Kitten Update…

by Deb

flash-by-roundy-toy.JPGtigger-by-toy-basket.JPGcody-on-tv-shelf.JPGwell, i thought i had posted that i had found two more kittens other than the little one in the attic… but i guess things have been so crazy around here that i didn’t do that!  ah, i just looked at a previous post and saw that i did mention finding the two other kittens. and we’ve changed the name of the one we found in the attic - from tommi dee to cody, since she looks so much like one of my aunt’s cats … who was named cody.  cody is the one in the picture with the little bobtail.  it’s sooo cute! 

i found two more kittens outside underneath a metal shelf thing i had around back.  i snatched them up and have been bottle feeding the three of them.  they’re all doing well…and are about to move up to ‘real’ food.  which would be great, since when they’re hungry…which is ALL the time…they love to climb my legs!  ouch!!! 

i’m a pro at clipping kitty nails but these guys are way way too wiggly and their little nails are so tiny that i haven’t even tried yet.  but wow, are they ever sharp! 

there’s cody, the little calico bobtail of course, and then there’s tigger, who is a calico… and flash, the white one with the black slash across her forehead.

they’re about 5 weeks old now and they’re having a grand time.  besides climbing my legs, they play with all their toys and drive the other cats crazy and yell for more food and sleep and then get up and do it all over again. 

there’s a great deal of joy in bottle-feeding babies, but you need to have the time and the patience to pull it off.  thankfully i have both right now! 

however, they’ve figured out how to get on the bed, so i have to be careful…they figure out i’m IN the bed and they run up to my face and POUNCE!  i think they associate my voice with food, so they head directly for my head!  :-D 

here’s a past post about the first kitten:  NEW KITTEN

here’s a good post from a fellow blogger with some great thoughts on how we prepare or DON’T prepare properly for disasters such as the california fires:   AVOIDING NATURE’S FURY
