I have decided to keep mama cat. It would be cruel to make her go to another home when she has come to trust us after being a stray! We named her Tiger and when she has her kittens, I will get them sterilized and adopt them out. Even if they end up strays, they at least will have had their rabies shots and won't be able to reproduce. So far I only feel two baby "balls" in her tummy. And they are moving around. I can press and rub them and they go a'hidin'. So cute. If there are only two, I might just keep them. I would feel better knowing they are safe with us. Jeeezeeepetes! I am NOT a cat person. What am I going to do with all these cats? If I get too attached, I will end up eyeballing any potential adoptive parents like they are serial killers and meth users. lol.
I got Tiger a nylon, light weight, extra large, travel dog kennel for 26 dollars at Wal Mart last night. She took a big, dog sized crap in her whelping box, so I had to throw that out and I got a potty box to put by her hiding spot and she is using it pretty good. Once she has her kittens, I will keep the familia de la Tigre in the kennel with litter box, food and water, warm blankets. That kennels is HUGE and she will safe in there.
At PetsMart today there was an adoption event by Safe Haven Rescue. There was a long legged chihuahua mix named Princess and if I did not have Tiger and a litter of kittens coming, I would have snatched up Princess so fast. She was precious, giving all those big dogs the business! I still can't believe I am a Chihuahua person! I was talking about that to another Chi mom in the check out line and she said she was not a chi person either, but it just happened by accident and now she is a chi addict. Every chi person I met has said the same thing!
Oh, all those big beautiful babies there for adoption. It was heartbreaking. Bug only interacted with the Chihuahuas and the cats. lol. A man had a slobbery English Bulldog that wanted to give her love and kisses but she wanted nothing to do with him! Oh he was such a cute little ham! I got me some bulldog kisses. Princess was giving him the business like she was the boss of all the dogs in the world. Crazy girl.
Oh, and I was there at PetsMart to get a big can of milk replacement powder for Tiger so she can have plenty of good, rich milk for them baby tigers. Just sprinkle the dry stuff on her kitten food and make sure she has plenty of fresh water at all times and her milk will make those little assassins grow big and healthy and deadly. lol.
What the heck am I going to do with a freakin' litter of kittens?
Love them, spoil them, and call them weird looking rabbits. :)
ReplyDeleteUh, Brandi, that would be, "what am I doing with a freakin' litter of tigers? " Freddie, has certainly imparted some great wisdom to Lorna, and I would say she has basically got it covered except she left out telling us all about them.
ReplyDeleteAll about weird looking rabbits? Spider already thinks he is a rabbit. That is probably why he freaks out with Tiger.
ReplyDeleteBrandi, why should Spider be upset to meet another rabbit he uncannily resembles?
ReplyDeleteIts because she's a mamma to be and is giving off keep away pheramone's(I think that's how its speltBrain is on over load had to work today not my normal work dayand I'm out of sink)once she has had the kittens and they get bigger things will settle!
ReplyDeleteTo Brandi Our KITTY GIRL!xx Speedy and Rachel
Good points, ladies.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sweet of you... Good luck with the kittens!
ReplyDeleteBrandi, I am off to the shelter, but wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year. I guessing that there is not much chance that your babes will be the first kitties born in the New Year, but I hope you and them are doing well. I've been wanting to ask when Orthodox New Year is...sort of angling for a few more days before the resolutions kick in...Peace and Blessings, Juana bet whose going to win that game?
ReplyDeleteLiturgical New Year starts September 1! You got OOODLES of time for THAT new year's resolutions! Hug the Bunnies for me!
DeleteOR....Just wait for Chinese New Year!
