And we're back!

Sorry we've been incognito for so long.  MH's mom had some medical problems and we moved up to help her out.  Its kinda neat here, once I got used to the idea that I could go outside (Love laying on the back porch in the sun, we couldn't do that in the old place.).  When we moved we got with a few of the rescues in the area and managed to bring 25 cats and kittens from a kill shelter area to a no-kill area (Dont think they liked the trip much, but a friend of MHs stayed in the back with them).

Virago stayed with us until the doorknob kittens (The five siamese someone left hanging on our doorknob in a plastic sack and towel in 30 degree weather, only three survived unfortunately) were old enough.  Then she and two of the kittens went to live with MH's sister.  The runt (Sorry Bit) stayed with us and was named Bitty (Since he was a little bit and slept curled in MH's hand when he was little). 

As you can tell we get along well and are doing great.  We'll post some more later once we get some more time.

Myst, Bit and MH

Catch up time

Ok.. Its been awhile since we've been around so here we go.

They were tearing a building down at the place MH goes to work, he went out and did a walk thru before they started and found four kittens in there!  They hissed and bit at him but he caught them and got them to a friend (Couldn't bring them here, we're full to overflowing) who is trying to socialize them.  We'll keep you informed as things go (Oh!  Three orange kits and a tortie by the way).

MH managed to catch Virago's mom (She was a outdoor cat that we think someone left behind) and she's adapted well to being inside.  The only problem is she had a litter of six kittens a few weeks ago and we're having problems finding homes for the older kittens.  The good news is we've managed to get thirteen kittens/juveniles adopted so far. 

Other than that everythings going well.  MH is making sure we all stay healthy, get plenty of food and water.  We'll try and get some pictures posted soon as he can get the time to download them from his phone.




For now we leave you with a picture of Myst and Baby Boo sleeping comfortably.

And yet more

Last Tuesday morning I found two of the cats I had adopted to a lady downstairs on her patio, and none of her stuff was there.  I checked and found out she had moved out so I brought the sisters back home (They went nuts when I got them home checking everyone and you could tell they felt safe again) and they settled in tuesday morning.  When I woke up tuesday afternoon to get ready for work I found out that Bina (Short for Tabitha) was giving birth to what ended up being five kittens.  One kitten didn't survive unfortunately.  But the other four (Pure white, 2 grey with white socks and a black with white socks) were doing well and Bina finally settled down and stopped moving them around (We made her a safe spot under the bed).

A Virago and family update

Virago is doing well and getting around (and mauling her sibs) quite well.  Only time she seems to get irritated is when she can't get up on the bed or climb something (She can't get good traction with only one front paw).  Once her sibs are weaned and ready we're going to go with adoptions, Virago will be staying here unless someone special comes in for her.  Kinda possessive of the little stinker aren't we?

Here's a good view of her right leg so you can see where they had to amputate.

 Little Virago in her towel while we waited at the vets for her checkup.  She looks so thoughtful.

Virago is on the left, as you can see she is using her right leg more as a prob when she eats or such.

And I was worried when the kits came in that Mystery wouldn't do well with other cats

Update

I came home from work yesterday morning to find Virago had somehow lost her right paw (We're thinking it was due to tissue death or infection) so I rushed her to the vet one of the local rescues recommended.  Not only were they able to fix her up (Unfortunately she had to have a partial amputation (just below the elbow)) and she's doing well.  Is nursing and sleeping well, mama welcomed her home and started cleaning virago and letting her nurse.).

Best part is one of the Doctor's nurses wants to adopt Virago!  So she has a home waiting for her once she's weaned from Mama.

Update on Virago

She's in less pain and eatting well.  I got some pics of her paw and it feels abit like her other paw, but is looking a bit better to.

Prayers Needed!

MH was taking the trash out this afternoon and heard kittens.  Tracked it down to a mattress someone had thrown out.  He proceeded to get them out of the mattress and discovered one was tangled and had no circulation in her right front leg (Might be broken He's not sure yet since he doesn't want to move her much).  He got the tangle off her leg, so we're waiting to see if the circulation comes back.  Her name is Virago (Named for his/her lungs) and now that she's named she won't go to the bridge (we're hoping that holds true, no one should leave for the bridge before they can even see the world). 

She could use all the purrs and prayers she can get and we'll keep you informed.

Sorry so long between updates

We're back!  MH has been busy lately with his work, the flu and trying to find homes for a few of our outdoor friends.

First!  A update on our christmas surprise.  There were two!  not one kitten.  So here they are!

 This is the little girl (Mama hid her well, it took MH two days to find her.).

 She seems to love sleeping on the body pillow we keep against the wall.

 And this is the little boy (Floofy longhair) cuddled up with Princess.

Tabby is wondering why the kittens keep laying on her!

Everyones healthy and happy.  The little girl has a family wanting to adopt her so once we can get the dates together she'll be going to the teenage daughter.

Everyone else is taking it easy and kicked back. 

Christmas comes early

As of this morning, we have a new member of the household.  MH came home and was on the computer, heard a mewing sound and noticed everyone was watching the bed.  So he moved the bed and found that Bonkers (AKA Bonkers) had given birth to a kitten under the bed.

We were all surprised since according to the vet we use (Used to use that is) she had been fixed back after the Cat Pack was weened.  We since checked and found out that they hadn't fixed her and there was some sort of paper mess up.

Needless to say once this little one is weaned she's going to get a real deal.  But who could resist the cuteness.. of this little one?

Mama cat needing a paw.

The cat that MH has been feeding for awhile had her two kittens yesterday.  He's been putting on facebook and checking local fosters to try and find someone to take them in (Apparently its going to get down in the 40s the next three days).  So far no luck but considering he's already taken our heating pad downstairs to put in their box, I think he's making plans just in case.  Speaking of them..  This is the mama and near her hind leg you can see her two kittens (One is white with grey spots, the other is black and white).

If you know anyone in the DFW area that can foster or take her and her kittens in, can you leave a comment or email us?  Thanks!

Alley Oop!

The grey blur from top left to top right is Baby Grey doing a flyby.  She's my horizontal leaper, and Boo is the vertical leaper.  Our downstairs neighbor hears them playing when MH goes to work, and thought at first someone had broken in.

Some more cuteness

We thought you would like to see the little kits now that their becoming not so little.  MH even managed to catch them in the act.

Kitten Pile!

Yaaaawn

Baby Boo

Under the blue towel is a heating pad.  Explains the pile yes?

He's asleep inside a walmart plastic bag, with the litter jug in the background.

The best shot of about 10 trying to catch Boo.

Growing up fast!

The little ones are growing up fast!  They've been on canned and dry food for about 2-2 1/2 weeks now (They attack the canned).  Litter box training was completed with input from Mom and Myst.  They sound like a herd of buffalo running thru the apartment when they get rolling, but seem to be doing well.. unless you count the occasional bath.  And with no further fanfare.. Here's the latest and greatest.

Storm making sure their not about to get pounced while drinking.

Sweet sleeping Storm.

Kitten puddle (all cuddled up with Myst)

Somehow all four of the kittens were asleep on this small section of the kitten bomb shelter.  Notice Bugs yawn? 

Latest and greatest

The cuteness overload continues, these little ones are all over the place.  Their already good with the litterbox, and even eatting dry food (Theirs or Mine, their not picky).  The fun part is watching MH when he wakes up to turn over, he has to feel around to make sure a kitten isn't sleeping against him.  Without further ado, here are some of the latest pics of the kits.

Play time!

The little ones have started exploring and playing (Its hilarious watching them since their still working on their coordination so some of the moves are funny).  This Saturday they'll become 4 weeks old, didn't know they would already be ready for a litter box and such.  But mama takes good care of them.  MH got some canned kitten food for them and kitten kibble to, so we'll see where that goes.  In the meantime.. here's some new pics of the babes.

And it begins!

I warned him!  But does MH listen?  He saw for himself when he was at home Saturday.  The little black and white girl decided she'd had enough and went out exploring!

Needless to say once he saw her she got alot of cuddling and he even called the friend who was wanting to adopt.  So she got to hear the little one mewing over the phone.

Look at that little chin blaze!  (We both think it makes her look even cuter).

Growing Fast

The little ones are ten days old today.  Their growing fast!  I've even watched them paw slapping each other to get to the milk bar -g-.

Catching up!

Here's some pics of the little ones and some of Mama.

The last picture is of the first kitten to open their eyes (And boy that ones loud).
