We have babies!!! New baby pics #466

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yep, our Baby has her eyes open now. Well, at least one. I only saw one open this morning but it was sort of dark in the dog house and her head was turned slightly away from me. She also has a black mask around her eyes like a raccoon making it harder to see her eyes. Won't be long and she will be venturing around. Then I'll really worry. She has a whole neighborhood to get lost in plus a busy street out front. Hopefully momma kat will keep her away from that.

Momma Kat is making progress too. I have been sitting outside in the evenings and early mornings with her. Last night we played with a long weed. It's so fun to watch her play. Poor kat probably never had a toy to play with.

She is getting better about not getting her claws in me too. When she starts too, I just pull my hand back and say "no claws". Then pet her. She likes being petted. I'm thinking her family must have hit her. The first time I pulled my hand back and said NO! she dropped like she had been shot.

Her hair is looking lots better and the vitamins she has been getting must be working. She has been playing in the mowed grass and seems to be really settling down. I'm hoping to get her spayed after the baby is weened.

Prayers and crossed fingers still greatly appreciated.

I hope their is a chance that the mom cat can get a loving home. Sounds like she is making progress and just needs sometime and someone to understand her.

Poor girl. I feel bad for her when you said how she just dropped like she was shot or something poor thing.

I hope she continues to make progress so she can find a forever home as well.

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.
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.

Momma kat will make someone a really great cat someday.

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.

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:

Momma kat got up too fast and rolled baby over!

What is Edwina doing with that kitten????

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

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!

What is Edwina doing with that kitten????

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