Check out all those wonderful scratching posts!Sad kitten, now known as Sophie Sadsacks and her mother Macey are getting along better now she is the only kitten left in the house. Although her mother still may have some adjustments to undertake!
The ear tufts are amazing. Are you sure she's not really a lynx?Back to afternoon snuggles, after a morning where Sgarba discovered the "fun" of pulling paper hankies out of the box, then shredding them on the floor..!

Were with animal friends who did pay outAny insurance recommendations?
Getting round to the admin gradually, having finally settled on a name. I've registered her chip as Carrie Chapman Catt as was my original plan, because she does respond a bit to Carrie/Kerry, and nice though some of the other possibilities were there wasn't any reason for them.
I can live with people thinking it's for Carrie Fisher/Bradshaw.
A friend's son suggested Little Miss Kitty Fantastico which I think I'll keep as a secondary name. I was tempted to register her as that just to hear the vet calling it out in the waiting room.
Carrie Chapman Catt's Wikipedia has a worryingly long section on her views on race but thankfully it has a happy ending.
Big thanks to Mrs Voltz (izz) for painting whilst I did the finishing touches to a cat pen at the charity I volunteer at
In the one area they've now got the main room, a close'off'able second room with cat flap connection. A further two smaller pens in the main room. Which means that there's home for 13+ feral'ish kittens arriving today with more in the offing. They are able to house them all in the same room but if any get too fiesty they can be separated but kept together until things settle down
Part of me wants to post pictures as and when but the quality of my construction is far from good and I don't want to get too attached to the kittens in case... well, yunno... "things" start happening
General consensus re: the last kitten issue was most likely "parvo" or rather the vaccine they were given and their general immune weakness
Vet has decided that in future to give an initial smaller injection to get the immune system starting to work then follow up with a further two vaccinations in, I'm led to believe, quickish succession. These kittens are probably a bit young but we've got to try something as at the moment the influx of cats and kittens is relentless
The other day we were contacted by a Vet with a cat wanting to know if we could take a cat, like, Now otherwise it would be pts they weren't prepared to give any more time and this was at mid afternoon they wanted it gone by close of play. We took the cat
Does vet think the vaccine triggered an over reactive immune response?
That's pretty scary.
Hope the new kittens will survive.
You only think that. Just wait until you're asleep one night and Donut decides to exact his revenge. You can see it in his eyes
The black cat on the right? Is it a Maine Coon? I've been feeding this gorgeous girl (I think it's a girl haven't tried to look yet) for a couple of weeks as she'd been crying for a few days before that. Abandoned? I still haven't figured it out. She's super friendly, in incredibly good condition, and she looks very young (probably under a. year old). And she looks like the one on the right.

Given how friendly she is and the great condition of her coat, it's a recent thing, I couldn't feel a microchip, but doesn't mean isn't there. I'm waiting to see what to do next. She already coming to my door everyday waiting for food and comes running when I call her...
I had decided not to have any other cats after our Rusty goes (she's 13 years old) but if a cats adopts me I can't turn her away. Rusty was the same. A stray. Who then had 7 kittens!!! Rusty was a lot more willing to come in, wheras Precious (my gd named her that) just hisses at Rusty quite agressively and won't stay in the house any longer than necessary. Rusty just moved in once she was invited and never left . (Even though there was another cat in the house already).
I guess I'm just waiting in case her owners went on holiday?
