Variety.....

It may be the spice of life, but right now, it just makes mom's eyes roll in her head.  MOL

Us: we is all doing good. Maestro has his bad moments when his mind wanders off...somewhere. But mostly he is doing good. Junior and Spud insist on occasionally trying to kill each other and Mom is trying to diffuse it all. She was hoping the trees would help, but they still cross paths in a couple of tight corners and then the name calling starts....sometimes she can diffuse it and sometimes she doesn't see them.

Wendy and the fast food kittens:

Wendy is a bit.....angry. Mom tried to put the outlaws in the bathroom to make it easy. Nope - she whapped Doc. And while she had been staying in the bathroom behind the baby gate, the other night she decided to sit OUTSIDE the gate. Which puts her right in front of the door to the room with our stuff. And she growls and hisses and calls us names. Oh, and she was singing the "let me out" song several times last night. Which is weird since she doesn't even LIKE being out.....

The kitts are doing well. They are scheduled to be neutered on the 21st, but mom isn't sure they are all going to make weight. Something about running off as many calories as they take in. MOL

The outlaws:

Doc Holiday & Mustang Sally are doing well. Still kinda tiny, but outgoing. And Sally is ALWAYS hungry!! If mom gets up for something, Sally is sure it is to feed her NOW!!!! She follows mom around screaming. Mom feeds them canned 3-4 times per day - but she has to supervise since we kinda...well...may not leave them alone. :)

Allie and her kittens:

With a negative test, it is now just about giving the kittens time to grow. They are in what mom calls the "ewok" stage. MOL Allie is eating and caring for the kids - though not a fan of mom. Or us for that matter - Tommy snuck down there and the cursing was pretty bad (from Allie and from mom). Mom wishes she had some tech skills cause it would be nice to put a web cam on the cage to see what they are doing down there (and when the kittens start eating on their own). But, Allie seems ok for now...
[ps from this morning - mom went down to clean up and feed everyone. most of the kittens came forward to greet her. AND...she saw the little gray (male) baby eating the dry food - hehehe]

And a picture of the kid. Mom spent Wednesday at the zoo with her....

The polar bears were AWESOME!!!

Tabby Tuesday....

Tim is chillin' in the cube. This is his new favorite place and position. :)

Wendy and the fast food kitts are at the shelter today for their next vaccinations. Hard to believe that they are 6 weeks old. Mom has put up the baby gate and the kittens have figured it out. They were out for a little bit over the weekend, but when mom went to look for them that night, no kittens to be found....she finally went back to the bathroom and there they were. Apparently they could break out of jail and broke back in to be with mom.

The nice thing with the gate is that, while the kittens can get out (and obviously back in), in still creates a safe place for Wendy. Mom won't put up the gate and leave the door open when she isn't home, but while we know Wendy can get out when the door is open, she feels safer behind the gate. And everyone is OK with that.

The kittens are pretty funny.  The bounce around the end of the hall and will venture down it a little bit. Arby (the black/white) is braver than the rest...he has been out and into the living room. The whole routine makes Doc nuts cause he can't get out of baby jail. MOL

The Bridge welcomed another Angel yesterday. We wish Parker as safe journey and peace and purrs to her family.....

Mom and kittens were at the shelter on Monday for vaccinations, dewormer and more marquis paste (for the coccidia). Mom left them with the cat caregiver and snickered....have fun with that momma cat - she don't like to be medicated. MOL

Everyone is doing pretty well. There was a note about the tiny boy - BK. He is about half the size of his siblings. But active and eating - more or less. They want him supplemented with a combination of a/d (high protein/high calorie) and KMR. Mom had been syringe feeding him some KMR anyhow. About the only way to do this is feed everyone and then give him his own plate in the bathtub. Monday night and Tuesday morning he ate the a/d. Tuesday night - not so much. But he was all about what everyone else was eating when he was "released". Wednesday morning - slurped up the KMR and ignored the rest. Boys..... As of last night and this morning, he has eaten about half his body weight....in fancy feast. Mom says she gives up - so long as he is eating, we say let him have what he wants. He weighed about .75 pounds last night while one of his brothers weighed 1.25 pounds.

BK & Arby

Wendy is still pretty skinny. The shelter suggested giving her a break - only she hisses at everyone she sees. However, she is good about getting away from the kittens. She will lay down on her belleh or get up on the counter. Mom laughs when she walks in to find Wendy on the counter and 4 little boys lined up on the floor staring up at her......

The bathroom is once again a wreck - mom's project for the weekend.

wacky week.....

Didn't mean to panic anybody yesterday..... we are all fine. And so are the kittens.... mostly. :) Mom ended up taking an emergency "vacation" day yesterday to get it all together.

Before we get to that, could you please go visit Finn & Tucker? They are holding a comment-a-thon to support Best Friend's Back in Black 2 event!!!

Silver was not acting right was had gotten snotty. Mom got the rescue vet to check her and she is sick. So, now she is crated and taking meds. And she is NOT happy about it. However, so long as she continues to eat, she should be fine in about a week....

Wendy and the kittens are doing ok. And we now have a list of who is who. Mom had the shelter vet check out Arby (male black/white) and BK (tiny male tabby). Arby is now on meds as his eye swelled up. BK is about half the size of his siblings. The goal is to give Wendy some time to herself to gain some weight and monitor BK to make sure he is gaining weight....Mom tried that last night.... yeah, she doesn't so much like other cats. Not sure how this is going to work. Mom said something about leaving the shower door open to give her a place to escape.

We don't want to this to get too long.....so we will leave you with this picture as a teaser for mom's other adventure:

Does this kitty look familiar????
