The question of the day

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

I had to take Twirl to the vet today. Oliver lit into her and tore open her ear. She now has 6 brand new stitches in her ear. I asked a Cat Psych what she thought was going on with my group treating Twirl so aggressively? Her answer made a lot of sense. With […]

Kittens have a way

Friday, June 29th, 2007

They can turn a gray sky blue, a frown into a smile. Kittens get into the funniest predicaments and then become highly insulted when you dare to help them out! Tyler got into her track ball. I am not sure how she did it, just that she did. She didn’t seem to want to get […]

2-3-1 Contact

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

It has been months since Guinevere and Cleo were both diagnosed with Renal Medullary Solute Washout thanks to the pet food recall fall-out. For days, I stayed up keeping vigil, supplying supportive fluids and prayers when needed. I almost lost Cleo then he rebounded, then Guinevere took a nose dive for awhile but she recovered. […]

Update on new arrivals

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I stayed up all night keeping a close eye on the kittens. Apparently, because the wormer was Strongid, overdosing isn’t a large problem as it would be with over-the-counter wormers or Drontal. The kittens were fine all night, they played, pooped, and drank a lot of water. So hopefully, they have passed the crisis mode […]

More arrivals

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Two young kittens were brought over tonight. They have been accidentally been overdosed with wormer medicine. I will be keeping vigil all night over them to see how they do. They are drinking more water than I have ever seen kittens drink, but they are peeing and pooping and passing large amounts of roundworms. […]

Heart-Breaker

Monday, June 25th, 2007

My heart broke today. I took in this 8 month old tuxedo kitty long-hair. She has been so traumatized, that any time I come near her, she pees all over herself. She has a raspy meow that sounds worse than fingernails on a blackboard. She has taken refuge in the enclosure, on one of the […]

Challenges of living in a multi-cat home

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Living in a multi-cat home, the alpha cats have the clear advantage over the rest of the clowder. They eat first, push the more submissive away from the food bowl, become a bit of a bully toward the pariah cats (the shyer cats of the bunch that generally get picked on daily). One of our […]

Here is Stormy- excuse the hand in the photo

Another storm coming

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Took the dogs into the woods tonight. Lei met up with a skunk, although, thankfully, she didn’t get fully sprayed. I still have some Skunk-Off here and so she got her face washed when we got home. We also saw our buddy Mr. Owl. I am glad he is still a frequent host to our […]
