Fostering Mama and babies. LOTS of questions! *PIC ADDED!*

Congrats on your new family!

You said:
...so right now we are going through 6 cans of Fancy Feast a day....

I was thinking if it were me, I would be switching to a less expensive canned food and then I read that you are thinking about getting some 9 Lives. Yes, That should save you some money if Her Highness will eat it . Good Luck! I always fed my cat/s dry and canned that I mixed together.

Hee hee, yes, if Celeste was ANYTHING but a nursing mama I'd let her know that she could darn well eat what I put in front of her or she could go hungry until she decided to eat what was provided! I'm actually headed to the grocery store in a few minutes and I think they have some 9 lives there. I'll try a can and see if it's acceptable.

How wonderful that you're caring so well for this little family. I hope you'll find something healthy the mom likes and she will produce enough milk for the kittens - love the name Celeste.

Btw, expensive food, which is healthier, she will eat less of, so it may not be a bad idea.

Thank you, and good luck with them!

I seem to remember reading one time that a new momma cat should be fed kitten food. Not sure if that is true - maybe someone else here knows?

[snakemama]

Soooo my sil just came by and informed me that both kittens are boys! That means one potential home has fallen through because she has her heart set on a girl kitten. But hey! It's kitten season and there are girl kittens everywhere!

I'm keeping Star's name though, it works just as well for a boy. Comet may wind up named Cosmo, because I keep calling him that by mistake. Oops!

[snakemama]

I almost forgot, new pic of the boys! Comet was soooo puny and skinny at first, he's making up for lost time now!!

Oh my goodness, they are just SOOOOOO adorable! Be still, my heart!

What an adorable little cat family. I like the names you chose. I'm sure that they'll all find their forever home very quickly. Good luck.
