seen any movement yet. My questions is, has anyone else had a 7-9 week pregnant cat and didn't see movement? She's getting bigger every day, has big, pink...
Pennie is days away from delivery (I think, lol!). The past several days her nipples have gotten crusty and are very tender. Does this mean something? And, is there anything I can do to ease her?
Here is a pic taken yesterday.
