Its been a while since I last entered anything here. Between a full 40 hours a week job and these little kitties, I have been a busy lady. They made it through the tough part of being a kitten in that they survived the formula and daily bathings. We managed the transition to solid food with only two being stubborn and refusing the bowl. But, a little persuasion and some patience and they all took to solids well. Each has their own little personalities and at times it can cause a noisy bit of fun! Halfpint doesnt like others near him when he eats, so he will bully the rest with growls and literally laying IN the food bowl. He gets the cage until the rest are through eating. Charlie finially grew big enough to NOT slip thru the bars of the cage we bought for them. He has taken a liking to Psycho-kittie, the first of our rescue cats. She has adopted all 6 of them as her own and will call for them when feels any threat. She took off out the back door the other night after one of the "outside kitties". We had to help her find the back door by using a flashlight and her favorite game of "wheres the light now". She got into the house and immediately gathered the 6 around her, sniffing and licking each one.
My darling Fang did the same thing I did with the two remaining outside-kitties from this litter. He was out there today at the washing machine and turned to see two little bundles on the porch. He scooped them up thinking " how did you guys get out here?" and tossed them through the kitchen door. All hell broke loose. Psycho-kittie went after the first with claws blazing! She drove this poor scared black one right behind the refrigerator and would not let her go. We had to use a broom to shoo her off and lock her in our bedroom so that we could somehow maneuver the black outside kittie to the door. It worked and both babies were fine. Now Psycho-kittie has never shown that kind of fierce defensiveness to anything but Fang's hand and it was suprising to see her display this to another cat.
Well, I will post new pics of the little ones here and stop rambling!
Peace Out!
