I believe it was the day after we picked up Miley, the new kitten, that I looked outside and noticed a mama cat with her babies. *sigh* Of course, have to take action (waiting on a surgery date for mama, have caught 3 of the 5 babies so far).
Rhiannon has a gift with animals. She had the job of taming our two (now giant) cats when we first got them. She has these 3 purring and playing and generally tearing up her room like kittens should. Miley is happy because when she jumps on one of our giant cats, they just keep walking and ignore her. Now she has someone to play with!
Do you think we're in trouble?
I was talking to one of the dads at school waiting for Rhiannon and he mentioned that he was looking for a cat. Hello, sir! I can help you out!
So for an update:
- We have fleas, kittens are too young for flea treatment. Terrylynn gets bitten any time she visits, fleas apparently don't like vegetarians as Rhiannon & I have been safe.
- Mama kitty has an appt on 11/9 for a spay, however I am going to contact ARF & see if they will do it instead. Our county shelter seems unclear about how to deal with ferals.
- Need to catch 2 more kittens. Going to purchase a trap rather than rent from county, they annoyed me. I think the trap they rented me was defective & they charged me $5 a day anyway.
- Need to find homes for kittens so I do not keep all 6 cats (mom + 5 babies).
- Terrylynn (mom) wants 2 kittens, Bob (dad) does not.
- Rhiannon (daughter) wants 5 kittens, Chris (Crazy Cat Lady) does also, so has to be rational.
- PLEASE ALWAYS SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS! Your neighbors will appreciate it!
