My Past and My Future

Today was VERY special for Mum and I.  Mum spoke to my Gamma Ruth and learned all about me and my show career.  I WAS NOT A THROW-a-WAY!  I like Lil Cat and Bits were and are very much wanted.  All the others were tossed out here, even the new Momma Cat.  (By the way, noone has seen her all day, but we've heard mewing and she's eaten everything put out for her.)  I Am a Champion, but I guess the shows were not my destiny.  Why, I even ran from a judge.  They talked for a very long time.  Now, I need to go back and correct my history.  Mum really didn't know.  I'll talk more and post photos later.  Mum is still coughing, esp after talking....

Continuing Saga of Baby Kittens

Arlene and Mum fed the babys twice--formula from the recipe in the 50 year old green cat book.  She considers it her best cat reference source.  They put the kittens in a cardboard carrier box in the garage.  The momma cat came back after about 7 hours, just in time for the 3rd feeding.  We were shocked to see the momma was White Spot.  We didn't even know she was a female.  She had been sleeping in the garage at night since Christmas.  She is black with white on her neck and some white on her tummy.  She was a kitten when she came.  She would eat here once in awhile, but ran if she saw us altho Mum and Dad say they petted her once in awhile.  She is so young and only a little bit bigger than I am.  And I had to have my kittens Causarean Section.  Then last night she moved the kittens.  The weather is and was awful--rain, rain, and more rain.  It is super wet.  Mum slept late this morning (she's still sick) but swears they are under the bed.  She heard mews, but we have not taken a flash light to see.  Poppy, Si, and I have peeked under the bed and we think she is there.  Dad doesn't think so....  I'll post a photo later.

Exciting Easter Weekend

Yesterday was quite interesting.  One of Mum's best friends, Aunt Arlene, needed a declawed affectionate cat for her Grandson, who has develmental problems.  Mum and Dad thought Gary would be perfect, because he didn't get enuf attention.  He was friendly with them so they took him across the street.  He loved the brushing.  (Mum says she'll have to start brushing all of us, since he liked it soooo much.)  But he cried for 2 1/2 hours and sat by the front door.  We brought him back home.  We really thought he would like a new home, but he wants his home here with all of us....

Then this morning Gary caught a baby rabbit and brought the poor thing in the house.  He didn't put too much of a fuss when Dad took it away from him.  The baby may survive.  It was bleeding but did hop away.  Nobody chased him.

The excitement continued.  Mum heard crying.  She thought maybe another rabbit, but finally she and Dad found 3 baby kittens in Mum's closet in Dad's computer room.  They were all dark stripped and the eyes weren't open.  Mum said they were about a week old.

I have to sleep and will continue the story tomorrow.  Soooo sorry!
