Periwinkle is amongst the family

[rosethecopycat]

My foster girl, Periwinkle, is out and about.

Five days after her spay, she is exploring bravely the whole house.

Now, I'm seeing a pattern with my boys.

Snowy is truely a friendly boy. He make all sorts of 'sweety' sounds at her. She swats at him, but he thinks they are playing. Now, Zazu, was too rough for him, and he cried. Peri is more gentle and they are getting used to eath other and having fun.

Mr. Jones. What can I say? He let out the same warnings to her as he did to Zazu. He's got no time for these youngsters.

He had a food issue and Snowy got caught in the hubbub. He and Mr. Jones usually switch off food bowls all the time, but when I put down Peri's bowl (not close to Mr. Jones' at all) when Snowy came to switch he got the big growl and the swat. :(

Also, Mr. Jones will not let her come up on the bed. She's still trying. She managed to get up on one corner when Mr. Jones wash grooming. I talked to him and he let her stay. But, tonight, at his "TV" time, things will be a different story. :eek:

So, that's how it goes with constant integrations. I think Snowy it less bored, now with all the excitement.

So, that's a good thing, right?

Do you have any photos of them together?
I looked back at your other thread about Periwinkle and saw that she is going to be adopted after she recovers from her spay surgery.
How much longer do you have her then? Enjoy that little cutie while you can!:)
Do you have any more foster kitties coming soon?

[rosethecopycat]

I am going to try and get some photos together, she on the move all the time!

When her paperwork is done she'll be on her way. Maybe this week end.

I'll be getting another very soon. Maybe a 1 year old flame girl or a tiny 2-3 month old seal kitten.

It's hard to let go, but you gotta make room so the next one can come into your heart.

I would love to see some photos!
I love looking at www.siameserescue.org
I love the feet on Tipper from Maryland!:D

I also think Grace and Shania and Tasha from Florida are beautiful too.:)
I think it is great that you can help with the rescues. I would find it very hard to let the fosters go when they find a new home. Siamese are beautiful cats!

I SAW THOSE FEET TOO!

I love them! They look yummy!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh what a pretty kitty that is! And he/she's in a resuce? What is wrong with people? :eek: :mad:

I wish. :rolleyes: Seems the law is that only 2 cats are allowed in our house. And that is not a city or state law either. :( :rolleyes: ;)

My mom used to have a siamese named "Tipper" ... oh I do love those extraordinary feet.... how adorable those different colored toesies are!!!!

So glad sweet Periwinkle is coming around, I know it will be hard to say goodbye!

Rose,

Isn't it great to FINALLY let your fosters out???

I was suffering from sleep deprivation for 3 night because Fawnie was in the middle bedroom. She had a URI which is now gone thanks to Clavamox. But, in the meantime, she wanted outta there SO bad, she'd yowl and scratch at the door. To keep her from getting lonely, I'd go sleep in that room. Unfortunately, MooShoo, who is my "bed buddy" would have none of it. He would scratch the door relentlessly!!

I wanted to make sure that the fleas, earmites, and URI were gone before I sprung her. I was IMing Naomi (Nomilynn) on Wednesday night and could hear Fawnie from the living room. That's when I decided to let her out. I sat there with the spray bottle in hand waiting for fur to fly.

Believe it or not, things went VERY well!! She crept around the apartment, scoping things out. The only one who was really annoyed was Maya Linn. I was fully prepared to keep jumping out of bed breaking cats up, but it didn't happen.

Aaaaah!! A full nights sleep at last!! Everything has gone well from that point on. I'm very proud of all my babies for accepting her into my house, although temporarily.

I don't know about you, but I find it so much easier to introduce a female into a cat household as opposed to a male.

Like I say....

My boys are falling into a pattern.

Mr. Jones- doesn't want any more cats around

Snowy- I like'em all, let's play!

When I finally get to 'spring' my fosters, I let the boys out on the pool patio, and let the newbie run and check out the house. Periwinkle took two times at doing this as she was mcuh more shy that my little action figure Zazu was.

When they are comfortable with the rooms it makes it mcuh easier to meet a new albeit, resident cat.

We are all getting along well now, even I'm sleeping in my own bed... but, I've got news!

INCOMING! Two cats in desparate need. Will go and pick up on Satuday.

1 year old Flame point girl and a Snowshoe kitten(with URI)

That means Two isolation rooms and Mama wandering between them at night while the husband keeps our boys and Periwinkle placated.

I don't want to overload either. But, they say it's the time of year.

I'll post as soon as I get the new ones.

Rose,

Good luck on your incoming fosters.

I called the Michigan Siamese Rescue to let them know there's a 7 week old chocolate point Siamese kitten in the shelter where I volunteer. She's beautiful and her name is Olivia. I hope they can get her outta there soon.

[kimlovescats]

Be very careful bringing that kitten in with URI!!! They are airborne viruses that can travel through your cooling ducts!:eek:

[moosmom]

I'm not taking the kitten. I just wanted to give the Siamese Rescue a heads up about the kitten being at the shelter. There's no room at the inn right now :p

[smokey the elder]

I love that cat's toes! What unusual markings.

Very distinct possibility. I'm taking every precaution, Kim, this little 8 week old is sneezing but not a mess... yet?

I know what you're going through x1.

I hope its the same rescue we're talking about. (540)672-6373
based in Virginia.

Thanks for helping, Donna.

p.s. Hi to Moo baby.

Olivia has been adopted!! I went to the shelter today and a woman came in and was holding her. Olivia licked her cheek and that was the end of that!! :D

I brought a very sickly 6 week old kitten home to foster. I named him Spike (I'll post pictures tomorrow). He's really not doing that well. He's small for his age (I thought he was about 4 weeks old), VERY thin and has really bad diarrhea.

I've been trying to pump Pepto Bismal and Pedialyte into him to get rid of the runs and keep him from becoming more dehydrated than he already is. My cats can't figure out where the squeaking sound is coming from. I've got him in a carrier with a heating pad on low, covered with a blanket.

My friend Kathy, who runs the nursery at the shelter said that she doesn't think he's gonna make it and to prepare myself. But I refuse to give up. His sister is also in the nursery but is alot bigger and plumper than he is and thriving. We tried putting him in with a nursing mother to see if he'd suckle and he won't. He does go for Iams kitten food mixed with formula. I just got through feeding him a few minutes ago. He took about a 1/4 cc of Pepto and a whole syringe full of Pedialyte. I supposed that's good news.

I'm a little optimistic at this point, although it's early. We have a total of 21 kittens just in the viewing area alone!! There are at least another 17 in the nursery. People keep dropping them off by the box full. :( Welcome to kitten season!! :mad:
