today was weighing time for the kits.. MP 10.3 Kermit 10.5 Gonzo 9.0 fozzie 10.3 Peanut 5.4 I decided to give kmr another chance. He wasn't all that into it, and I ended up with more on me than in peanut, but this evening he weighed 5.65 so I think Im going to give it to him daily if he likes it or not. the poor kittens are all stuck in that ferrit cage. There is enough room for them, but not any running room. I let them out for a while this morning while I gave them all their meds. they are terrors. Going to have to switch rooms, cause there is NO way on earth I can let them run free in that room and be able to get in and out with out escaping kittens. a number of them reacted violently to the worming med I had to give them.. I have scrapes on my leg (yes.. I wore shorts.. My silly) and my hand. Will have to remember to take more precautions tomorrow. Fortunately they don't all need to be done. The four bigger ones only needed one dose, but sadly one of them slipped the collar I put on it, and I can't for the life of me pick out which one it was. The two orange tigers are easy, cause they have longer hair.. when I saw the collar, I hoped it had been one of them, but alas, it wasn't. It was the tortie. There were two bigger torties.. so she'll end up with an extra dose.. but that's ok. No biggie. Its so much fun to go in there.. they all run up to the front of the cage and start purring.. 10 kittens just looking up at you purring.. Made me smile all day! Friday, May 23
I just was cuddling eli and went to clean his eyes.. I usually hold him by his collar to do that, and I realized he lost his collar. Wonder where it is.. *hum* bet he hid it  make note of the three going down the hole in the back yes.. 10 more kittens.. that makes ... ready for this.. 21 cats in my house.. :) yes.. im tickled.. Yes.. Ive gone beyond crazy cat lady to freaky insane cat lady.. LOL. But the shelter loves me.. called me a life saver.. and they wont be here that long, as you can see they are quite big already. four of them are a bit older than the other six.. Its going to be one heck of a weekend!! peanut is still 5.4 MP is now 10.0... so maybe the scale is off a bit? Hopefully. I'll go down and weigh them tomorrow on a stable surface. I don't like to go down too often and let mom out of the cage, cause that's time she's not nursing. She does a great job of cleaning up after the litte ones.. the covering never has anything on it but fur. Its awesome. Thursday, May 22
5.4.. *does a little happy dance* He still looks like skin and bones, and that breathing thing is still there.. I'll get some decent pictures over the weekend.. see if we can't capture his beauty. :) MP is now.. ready for this? 10.2 yes.. 10.2 and only two weeks old. - yup two weeks today Fozzie and I have some news to report.. bows should be sent instead of balls.. yes.. he is a she. She has two very dark spots between her anus and her vulva. they looked very much like testicles. and her vulva seemed round instead of slit like.. but tonight it was a definate slit.. and all the boys' testies have dropped so they are quite visible, but fozzies didn't.. again leading me to believe she is a girl. Could be wrong, but I doubt it. You know those kittens.. they are sneaky when it comes to gender.. :) I also did an ear check of my own kitties today. Eli had some debris in his ears.. *sigh* will we ever get rid of that?? I put him back on the meds I took him off of when he got URI.. Jack and Ollie have very "slimy" ears. Doc said that was natural for them when I asked about ollie a few years ago. I cleaned them out just to check if they might not have gotten something from Eli, but it was all just 'slime'. I know that's not the correct term for it.. but its such a good descriptive word for what it is, and I don't recall the actual term. Its not wax.. way too watery. well anyway. Off to spend some quality time with my Emmykins Wednesday, May 21
that peanut is trucking right along.. he's now 5.0. Miss Piggy is almost nine now.. but she is so a little porker.. was very much the right name for her. Gonzo is 7.8 and his face is starting to look like his mothers, long and narrow. Everyone else has a round face. Peanut also now has both eyes open. will definitly have to get some more picts soon!

FOUR POINT SEVEN!!! all the others are toddling around.. looking like round fluff balls with tails and feet.. poor peanut still looks all skin and bones, well except for the nice full tummy. I finally opened up another can of kmr and he totally rejected that as well, so its currently in an ice cube tray freezing for my next set of fosters. I know its WAY too early, but I gave them a jingly ball. it was very cute watching fozzie walk around it making it jingle and he turned his head. Gonzo is very laid back.. he does the head flippy thing when you pat him.. its unbelievably adorable.. someone is going to be very lucky.. Monday, May 19
Miss Piggy - born at 3.4 is now 8.3 Kermit - born at 3.3 is now 7.9 Fozzie - born at 3.0 is now 8.0 Gonzo - born at 2.7 is now 7.3 Peanut - born at 1.9 is now 4.4 Gonzo is trying to walk around instead of swimming around the floor. Everyone has their eyes open except peanut who still only has one open. Gonzo's aren't 100% open, but they are mostly there. Slow and steady progress.. that's all I can ask for. Sunday, May 18
ugh.. he's still 4.2.. this is getting frustrating.. he's totally refusing the supplement I have, but totally wanting to nurse.. Maybe I should open a new can.. maybe the old stuff smells funny or something.. *shrug* Miss Piggy is totally living up to her name.. she's 7.7 oz now.. most everyone else is just over seven. I didn't weigh everyone.. I will tomorrow.. fozzie's eyes are fully open. Kermit's eyes are no longer totally inflamed.. just slightly pink.. you'd be hard pressed to tell. gonzo's eyes are halfway.. peanut's still only got one eye open. and miss piggie's eyes are just slightly more than half way..  Few more pictures uploaded to their kitten page Peanut is down to 4.1 the room was a little chilly so I turned the heat up.. hopefully that's all it was. |
