Last week...Thurs. actually....someone dumped a VERY pregnant kitty off on us. It happens alot around here, but anyway we took her in and made her as comfortable as possible. Ofcourse our other 2 kitties had a fit at first but they finally gave in and left the poor girl alone. Saturday DS had a Buddy League tournament and we were gone from 11 am until 10 pm and when we got home WE HAD 5 NEW KITTIES!!! They are so sweet! But with the birth came pure heck from our 2 girls....they want so badly to check out the new comers and the Mommy is NOT gonna have that. Needless to say it has been very interesting around here. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make it a little more pleasant between ALL the kitties?

Oh, we have them in a seperate room, BUT our 2 girls keep going to the door and meowing wanting in and mommy is hissing back at them, then they just go nuts! It is CHAOTIC!!!!!
Moondance, I LOVE KITTENS TOO!!!! They are so tiny and precious....Needless to say, I am spending way too much time in that room. Thanks so much for the great link!

I kind of figured that is what was going on... I guess if you can seperate the seperation... like put some distance between the door that seperates them... distract the older ones as much as possible... I have been in your situation many a time... it can drive you crazy but the novelity will wear off with them soon. Hang in there.

I wish I was there LOL!

Awhile back I saw a PBS program about barn cats. I never knew that domestic mother cats are just like mother lions in that they do communal care of the babies. They take turns nursing which ever baby wants a little din-din. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Of course these females were all well acquainted with each other. I doubt it would work in Suits case.

I'm sure most of you know that the daddy Siamese helps mommy take care of the kittens. That's pretty rare in the feline kingdom as most males just want to eleminate the babies in order to coax the females back into heat. The rascals!

Suitsme..you and your DH are so special to take the mama and babies in, a lot of people wouldn't have done that. Stray cats used to always have babies on our patio. I think us cat people have neon signs on our house that say "all cats welcome!"...we can't see them but the cats can!!!
Hope the house settles down soon!
OPhiliasgma...there is a charity out here in CA(Concerned Animal Lovers)and they have sarragot(I can't spell!) mom cats they use for infant kitties.

Suits, I want a kitten!!! A friend (who lives 100 miles away) wants to give me an almost-grown cat, but I want a young kitten for my kids. Where do you live?!?! What color are the beauties? Cats are my very favorite animal in the world!!!

Look at those kitties up there. They are just too cute! I want another kitten!! I can't afford another kitten, but I want one. I must learn to control my maternal urge. LOL

Sia, I am in Arkansas.....The kittens already have homes when they are ready (that is if I can part with them then LOL). As soon as we discovered Mommy Kitty I called the Lady who runs the local shelter and She has a deal with a Local vet who Spays and Neuters them and finds good homes for them. She called me after they were born to let me know they had a good home for Mommy and all the Kitties....Sorry!
There are 2 sets of twins in the litter, 2 black and white striped babies...2 gray and white babies....and 1 totally gray baby....and Mommy looks like a himalayan, alot like our girl Christy.
My Dh is making fun of me every time I have them in my lap, telling me if I could just feed them I would probably take them away from their Mommy! LOL, I probably would!

Well shoot I used to live in Arkansas! I hope things have settled down... I want to hold them!:)

LOL Suitsme! I would be the same way. Whenever we have new kitties and puppies I always pull my back out from constantly bending down to pick them up!

That's okay, Suits; you're too far away for me to drive to pick up a kitten! That's the thing about cats: they're everywhere! I'm very happy that you got good homes for all the babies, and for the mama, too. That can be really hard to do!

That's one of my boys, Teddy. I just got my first computer ... yeahhhh ... (ditched WebTV) and couldn't wait to show off my baby pictures :) I'll try to make the pics alittle smaller somehow. I'll post his brother, Coco's pic, later when I figure out the sizing part.

Ohhhh Teddy is VERY handsome and a great poser! Congrats on the computer!:)

I concur! And with a pose like that, I wouldn't decrease the size of the picture!

At least he's not as lazy as my girls:

coco

Thanks, Moondance! My Bear is a 15+lbs sable Burmese. His brother, Coco, above is half the size but he eats like crazy.

I figured out the resizing, I think. I've been without the internet for two weeks and I was going through withdrawal. This, of course, was the first place I visited after getting hooked up today :)

Halfunit, you are lucky to get them all in one picture. My guys will not sit still for a shot together. I'm going to have to borrow a digital camera from work for this weekend and take more kitty pictures ... this is too cool!

Halfunit

Monday, April 14, 2003 - 05:49 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
He looks like a Coco... all sweet and chocolatey!

Ed. Curious - lol, I am able to get all three together about once or twice a year, and only for about 30 seconds. I keep the digital camera in between the couch cushions so that I can whip it out on short notice!

Moonie, is he one of your more dominant? I can't tell by looking at his face.
