All I know is this is a thing cats do when taken from their mother too early and also goddamn he's adorable.

I think the "taken too early" is part of it, but it might also just be how Butterscotch expresses his sense of safety and comfort. :kimchi:

I'm very sorry to hear about the death of your little foster kitten. I hope the rest of your little flock remains healthy.

I like the cat trees and prices on aosom.com. Never had any issues. Free shipping is a nice bonus.

(Armarkat brand is also great.)

Geki update:





Tuckered.

She remains awful sneezy despite multiple treatments for kitty respiratory problems. She goes back to the vet next week for her rabies vaccination, and we'll see what else can be done for her sneezums.

Found outside my building. All of them filthy and cold and people friendly. Big cardboard box with them. :/ I'll keep an eye out for mom cat but they seem like they might have been dumped.

They've got teeth (or the beginnings), so I'm thinking they're at that three weekish mark. Haven't tried solid food just yet.

"Hitler" went right into the dry food without issue. Blackistan and the others were more interested in seeking attention. Runty urinated on his own, then sat in it.

We'll make some weight gain mix when we can get more supplies tomorrow!

Will continue to watch for a possible mama cat and additional kittens. 4 is a good litter size, though, so I'm not expecting to find others.

Thanks for all the help and tips, thread.

Plz suggest better names, tia.

A sleepy mess right now, apparently! ALSO, sorry about the poor view. I set it up in kind of a rush this morning and will work on something better later.

Small updates --

Didn't have time to weigh in this morning. The vet will handle that in a couple of hours, though!

The black one pooped. I haven't seen anyone else poop. I've seen urine spots in the towels, at least.

Dry food is going mostly ignored, except by the two bigger kitties. The KMR continues to be devoured.

The runty one gets all shivery sometimes. He really worries me.

Hopefully Squid will have good news from the vet today. I hope they all come out clean for FelV and leukemia. :ohdear: I'll also be contacting a couple area shelters to get their input on fostering.

Hoping to move them out of the bathroom later today and into a big cardboard box in the office, but I'm willing to bet that's a bad idea until I know they're flea free.

Thank you for the name suggestions!

The webcam'll be boring now for sure. Shortest foster ever!

The vet's office volunteered to take on the kittens at no added cost to us. The kittens will be given great care and love before they're homed. This is great for me and Squid, as our home is somewhat cramped, and we have Norris and Geki who deserve our utmost attention. Still, I'll miss the teeny things. The black one was such a lovey.

Health check, for the curious -- runty one has respiratory issues (probable URI); only the tabby is female; no obvious ear mites; fleas can be treated through bathing and combing and glaring; infection(s) will be treated with ointment.

Byebye, babbycats!

Norris is super obsessed with peanut butter. He gets vicious in his demands for it if I ever eat peanut butter toast.

Emma's sweet! Would love to see that last pic working, so I can get a peek at Luna, too.

Squidtentacle took Geki to the vet yesterday for her final shots. She has a tag now and everything; an official catte!

Also, he got good news regarding the pack of four kittens we found. All four are doing very well, and they already have homes. One is going home with a vet staffer, and the other three are going home with someone on the grooming staff.

The runty one I was so worried about is apparently thriving, too. It's a good ending. :shobon:

I sing to my cats all the time. Sometimes I even use pre-existing melodies. Most of the time I just make up the tune as I go, though WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT is always a favorite to sing to Norris.

(When it comes on the radio I dance with him and he hates hit. :kimchi:)
