Here she is after climbing the pet stairs to get to the coolness of the shelves above. I will never be able to thank Neil of www.spoilmykitty.com enough for sending me this pet stairs unit. It was cute to see my kittens play on them, and nice to watch the older cats fall […]
Yesterday, I decided it is time for Guinevere and Sinatra to meet casually. I have found that when introducing two strange cats together, if you don’t make a big deal about it neither will they. Cats are social creatures unlike some myths flying around that ferals and strays are aloof and prefer to […]
Both Sinatra and Guinevere show aggression towards the other cats. We ended up putting the door back at the bottom of the stairs, until the two cats adjust to their new place. Then we worry about introducing them to the group.
Interesting though, Prowler got into Sinatra’s room yesterday without being noticed. The first thing she […]
The two new cats Sinatra and Guinevere are settling in upstairs. It is an uneasy time for the group, as both older cats are quite aggressive when noses are pushed against the screen. Matuse is of course, my biggest bully and has to climb the two screen doors at least five times a day […]
As I passed the first row of cages in the animal shelter, I felt a light tap on my arm. I paused and looked over at these startling blue eyes framed by a light orange face. I followed the line of the paw that was holding on to my arm (sans claws) and saw […]
The kittens are becoming integrated into the family and are doing quite well. The only cat who seems to believe the kittens might be a unique form of rodent is my huntress Squirrel. I have to keep a sharp eye on her when the kittens are in the enclosure, because if they run under […]
Ok, I know, I flunked fosterkitten hood. I took the kittens in to be evaluated and they just didn’t have the room for them. I looked at their cat room which was overflowing with beautiful cats and kittens both, and then I took a deep breathe and announced we would keep all of […]
Put the kittens out in the enclosure this morning for about 30 minutes. The kittens had a blast running up and down the cat beds and meeting and greeting the other cats.
No major confrontations, no hissing or growling or swiping of paws. My crew is so used to newcomers that they really don’t […]
The kittens are doing quite well. They are stronger and playing and eating and drinking. Not a lot of litterpan accidents are happening. It has helped to bring in a large low-cut rubbermaid container for them to use as a litter pan. I moved the kittens all downstairs because it is much […]
I have 5 new kittens upstairs. I have had them for three days, they are around 5 weeks old. The littlest one (I hate the word runt) was quite sick when she arrived, but I fixed my concoction for her and now (knock on wood) she is thriving.
When she first arrived she wouldn’t even […]
