well my little sickie is still clueless. I put her down among her litter mates as they were all eatting nicely (well ok.. not so nicely.. they usually end up covered in the stuff) and she just looked around completely confused, and screaming like an idiot. She so reminds me of someone.. :) I medicated her first, I think she thought I was feeding her, cause after the medicine hit her tongue she gave me the nastiest look. But hey.. its for her own good. Then when I tried to feed her she wasn't all that interested... till a few drops hit her lips.. then it was all yes yes.. give me that.. give me that.
Not much new to report on her siblings. The little black one that had a sty type thing on her eye.. that has cleared up. A couple of them have eye issues relating to the URI.. but I keep them medicated and hopefully this will clear up. They HATE the warm packs I put on their faces to help clear up their sinuses. I so wish there was something.. a kitty decongestant if you would. But hey..its only a little snot. At least they are all eating well, and playing well, and climbing up on my lap when Im in there (and that's a good thing why? lol.. do you know how hard it is to dish out food when you have six kittens in your lap?)
Bugsy, izzy and melvin have to be of size to go back now. They so have to have their noses clear up first *crosses fingers that happens by tuesday* I don't know when scooter will be. but then he's always been on the small size, I think he was a week younger than the others and they just put them all together to get mom to nurse.
Speaking of mom.. she's become a quite friendly cat. She still doesn't like jack, but that's understandable. She's also loaded with milk. Im surprised she doesn't willingly let the kittens nurse to get rid of it all.. but nope.. she doesn't. They get a few suckles in when she's trying to eat. I feel bad for them, but they are growing and doing really well, so Im not going to push it on her. She didn't give birth to 9 kittens. I can understand her reluctance.
I was cuddling with the little black one last night. She looked up at me with her big eyes, and I got a mental image of the black kit that died. It felt like little one missed her. I started crying all over again. I have to say, I really have to applaud the people who work at the shelter. They must go through a lot.
