Ok, I might be a softy

Or maybe it was a ploy to see Jays new place and project.

He offered up these cuties on FB the other day. I had just mentioned to my wife we needed to get a couple more kittens for the older cats to train as we had one pass recently, due to a tick bite.


Four female kittens, all very friendly and used to human contact. They all got cleaned up when I got them home and a warm bowl of milk before bed.

Now Jays project…I’ll just say that it’s amazing, and his attention to detail dwarfs the effort put into many of my projects. I can’t wait to see the final project.

Thanks Darren you are to kind about my build. It was really nice to get to visit with you today and I hope we can do it again soon.

I just had to have our cat put down on Monday. He was old, bad thyroid and the pills did not seem to be helping anymore, He quit eating 4 days prior so I knew it was time. He was one of the best most personable of all the cats we have had over the years. Really insisted on being part of the family and included in everything. Will be missed, but part of life with pets. Too old to get anymore. Those are real cuties.

Pussy cat pussy cat I love you , yes I do

We've had 3 cats.

Found 1 in a dumpster on vacation in a campground in Southern Nevada.
Family member moved cross country left their cat with us.
Saw a cat on security cameras hanging around our house, so I trapped it. It was feral, but after 4 months locked in a bathroom it decided it wanted to be tame and has become a very good boy, lol.

Poor old Socks, our oldest cat got ran off the porch today by the gang of 1 lb kittens. He tried to be tough, but they stood their ground.

I didn’t even see the younger male until the kittens got kenneled for the night.

They’ll both be snuggled up with the kittens in a couple of weeks. The older one is taking it much better this round though.

We don;t need any more cats around. The neighbors across the street have a bunch of them and we keep seeing a new litter around the place. Then some highway pancakes.
Don't really care for cats, more of a dog person but to old to get another pet.

Yeah, I don’t know what the chances are of a full litter being all females is, but suspect someone thought they were being “smart” and kept the males and dumped these girls.

We’ll get them spayed in the spring when they are old enough, our males are already neutered. We’ve found that they don’t wander away from the farm when they are fixed and getting regular meals.

I ordered some Terramycin for two of the kittens eyes, both seemed to have a case of pink eye, with a bit of puss discharge. Treated them this afternoon and all got a coupe of drops of frontline to finish off any fleas they may have.

I picked up a few little stuffed mice cat toys, packed with a little catnip. Came in a pack of 3, but should have got another pack as one of the kittens was left out, and the other 3 weren’t sharing and being quite aggressive in that they weren’t going to.

 

[Jay Caughron]

Linda wants to know who got left out and do they have names yet?

 

[Darren Wright]

I think it was the littlest one, which we’ve named Hazel. The others are Pepper, Sage, and Ginger, which I’m sure you can figure out which is which. We know Hazel isn’t a spice, but she is a little nutty.

My wife has started referring to them as the spice girls.

The older cats are still having “feelings” towards this change, but both made their way to the porch to observe the new generation. Socks, the oldest, chose to lay down for a bit and groom himself. The little ones watched him intently, then like on queue, they started doing the same. They started to warm up, but no contact was made. I give them another day or two and they’ll be cuddled up together.

You sure you're not running a "cat house"?
