:rolleyes: at myself...
I went down to visit my mom today...as you may know there is a feral cat litter habitating in my moms front garden. Bitz, my widdle RB kitten, was from the same mother. The neighbor (whos been keeping an eye on the momma and kittens along with my mom) thinks that the litter Bitz came from was momcats first litter. This litter is a heck of a lot more healthy and was born right as it was starting to get warm, unlike the Bitz's litter which was born right before winter hit last year.
Well...with the help of the sweet neighbor lady and my mom (and the local shelter who finally agreed to let the neighbor lady rent traps) we are going to get ALL of the kittens and momcat vet checkups and a good home! Momcat looks too darn young to be having kittens, so we are focusing on her especially as she may already be pregnant again (her kits are no more than 10 weeks old we figure). We know who the dad cat belongs to, my parents clod across the street neighbors who just let their unfixed male (a beautiful blackie) run around unsupervised outside.
Well...one kitten already has a home...
Mine :D
I have the word "SUCKER" tattooed in big lettering on my head, in ink only CATS can see. We were getting a count of the kits and hubby saw this little black and white guy peeking out from the bushes right next to my moms house. The kitten MEOWED loudly at him and then ran off. We continued our survey and then quick as lightning the little black and white boy darted PAST my hubby and right into the engine block of my dads jeep :eek:. We figured we had better get him out, as he got himself stuck and started to yowl his fool head off. Mom ran and got the keys and we opened the hood and hubby scooped him right out and into a carrier. The little guy meowed at hubby again and looked up with his big green eyes and said "Can I PLEASE have a home with you?"
My husband is as hopless as I am :D
The little guy is now in the bathroom, with the rest of my herd sniffing at the door. Introductions will go slowly, and I am already scheduling a vet check for my new little resident. Admittedly, if this little stinker had been a girl kitty I probibly would foster her until the humane society could place her. Spook is queen female and does NOT tolerate another girl in the house (I've had a few girl fosters, all of which Spook detested which propigated peeing issues :rolleyes: ) but males she welcomes with open paws. Even when Wenisrubber came with her kitties, she tolerated and even played with Soni the male (RIP poor boy) but she wanted nothing to do with Isis the female except to hiss and growl at her. Onyx integrated back into our household with minimal problems as well.
Spook sniffed at the little boy in the carrier, with not even a hiss. She even managed a half hearted headbump as we carted him into the bathroom. I'm not sure what she'll do now, having to keep THREE boys in line but I'm sure she'll enjoy herself in her own demented way lol.
No pictures, as I just got home and the little tyke is all nerves...he just got hauled out of an engine block and driven 30 miles so Im giving him some time. He has the most beautiful green eyes, and outside of being a bit too thin and a bit dirty, he looks healthy. Well, thats one kitten saved, by our count there are four more kittens and a momma to save too! I'm gonna try my damnest to get the rest of the kits good, loving homes, even if I have to pitch for some vet care.
Welcome to Pet Talk my little miricle kitty! After the whole thing with Bitz, I am so glad I can do more for this litter, and prevent new ones. I buy food and litter in bulk, so adding another mouth isn't going to be any more of a strain on my pocketbook. I save for emergencies, and luckily I had the rest of the furpile scheduled for a vet checkup and the vets up here give group discounts :D My landlord might complain a little, but luckily for me she loves cats!
As far as names, the only two that come to mind are Romulus and Fuzzball (thank you hubby :rolleyes: ). We'll just have to see what his purrsonality turns out to be.
Sorry to ramble :D
