Wacky weekend update...

First from yesterday, Marg asked about Swizzle's kittens - Martini and Mojito were the only two that tested negative for FeLV. Martini was adopted last fall. Mojito was as well but about a month ago our friend Miss Beckie found a post on craigslist trying to rehome a kitten - which is a violation of their contract. So, Mojito was picked up and readopted about 2 weeks later.

And on to our wacky weekend......

Marble is at Petco. There was an open cage at another store, so mom moved a cat there and took Marble over to the adoption event and she stayed. Silver came back home with her since she isn't spayed yet. The non-technical scale they use for treats said she weighs about 1.75 pounds. :)  Hopefully she will make weight in the next week or so. Marble was pretty chatty most of the morning.

The ees aren't doing so great. Mom took them to the adoption center on Saturday and the rescue lady gave them fluids. Miss Beckie is a people nurse but she is home a little more and offered to take them back to make sure they get a little more medical attention. We aren't sure what is up with them, but we know every effort will be made to keep them healthy.

The condo came down - no reason to leave it up since Silver won't stay in there anyhow. MOL

Wendy and the kittens aren't as snotty, but they still have the runs. Mom is gonna email the shelter today and see what is going on.

Mom says there are a few things in the work this week, so we shall see what happens. :)

Another move....

Well, there was another flurry of moving around the house. That mom lady can't seem to make up her mind. As you can see, the "condo" was set back up but in the living room this time (as opposed to the dining room). Mom was going to move stuff around in the 2nd bedroom and put it there until she realized Marble would stake out that space and since we eat in there, we were glad mom changed her mind.

Marg asked what happens to Marble now. The rescue has 2 adoption spots at the local Petco. The next adoption that happens will leave a space that Marble will fill.

Eileen asked if she might be confusing the ees with another group. There was a group of black kittens a couple of weeks ago, but that was the group that Louisa (the mom cat) died and the kittens went back. They were from the shelter. Eastwood and Einstein are from the same rescue that took in Silver and Marble.

baby jail  :)



 So, why were they moved??

One of the crazy foster families from the shelter brought back her momma cat and kittens on Saturday. Said that she couldn't handle them. (what's to handle - they are 4 weeks old???)  Mom figured she would get the email since she didn't think there were other families available that would take a mom and kittens (not sure why - moms make it easier). Yesterday she got the email and picked them up. Wendy is the mom and the shelter named the kittens after fast food restaurants - but mom isn't sure which one is which yet.

the three tabby boys

hey - that is one of Louisa's girls... YEAH!!

another boy

Wendy the mom

Wendy and one of the tabby boys went back to the shelter already this morning. Wendy is VERY snotty and the middle tabby boy in that first picture was acting pretty lethargic as well. The rest are doing eating on their own (which is good since Wendy showed no desire to nurse them last night) and were doing their best impression of mexican jumping beans this morning.

Mancat Monday.....

The new guys are eating well and pretty playful. But they are pretty messy, so they are still restricted to the bathroom. Mom spent time playing with them this weekend. Silver can't get over the gate yet, but she is allowed out for short periods of time. She has a blast playing with Marble....

yes, Marble still lets Silver nurse.....sigh. :)

Eastwood

Einstein

We can hear the kittens playing in the bathroom, but since they stop when mom walks back there, she isn't sure how much they are playing together. Silver tends to want mom or want out. However, as you can see, they are all about the gooshy fuds.

arrival of the ees....

As you may know, mom has been trying to find some friends for Silver. Marble is spending less time with her (and finding Silver a little more annoying as time goes on). Silver certainly acts like she needs someone to play with and mom doesn't want any "single bratty kitten syndrome". MOL

who me? bratty?? nah....

So, Miss Beckie (remember her from Monday?), called and said there were a pair of kittens. A little younger than Silver, but eating on their own. So, mom got them the other night and got everyone set back up in the bathroom (no more condo in the living room....).

Eastwood

Einstein

the new guys

Silver wasn't too sure what to think about them. Eastwood is a bit hissy - he would hide in a corner and spit at Silver, which of course made her run back to mom. Einstein is purry and loves mom already. The 3 kittens are still working it out, but we know it will be fun and games in no time. In fact, mom found them sleeping in a pile last night.

Eastwood and Einstein do seem to be trying to nurse....on each other. MOL Mom is hoping maybe Marble will give them a break but Marble doesn't seem overly inclined to take on more kittens (can't blame her for that). Mom ended up syringe feeding Einstein this morning. He just doesn't get the canned food like his bother and mom wants to keep up his strength.
