Well,my mom has some very elderly neighbor's.Someone set off a calico cat on them a while back and of course she had kittens.Well,they called my mom wanting her to take them to a shelter somewhere(we don't really have a "shelter" per say...it's a little complicated.lol)and my mom said she just couldn't handle doing that and asked if they would at least keep the mom cat if they could get her spayed cheap.They said no...soooo I asked if they kittens were tame.They said yes.Ummmmmm.NO they are not.LOL.My intentions were to at least go take pictures of the mom and kittens and see if they were male or female(supposed to be 3 kittens,but I only saw 2).
Well,the kittens would not come near me and ran everytime I got near them.Ok so I got some food and put it behind a board in the barn(I saw them go behind there).Then I snuck up and grabbed one..then I had a very unhappy kitten on my hands.He was kicking and trying his best to bite me.
I figured since I went all the way down there....and since they were NOT tame..that I better not let him back loose..it would be best to just go ahead and keep him.
I checked and it was a male.I put him in a cage and tried to catch the other one with no luck,so I told them I would try to come back in a few days to try to get the other kittens or kitten however many is left.
I got pics of the mom so I can see if I can find someone to take her.I am just so over run that I really didn't want to bring in an adult cat if I can help it right now,but I guess I will if I really have to,but it will only be foster situation.I am NOT keeping anymore.LOL.
So,anyway this little guy will probably get neutered Tuesday and then hopefully find a home.
I had to bath him and he was not happy at all with that.I had to keep him scruffed the whole time,but he seems to have calmed down a bit now.
Here is pics of him and his mom.
Here is the little guy all cleaned up.I am thinking he is somewhere between 10-12 weeks.Does that look about right??
My other half is going to kill me when he gets home and sees this kitten.
