Sweety claws - the females strike back.

[Killearn Kitties]

Sweety Claws, I can see that you are in need of a strong female role model and I think I know just the woman!

My Jessica is well practised in the education of kittens



and takes no lip from anybody!



I feel she has what it takes to continue your education in the face of Big Boy's opposition. She is currently looking at flights to Copenhagen and will keep you posted.

Hi Im the Princess , and I once had 3 litters in the wild , but Garys Aunt Joan rescued me and I have a great home.
Although I remember My Younger Days when I was the Belle Of Waterdown and the Young Cats laid mice and rabbits at my feet, and the odd bird too.

Sweety Claws , I know how good you will feel when that operation is over, and you dont have to worry about the patter of Little Paws.

Randi - Sc was in the chair for 3 hours because BB made sure she stayed there. After being beaten up by BB for the third time that evening, she stayed put and didn't move for ages. Very unusual behaviour for her - she normally follows him as soon as he has gone. This time BB made his point.
The difference between their usual fights and these disciplinary actions is very obvious. Normally BB gives up the chasing as soon as SC has got away a couple of times, but here he goes after her in a determined and hard-handed way, and to make sure she gets the point, BB comes back at 30 min intervals to repeat the lesson
The same exact thing happened just as I wrote the last two lines 'It's dark. if I could only get outside'. In shoots SC, doing a wall-of-death on the back of the corner sofa where I was writing, rapidly followed by BB. BB got her cornered pretty quickly, and real claws made real contact. Sc was on her back getting pounded. Reminded me of Mike Tyson v. Mickey Rooney. Typical SC reaction - she fought back! BB hesitated, she escaped. So BB came back later and the whole thing was repeated. And again, she lay alert but motionless on a chair for about two hours.

Killearn Kitties - Love the fotos! The first one impressed me - Jessica has 3 of the kittens in formation, at 180 degrees and 90 degrees, and is staring at the one kitten who still thinks 45 degrees is the way to go!
Underneath, I saw the caption for the next foto - 'And takes no lip...', and had to scroll down the bush before I saw the monster at the bottom. Perfect editing. Someone had to come out and ask what I was laughing at.
Jessica, you are welcome anytime.

KK, now I am really confused, I must have missed something years ago. I see Jessica there, and four kittens. I take it that two of them are Daisy and Samantha, so what happened to the other two?

So that's all cleared up, BB IS in charge after all.

After SC's spay, I'm sure she'll calm down - at least for a few days!

Killearn, that such a Wonderful Photo of that Gray Momma Cat and Her Four Kittens, Two to a Bowl!!!
What a Wise Momma Cat to keep her eye on Her Babies and letting Her Gray Cats of the Future have some freedom!!

Randi, that photo is of the next litter that Jessica had. When she moved Sam and Daisy into our garden it was the beginning of October. We managed to get Sam and Daisy inside over the winter, but we never did catch Jessica. The following Spring a large tom showed up and, hey presto! Another litter. We were lucky to catch Jessica and all four kittens that time. We kept Jessica and the kittens all went to wonderful homes.

[Randi]

Karen, those four look SO much like Sam and Daisy! Glad that they all got loving homes. Are you in touch with any of them? Did you ever see who the father was?

[Killearn Kitties]

I don't want to hijack Sweety Claws thread.

Did we see who the father was? Have you never seen him, Randi?



He hung around for years. We fed him and Alec built a shelter for him outside. He was a feral tom and not keen to be tamed. We managed to get him his jabs, and the operation. We hoped he would stick around more after that. He did turn up every couple of days for a good feed, but his wild instincts were strong. He loved his kittens though.

That was a big improvement on a couple of days previously!

Big Boy has been following the debate closely, and is disturbed to hear that females can have kittens more than once.
