We have babies!!! New baby pics #466

Baby for sure has both eyes wide open now. She peeked at me when I went to peek at her last night to see how she was. ;) She even stood up and took a few steps. Not walking real good yet but she is working on it. :D
I was finally able to get the blanket out of that dog house and give it a good shake. Now she has a clean place to nap.

Momma kat seems to be making an impression with the neighborhood too. The lady who lives on the other side of the house where momma kat and baby are in the dog house, came out to chat while I was checking on them last night. She said she was surprised that momma kat lets her pet her now. :) She has been feeding her a bit too.

I was even able to pet momma kat without my gloves today. :D

Momma kat will make someone a really great cat someday. :love:

Even little steps are the best

:love: As they say Baby steps grow into Bigg steps.. Patience for sure.. Well so glad all is going good & the baby & momma is healthy..

And we know that Our Animal Angel Army is keeping an eye on that Momma and Baby, and bringing them goodies from all over the World.
:love::love::love:
Bless you for doing your best for these poor lost souls!!
:love::love::love:

Things moved fast yesterday. The people who own the house where momma kat's dog house is, brought an old stinky trailer in to haul junk off. It is filled with rotting garbage. For some reason, momma kat tried to move baby into it.

Luckily, I intercepted her. She did not like that at all but I fixed a big box for baby and took her and momma kat to my shed. The shed is metal and leaks somewhat when it rains but at least it doesn't smell or have roaches. Tons better than the dog house for sure. Plus, I got to cuddle baby for a while. :D

I locked them in last night. Momma kat had food, water, a blankie all her own and a litter box. I was afraid that the sound of rain on the tin roof would freak her out. Luckily we didn't have any rain. She seems to love the new digs. During the day I will keep the door open just enough so she can come and go or peek out.

She allowed me to take these pics this morning:

They do look a lot alike, don't they? :D Maybe that's why I'm getting so fond of momma kat! :love:

What an adorable little kitten!! :) Resembles Peggy! :) And the mommy looks so proud! I'm glad she has that one left.

Best wishes for both of them!

Those were my exact thoughts! Uh, Moff - is it possible you could take in "two" cats? Both are wonderful!

Oh, how sweet, both of them! Mommie holding on to her little girl there.. and that baby's adorable little toesies!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Love the pic's. Mom looks total devoted, I'm so glad that you are making friends with her and the little one. I think that the little one is going to be a hart breaker, so cute.

If I wasn't afraid that Momma kat would make life totally miserable for Chester and Grandma, I'd love too. She attacked a dog that dared peek it's nose in the shed this morning. I'm afraid she would terrorise Grandma and Chester. They need to feel safe here in their own home. They have to come first. :love:

can u at least "test drive her" with your crew... maybe other cats are ok.. and besides she was protecting her baby...;)

I agree - she's protecting her baby. Once that little one gets older, I'll bet Momma Cat will be more inclined to socialize.

Did you all hear me squeal when I saw those precious photos?!:!:! :eek: :love:

Momma Kat is already becoming quite the social butterfly. The neighbor lady, on the other side of the empty house where momma kat used to live, was worried because see peeked in the dog house and there was no baby.

Her son told her I had put them in my shed. She came to check. Momma kat saw her coming and was just so excited to see her. She likes her too. That lady already has a dog and 4 cats.

Anyway, momma let me take our neighbor into the shed and show off her baby. :D

There are other things to consider about me taking momma kat in. First she would always feel like she should protect her baby from Chester and Grandma. I don't want my babies to have to deal with that at their ages. Grandma is 14 now.

Plus, with no car, it is so hard for me to get their supplies home on the bus. And with my health as bad as it is and getting worse, it's harder for me to take care of them. We will just see how it goes with the baby and take it from there.

I know it would kill me to take them in only to have to give them away later. :(

So, Jen that was YOU? I heard squealing? ;) :D

SOOO CUTE!!! I wish I could take them! It's like a mini-Tilly!

I think everyone understands where you are coming from, and yes your cats do have to come first,it would be no good adopting her to the detriment of your own cats and yourself, you are doing a wonderful job of helping her and making sure she is protected and well taken care of, I am sure when the time comes you will see that momma kat finds a home, she is a darling and you can see she needs lots of love and care, as she looks thin and her coat lacking in the shine and gleam you see with a well taken care of pet.

I was thinking when i was taking care of Ellie and her babies before she became mine and the babies went to the cat shelter, i would buy some special pet milk made by vitapet which is loaded in vitamins which are particularly good for nursing mothers, and she used to love it, i know have it for my CRF cat Ash and it seems to be doing wonders, just a thought.

I am keeping all fingers and paws crossed here that baby and momma will continue to be safe and find loving wonderful forever homes.

Thank you for being such a caring, kind person, she needs you so much and is one of the lucky ones this time around.

Hi Ms. Momoffuzzyfaces,
How are you today? I've been watching this with Meowmie and the new mommycat and her little baby are doing very well it seems. You are doiing so much to help my fellow kitties in need and believe me, it means more to them than you'll ever know. Mommycat doesn't want to hurt you, she's just taking care of her little baby and keeping her (or him) safe. The baby is too small to defend itself just yet.

I'm sending you lots of purrs, headbumpies, and kitty kisses to thank you for doing so much to help my fellow kitties in need. Because of you they're safe, fed, and are experiencing the love that we PT kitties are so fortunate to have every day. Please tell Mommycat I said meow?

Love,
Your friend,
Groucho

PS: Hi there Grandma and Chester! How are both of you today? You sure have a very wonderful Meowmie, be sure to let her know how very much you love her :love: :love:

Gosh I don't know how I missed this thread.:o I kept checking for the old
thread. Wow, a lot has happened already.:) Sorry about the babies who didn't make it.:( That so often happens when babies are out in the elements.

The momma cat is very pretty and the baby is too.:) Prayers that every
thing goes along without a hitch & they both stay well.:)

Oh, my! Momma kat is so pretty! Except for the golden eyes and the white feeties she could be a twin to Cassie. And the picture where she has her paw on kitten ... priceless.

Big prayers that Momma kat and kitten will have a loving forever home, whether it is with MoFF or another family. While looking at these photos I was also thinking of Vermontcat's meezers Milly and Izzy, who are parent and child cats. Bless you, MoFF!

:love: Aweee momma kat is so pretty.. The baby is just too darn Cute.. The baby is going to be a knock out when she is bigger.. Now are you keeping the baby for sure?? Please Please.. Hey you never know momma kat & your other two may get along purrfect.. Never know until you try.. I sure hope momma cat can stay too.. Be sure to get momma kat Spayed just as soon as you can.. You know she could already be pregnant again.. They breed real fast after giving birth..

Baby and Momma Kat doing well still today. Baby sure must have some angels watching over her though. Last night the owner of the trailer that her mom tried to move her into, came to get it. He just started throwing boards in it.

Baby would have been killed if momma kat had put her in there. :( I think there is a herd of Pet Talk guardian Rainbow Bridge kittie angels protecting her.

I am worried that she has fleas though. I don't think she can be treated for them until she is weened. I've heard of kittens being killed by fleas. :(

Thanks for all the prayers and positive thoughts. :love:

Oh, the vet says momma kat can't be spayed until after the baby is weened which will be another 4 to 6 weeks.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Advantage is safe for nursing mommas.. that is the one that only kills adult fleas.

But what can be used on the baby?

One thing about PT - it plays with my emotions. My emotions can skyrocket one minute and plunge the next.

I came from reading about the kitty thieves and then I read Groucho's post in this thread and now I have leaky eyes. Groucho, you are right because Momo is one of the most caring Meowmie's that I have the pleasure of knowing.:love:

Momo, I can only imagine how exciting this is for you to see their progress. Those recent pictures are adorable and yes Momma Kat does look like Mz Edwina!!!! :eek:

Wow! Mama cat is gorgeous.:D Hopefully she'll be able to find a wonderful loving forever home. The baby is so adorable too.:) I'm so glad that you were able to move them into your shed.

I know that advantage can be used on kittens but I'm not sure how old they have to be. You can wash the kitten with dawn soap though and this will usually help to kill the fleas. Then you could treat the mother with advantage so her fleas will also be killed. Good luck.:)

I'm just now reading this and what a story! Mom and baby are beautiful. I wouldn't use any off the shelf flea product without consulting a vet first. It may cause more harm than the fleas. Have you anyway of purchasing diatomaceous earth? http://www.dirtworks.net/Diatomaceous-Earth.html

It has to be the pet friendly kind NOT the kind they use in swimming pool pumps etc. It's works wonderful for ants, fleas etc. It's natural and pet friendly.

Good luck with the baby and mom!!!

I think this little kitten has a lot of guardian angels (well- here at PT they fly in big crews;)) and now the first thing is he/she has to grow up healthy.
And then you can still see how Momma Kat is with your crew.
I can understand that the vet says that Mommma cannot be spayed before the baby is weaned- but she sure can get pregnant again! Been there (over 30 years ago).

Thank you all so much. The babies and I all appreciate you more than you will ever know.

I think they need names now. I was thinking of calling Baby, Angel, because she sure looks like one and must have tons of angels watching over her (plus all you Pet Talk ones). If she should fool me and turn out to be a boy, I was thinking of calling her, er, him Sly Angel or Sly for short for fooling me. :D

Momma kat needs a name all her own too. I have no clue as what to name her. Any suggestions? :D

One funny thing: Momma Kat saw the dog she chased away from the shed the other day, walking down the neighbors drive way this morning. The dog just looked over at her and started running away.

She chased that poor fellow across the alley. Poor dog was still running when I last saw him. He's a stray that's been coming through here lately. And no, as much as I love dogs and would like to help, I can not take him in!!! ;):love:

The first name that came to my mind for the baby is "Angie"

What a cute momma cat and baby!

Yes why not call Momma Angie and baby Angel, keeping all fingers and paws crossed momma and baby will continue to do well and keep safe, yes you can use advantage on kittens, but check with a vet because i too am not sure how old they have to be, probably at least six weeks old i would think, if i remember right we did ellie's babies at about that age . good luck and all the best to you and your new little cat family.

I think the baby will be Angel. I'm thinking of Winnie (win-ee) for the mom. Since she looks so much like Miss Edwina plus she is certainly a winner in spite of what her former owners did to her. :love:

Angel is learning to bathe herself. It's so funny to watch. She can't even walk well yet ! :D Here are some pics:

Washing faces is hard!!

OMG, I can't believe this kitten already tries to wash her face! How very cute is that?! :love:

Kirsten

Oh what a very very good little kitty you are, Angel:love: Making sure all is nice and clean.
I love your name choices for these two:)

I can't get this smile off my face.:D That fuzzy little baby is sooooo cute.:D

THE most adorable photos ever!!!!!!!! Gosh, how I miss kittens.

Is Angel's belly OK? The first photo it looks red and swollen (not the entire belly, but a small round area), and also in the fourth shot you can see it. Could be just positioning, but better safe than infected.

I thought that spot was most likely where the cord came off.

Yes, that's what it is. I keep a close eye on it and it's healed up but has a scar like area there. :love:
