Hi Me and Mike have 9 cats.
Our last kitten is Marshall from queenscoopalot.
She resued him on his secnd day of life and gave
him to us at about 3 and a half weeks.I'll send you
a new picture of Marshall when I have more time to do so.
He'll be 6 weeks on Tuesday.He's adorable and lovable and VERY lucky that he was saved from starvation thirst or a racoon dinner.

Welcome to Pet Talk! We do so love it when a new owner joins the board so we can follow the former foster-kitty's new life! This should probably be in Cat General, as you seem to be kitty person for sure! Next time, anyway, I don't want to confuse you by moving your first good post!

[QueenScoopalot]

You made it here and introduced yourself. You know we are all going to be bugging you for those Marshall pictures, even though I saw him last week. Can't get enough of baby Marshall the swamp rat! http://img42.photobucket.com/albums/v128/QueenScoopalot/Marshallatthreeweeks.jpg Hi new mommy Carla & Happy Father's day to Mike from Marshall. Give him a kiss for me. :)

I think more people would recognise Marshall & Carla under Cat General for sure. Karen (the Mayor of Pettalk) can move the whole thread like magic. Just ask.

I moved it! Let the ooing and awwwing begin!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, what a cute baby! He looks a lot like my Leonardo who was only about 10 days old when I found him. He was a bottle baby but now is almost 14! He has 2 adopted brothers: Luke and Chester and an adopted sister: Grandma.

Welcome to Pet Talk! It will be lots of fun getting to know you and watching that sweetie grow up!:D

[lizzielou742]

Awww Marshall is so cute!!!

[PayItForward]

Welcome, It is always nice to see a new kitty mummy join up :D

I am owned my the 8 cats in my signature :D

[AmberLee]

Welcome to Pet Talk!

Looking forward to meeting you and hearing more about Marshall.

My fur-kids are Cassy (Perspicacity Purrrsonality) and Livvy (Lady Olivia d'Flufferuni) and they keep me hopping! Livvy turned 5 in April and Cassy will turn 5 in July. She may be a Maine Coon mix and he is the dilute silver domestic short hair original tabby in my avatar.

[RedHedd]

Aww. Welcome to PT!

[kimlovescats]

WELCOME! It is so good to have you, and to get to keep up with little Marshall! I look forward to getting to know your other kitties and you as well!

;)

[Miss Meow]

Hi, welcome!

I'm Nicole and have four cats (who I really need to put back in my signature pic) and two small, smelly but totally lovable hounds.

Hope you enjoy it here :)

[leslie flenner]

my goodness! I hope we'll get to see little marshall grow up! he and kim's Tabitha were rescued at about the same time (Tabitha siblings all passed but she persevered!- with much attention from kim!) So they are possible kindred spirits! Please post pics and updates on his progress.. is he still on the bottle? Has he met other cats yet? (at jan's he met no cats as he was isolated for health reasons..!) Keep us super posted!

[leslie flenner]

just to clarify reason for isolating newborn from other cats. It has nothing to do with the health of other cats in the home. Newborns are just isolated as a matter of course because they can pick up anything that vaccinated cats will not. Don't want to worry Carla unnecessarily!

[carla and mike]

He's still in a room to his own but has met all the other cats
up close when we bring him out.He's pooping and peeing anywhere he wants which is tough on my back but we'll
get it right.He goes in and out of the litter box but likes the bathroom floor better.geez.
But he likes kitten food and baby chicken and gravy food and of course the formula bottle a couple times a day.But I'm weeding off that and the baby food to just kitten wet science diet very soon.
He really poops and pees a lot so he's not hungry.lol.
I put the poop in the litter box to show him and stimulate him to pee in the box but he still goes everywhere else.I don't want my other cats in there to smell anything he's done on the floor that might be left over either.So my cats are not going to train him.He'll have to learn on his own.And I hope it's soon.I don't know how to send a new picture from my pictures in my computer yet.
He sees the vet on June 30th.

[carla and mike]

Bowie.about 1 and a half year old.Black,lovable.

And then there's the tiny peanut Marshall.grey and beige tabby.
about your hand size.

[QueenScoopalot]

Carla, Maybe for a few weeks (as hard as it may be to try) keep Marshall in a cage with his litterpan? At least until he realises that the potty (not the floor) is where he should be going. The time to be learning proper potty habits is right now. He'd be caged until he learned if he was here. ;) You can't have him going all over the new home in Maine that's for sure! Not to mention your back! Jan

[carla and mike]

Jan
Thanks for the advise and I'll do that.Where is a good place to get a cage that's comfortable for him and big enough for a small litterbox?I'll get whatever you tell me.Thanks.Carla
I also ordered online 2 pet bottle feeders in case I find more up Maine.LOL

[QueenScoopalot]

I can get ahold of one for you to use for a while I'm sure. Maybe keep it up on the counter or someplace high so it doesn't hurt your back. It's usually in a kitten's nature to use the litterpan without hesitation, but being that Marshall was an "only child" with no mama to show him the ropes, he's not too bright I guess. He can learn though! I'll see what I can do about finding a cage for you to use for a while until he does his thing in the litterpan only. ;)

I put him in one of those huge carriers I had downstairs with a litter box and towels.You can come check it out.I think this will do.
And now he's not alone a lot.He's in the big bedroom most of the time and can travel to any room and all the cats have been walking around and getting used to him.Thanks for the great idea.
Carla I think if you put some newspapers down it will be easier to pull out any wet ones. And maybe just let him sleep on the towel. Make sure his food is near the door. Instinct with kitties is not to go potty where the food is, but Marshall's got to learn. I also wouldn't let him out too often until he masters that litterbox thing. ;) Maybe carry him around, and let him play in the tub, but keep him in the carrier for a week at least.

[ChrisH]

Carla, do you mean my Bob the dog and Ebby the cat? :) If so, a big Thank You! :D

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your kitties, I am sure they are all gorgeous too! :D

Chris

[carla and mike]

Yes I did mean those 2 but I wanted to tell everyone else I keep looking at everyones pictures that replied to me and I love all of them.It's hard for me to keep up on this because I'm new but I'll get to everyone eventually.I'm still trying to make sure i'm replying correctly.
I love the pictures of many cats in one house too.Looks like my house with 9 cats and just me and Mike.it's nice and quiet here.lol.
We just built a new home in Maine so I'm running back and forth from Ma. to Maine also.We'll be moving there after Mike retires next year and we sell this house.
