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.

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.

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!!!!

Wow! Mama cat is gorgeous. 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!!!
