Oh... hello! I'm new to the forum and may seem like real noobie to it, so i am sorry if i do anything wrong!
Okay... now down to buisness! Here is my backround with my Cats:
* I work at an animal hospital (about 2 1/2 years now -non stop-) and during kitten season, people bring in kittens to be treated and soon later adopted out. I care for them in the Kennel area, and grow very attatched to our long time boarding kittens, especially my little girl "Munchkin", a fiesty Calico Tabby (DSH). She was found under a porch with a severe Upper Respitory Infection (kitty cat cold), loads of fleas, and other various problems. I Fixed he up starting from the beginning of the summer (June) to the very middle of September, and i just could not part with her... so I adopted her.
* A month and a half later, my boyfriend complained that "Munchkin" needed a friend, and a littler of Tux kittens was in for about a week. I Got really attached to one that was smaller, with a Hair-line bottom lip, that i adopted and named "Tai".
* my problem is that, "Munckin" was a b-day present for my boyfriend. I own Her legally (I carry the papers, follow up on time with all vaccines, buy all of their food, litter, accessories, tags and collars, litter box, and pay their vet bills), and the same goes for "Tai". My parents dont like cats at all (they don't understand), so the cats live at my boyfriends house with his 2 sisters his mother and father. His parents are extreamly possessive of them, and are constantly over ruling our (my boyfriend and i) rules of the cats. Not only did they get kittens of their own that they seem to not care about at all, they feed my cats the wrong food (they eat premium edge healthy eight cat food, but they are feeding my cats friskys), which gets them very sick, but even if the cats just went into surgery, they will bother them and play with them like it is fine.
Question 1: Does anyone have any advice for me as i have dug mysef into a huge hole. I did not know how long this problem would go on for, but i need help on the situation to see what my options are.
Question 2: Is it wrong to keep my cat ("Munchkin") in a large dog crate for a week or 2 to keep her from hurting herself after a major surgery she had done 3 days ago, to keep an eye on her and monitor her without completely restricting her?(it will only be like this until her ubsorbabe sutures begin to heal and she is holding down food again). Please give e your input on the matter!
*Thank you for listening to my story and questions... please post back!
