New deluded calico kitten, Endora, joins the troupe

Supposedly the sister to Cadet has just joined us while we still have the four. She’s just a tad bigger and has the same personality which is really quite pleasant. One of her eyes needs attention (isn’t that always the case) so we’ve lots of experience with this troupe so this one will be no more challenging.

Pictures coming soon.

Merlin, Cricket, Trask and Cadet

We’ve named the newest brood and process differs each time with us. After two years fostering kittens you’d think that we’d have this down pat. Nope! Cricket was Crystal until tonight when wifey-poo wanted to go over names. The list was long and often names had three syllables (not my favorite cadence for an animal) but in the end we agreed on these names. The kittens have not say in this process at all – they just have to sit and look pretty.

Ain’t they cute?

Progress with the black one

Small steps are important when rearing kittens and any young animal, today the blocked black one finally pooped just a little. It’s really a relief having him move his bowels after the first few days we’ve had him and he produced nothing.

Questioning the vet his suggestion was to wait two more days before doing anything and this doesn’t immediately sit well with us since we’ve not seen this before. It looks like the advice was right and we hope he’ll be a productive member of our tribe.
