Max has been accepted back and is now listed for adoption.

Yesterday, I picked up 2 two-month-old females with upper respiratory infections. They actually look pretty healthy and are very active, but they have eye drops and oral medicine for some days. These are the smallest kittens I've fostered so far. They were turned in as strays and are rather scared of me. They are not used to being handled, so I had quite a hard time giving them eye drops this morning, especially the smaller one. She's a feisty little kitty!! They go back for a check-up in 2 weeks.

Pictures soon.

P.S. Happy to say one of them has been seen drinking from her water bowl already.

He's the 3rd or 4th cat who has turned off my surge protector. It's odd how they all step in exactly that spot!!

The little red neon bulb in the surge protector probably attracts them. I keep my surge protectors on their side to prevent this.

Schrodinger's cat plots his revenge.

Here are Emmy and Zooey (back and front). Both are getting used to me being around, but Zooey still doesn't like to be touched. Emmy is more tolerant and curious, as well. They are SO active and rough in their play, then are grooming each other the next moment. They finish their eye drops today, then another day of oral medicine (which apparently has a fishy taste they and previous kitties have liked).

My son who is away at college adopted the stray that was living in his back yard just prior to a really bad storm. She now lives with him and will be coming home this summer with him. Hoping her and the stray we adopted a few years ago, Zoe, get along. Anyway he is calling her "Honey" and she seems very sweet....

She iz a punkin' puss.

 

[ChristopherG]

Yes she is. Also very proud of my son - he got her all vaccinated and spade on his on dime.

Grumpy cat has passed away.

Very sad that Grumpy Cat has passed so young. Many great cat memes all over the 'net thanks to GC.

Also had some bad news this week that we will need to make a decision about my Mom's cat soon. He's 14+, so he's had a typical cat life, but it's still sad. He's had skin cancer issues for a couple years now, and he was just diagnosed as diabetic. He's not of the temperament that he's likely to endure twice-a-day insulin shots.

Insulin shots are not painful and easy to give.

I have 4 new foster kitties. Although they were turned in as strays together, the Humane Society wasn't sure if they are all siblings. I think all may be, except for the black one who is considerably bigger (and wins all the wrestling matches). They are 5 - 6 weeks old.

They are being treated with eye drops for conjunctivitis, ending today. Will be going in for a check-up later this week. The black one may possibly make the weight for spaying, but I think the other 3 will need longer.

The kitty in the 2nd to last photo is the boldest and most friendly. She will come up to me every time and likes the attention. The others are a bit skittish yet, especially the black one. She does love to stare at the human from afar, though. The sleeping one with the orange mouse is the only boy.

Nice ones! Names?

I have been busy with the kitties!! Had to take in a couple of them yesterday for their check-up and because one of them has diarrhea. So now I have liquid medicine and probiotics for all 4 kitties. Had a difficult time giving them the liquid last night -- it apparently does NOT taste good. The black one was especially adamant about not opening her mouth.

I think I've finally decided on the names, so photos with names coming soon!

I thought that one looked like trouble!
