Update on Sweetpea and her baby. *UPDATE* Page 5

Here is a picture of Sweetpea with her remaining baby.

So far he seems to be doing okay. Sweetpea is very attentive to him as she was with the others. Of course now I question myself if I should have just had them aborted in the first place instead of going through all this misery. But I can't dwell on that now. I have to focus on the one that is still alive. What happened, has happened. It was a learning experience for me. A hard one, but still a learning one. I will know better if I should ever be in this situation again.

Now, maybe if we name this little fella, yes it's a boy, he will continue to thrive.
Any suggestions anyone?? :)

Thank you all again for your prayers and sympathies. I really appreciated them.

How about Ditto..or Carbon....he looks like a copy of his mom....

That picture is just too sweet. Look at her cuddling her boy.

How about Hercules (or Herc for short) since he's so strong.

Because part of her name is Sweet, and they look alike - Sugar Twin?

Nope....didn't think so! :D

How about "Rocky" since he's such a fighter? He just HAS to keep on fighting, no matter what......... My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.................

Deb

Oh, and I forgot to ask, is Sweetpea making milk yet for the little guy? If not, is he eating well from the syringe/bottle?

Deb

Seeing her with her baby in her arms brings tears to my eyes.. She loves her baby so....

Lorraine, I am so sorry for what you are going through....I know all too well the pain in losing babies...I sure hope this little guy makes it!! I was thinking of something like "Pachino" or "Rocky" is a good one as suggested by Soapets. He sure is a fighter. Can't wait to see pictures as he grows. (((HUGS))) to you, Sweetpea, and the little tyke.

Aww, what a sweet pic. I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much loss in the past few days. I'm with the others on the name - he's a little fighter - Rocky! I hope he continues to do well.

What a precious picture! I like the suggested name "Rocky" cause he has been a fighter! I think you've done well Lorraine! Please don't beat yourself up. Sweetpea and this little guy are much better off because of YOU!

What a sweet picture! I'm so glad he is doing well so far. Prayers and good thoughts that he continues to thrive.

As for a name I do suggest something strong/survivor/fighter for him. Go little guy!!!

Lorraine, I'm so glad to see and hear that this little guy is doing well.:) I was thinking of the name Lucky since he's still here but I also like the idea of a fighters name like Rocky too. I'm sure you'll pick a out a wonderful name for him.:)

That is such a wonderful picture of Sweetpea and her little baby!
Please grow big and strong little boy!

Such a sweet photo! Sweetpea and her baby looks like twins. They both look so lovely...

That photo is so adorable!!!!!!!!!

What a sweet picture.

I have no additional good name to suggest, but I can only approve Kim's Hercules suggestion, as Hercule (without the s, probably the French version of it) was my very first cat, and also a black and white guy :)

Lorraine,

LES here! That picture says it all. And you need not beat yourself up. You fought for all of them. It's natures way, unfortunately, of saying it just wasn't to be. I wish I could think of a name for the little guy. But I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet (it's 7:15 a.m. here) and my body's awake but my brain is a little behind in schedule.

Great job!

That photo is so touching! It is the feline version of the mom and baby statues, photos and so forth. "Rocky" as a name for him has a double meaning, you know. He had a "rocky" start, but he fought like "Rocky Marciano" and pulled through it all!!! Hooray, little one, keep growing stronger!!

Juke Joint Joseph would be honored if you considered Joseph as a name.
Or Moosie after Moose The Magnificent.
Thats a divine Photo of Sweetpea nad her baby.
We are praying taht he gets past these next critical months.

They are both adorable,My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need.

Gentle hugs and kisses to the beautiful survivor. And for Sweetpea. And for you. Don't second guess the decision. We do the best we can. You guys have done a wonderful job. If not for you, Sweetpea would be in an awful place. And NONE of her babies would have made. Perhaps she wouldn't have either. They both have a good chance now.

My idea was "Albert," after the black-and-white tom my grandmother had when I was little. But, seeing as the little guy's a fighter, I would be OK with Rocky or Hercules, or even Achilles.

Liz

If you had had them aborted they would never have known the feel of their mother's care or her love and she would never have felt theirs. Sweetpea at least got to give them kitty kisses.

It may be my imagination but I think the little one looks like he's bigger.
I've asked all my family who are in heaven to pray for Sweetpea and her little one. Believe me, that's quite a crowd of prayers going on there.

Prayers from me too, of course.

I like Rocky for a name for him. Or Champ short for champion.

he is sooo cute he reminds me of some of the kittens i found! He looks like a thomas or rex haha they were 2 of my kitties names.

Oh my.... serious LES here, as I cannot stop looking at the picture of proud SweetPea with her baby. There is so much love in her eyes, and in the sight of her arm around her baby, protecting him. How adorable.

Please, quit beating yourself up over the lost babies. I think someone else had also posted that had it not been for your intervention, NO ONE would have made it in all likelihood. Everyone knows this was what nature and the big Guy upstairs had planned. Nothing you could have done would have changed that.

Bless you for all that you have done for little SweetPea.

What a lovely picture. That could become a poster for Mother's Day. Sweetpea loves her baby so much.

I think Rocky is a good name too.. even if he's a she..? Can you tell the gender of a kitlet this young?

What a wonderful thing you did, Lorraine, saving her from that awful Pierre creature. There wouldn't have been any kittens and perhaps not even Sweetpea if you hadn't rescued her. As was said before, even with the tragic loss of the others, Sweetpea and the kittens all got to know each others' love. Bless you for making that possible.

Pat

Now that is a mother's love. You can SEE it in her eyes and posture. Yes, it does bring tears to the eyes, but now they are happy tears because this little one will make it, thanks to you.

Please do not blame yourself. You did everything you could for Sweetpea and her babies. Think what might have happened if you hadn't made her go 'poof'.
(on second thought, don't dwell on that)

Rocky seems the perfect name for this little fighter. Please keep us posted.

Hugs to you, Sweetpea and this little miracle.

that picture of Sweetpea and her baby is so touching end emotional.
You can see it in her face how much she loves that widdle biddle baby.
She is holding him/her so close to her heart, just as any of us here would hold our own children to comfort them.
all I can say is thank goodness she is in your home where she is safe and she looks so very content too.
My pick for the name would be Miracle., because that is what he/she truely is :)

Lorraine, that is one of the sweetest pictures ever! Knowing the story and how this momma has fought to keep her babies, this picture is PRICELESS!!! I do like the name Ditto ... as I had named one of my B&W fosters that, because he reminded me of my RB Tucker. Rocky is also cute, but since we already have a PT Rocky (Jazzcat) then I'm suggesting Stallone .... as in Sylvester Stallone who played Rocky Balboa! ;) Whatever you name him, we will love it, because it will be his own special name!

HUGS to you, Lorraine for all you've done for Sweetpea and her little blessings!

Kim

I am praying this little baby makes it. I am so sorry the others did not. And everyone is right, atleast she got to love her babies, and knows what it feels like. She is precious, and you can tell, she is one AMAZING momma kitty. Hugs to you both

I think you should name him Goose. It's the time of year the geese fly south maybe passing over you, his brother had a goose-in-flight mark on his back, and geese are strong, feisty critters!

Hope all is well with Sweetpea and her little one today. I get so I hold my breath when I check for news of them on cat general. Hope he is stronger every minute.

(((HUGS))) to the little family and of course, you!!!

If we want to give him the name of a fighter, how about Max (for Max Schmeling) or J.L. (for Joe Louis)?

Any suggestions anyone?? :)

That is such an adorable photo! :D
Here are some more name suggestions:
along with the Rocky theme, why not call him Stallone like Kim said, or maybe Sly, or Stoney, or Slate, to go with his gray color, or Grayson(because he's gray and a boy), or Hero or Champ for being such a fighter.
But my favorite name for him is KEEPER because that is what he is!
It looks like Sweetpea is saying in the photo, as she hugs him close, " Come on Meowmie, please can we keep him?" ;)

I hope you can update us again soon with more photos of Sweetpea and her Numero Uno son. :)

POD!

Those are wonderful names to chose from.Purrrfect :) I like Carbon but both are great.Any name is great.
I think if you keep him you'll see later on that it was worth EVERYTHING in the world to go through what you went through.Seeing him grow up and get old with you is the best thing in the world.
My oldest cat now is ROSCO...how about that?
Here he is
