Protecting them from the resident cats

Bottle Baby is sick

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

These three little ones are not in good shape. Their guts sound like a washing machine. When they eat and at least now they are eating - I hear what sounds like air in their throat I wonder if she accidentally aspirated them? Whatever the case, I will probably never know, […]

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

I have the three kittens back and they aren’t in good shape. They are not eating, they have nasty bad diarrhea and MacBeth is constantly crying. He bit me hard when I was stimulating him. This is the first time I have ever been bit by such a young kitten. I talked to the feline […]

Last night when I got home from work, all the cats, and I do mean ALL of the cats were sitting on my desk, looking intently skyward. I could see the decorative rock wall had suffered in my absence and scratch marks were visible on most of the rocks surfaces. Wondering if my cats had […]
