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!!
