Let's see - we got lots of odds and ends.....
1. Mom has seen Allie a few times now. So we told her to get it together and get some food and water out for the girl. Allie was hanging out under a parked car when mom got home one night and was on the sidewalk yesterday morning. We weren't sure she was going to come back around, but it looks like we inherited kittens and our very own feral cat. :) Mom is starting to think about shelter for the winter.
2. Fast food kitten update: the shelter called and the boys had a weird variation of calici (no mouth ulcers, which is a major sign). So, everything got thrown in the washer and was washed in HOT (again - just to be sure - mom cleans after each group leaves)!!! Mom is being pretty vigilant with the outlaws since they had been hanging with the boys. We does have a question for you all though.....does anyone know if the FVRCP is a live virus vaccine? The outlaws haven't been vaccinated yet and mom isn't sure if she should do it now or wait a little bit longer.
3. Silver was.....ADOPTED!!! She went home last night with another gray kitten from another litter who is about 2 weeks younger. They will have an older sister in their new home who is about a year old.
4. Head count: mom thinks she finally has it on the new bunch - 4 boys and 2 girls. We think she keeps changing her mind and doesn't really know what she is talking about.... MOL
5. But, we suppose you really want the v-e-t report from last night. :) Well.....the v-e-t wasn't very sure and was glad mom brought a brother for comparison (mom brought him for company, but whatever works). They ended up taking x-rays. Seems our tiny boy's knee caps are not where they are supposed to be (completely luxated on both sides). Stranger still is that his humerous bone (thigh bone) doesn't complete into the knee joint - it didn't form right. Of course, the v-e-t wondered what caused it - malnutrition, birth defect, whatever. Mom is more concerned about how we FIX it. The tiny boy weighs about 14 ounces (eep - the cute). It would be a surgical fix and mom is concerned cause he is tiny. So, mom is gonna talk to the head rescue lady tonight about the next step. It won't be cheap whatever it is, but for now it certainly doesn't bother him....he gets around great, just looks a little funny doing it.
The kid went with mom so that grandma could run some errands and go to the gym. :)
