When I first gave Ethel's babies away we kept one. Since all of the babies went to friends I thought it would be fun to "visit" one. They were about 4 months old. My kitten Peyton was excited to see her sister, but her sister was not happy to see her at all. Probably since it was at the...

I am pet sitting a cat that is almost 18 right now and every time I go to the house I'm afraid (that she's dead!) but am guaranteed that IF she has pooped which is only once every other day or so, she doesn't cover it at all! She doesn't cover the pee either. When I went in yesterday she must...

When I took her in to be spayed and to get her shots, they said that there was no medical reason why. I thought it was really weird since it seemed to be only fabric. Of course she has already christened my son's new Notre Dame chair that he got for Christmas (that was 60 bucks!) It has a...

I have a female cat that is 19 months old. When she was a kitten she would pee in the laundry. If it was in the basket or in a pile on the floor. If a comforter was left on the sofa or floor she would pee on that as well. When we found out she was pregnant we thought that she would stop nce...

After reading the posts I told them to leave them alone because if they caught one I had no clue as to what we were going to do with it! I did discover the humane society as opposed to the animal shelter and am going to contact them on Monday. The shelter has a huge waiting list for humane...

Katie, I just realized that you are in Virginia. I don't know if this info is worthwhile to you or not but my uncle is a vet in I think Shady Grove, MD. He lives in Fairfax so it has to be pretty close. I think his animal hospital is called Petropolis. His name is Michael Bassett. I don't...

I live in a really nice neighborhood (much more than we can really afford) and evidently she fed these cats in the backyard because whatever her neighbor was doing was drawing rats! Of course we are near a creek and I think with our drought it draws out the vermin but it sounds so dirty! So I...

My sons told me yesterday that a house that is vacant and up for sale has 4 to 6 cats living in the back yard. I talked to a neighbor who was friends with the people who moved and learned that the women fed them but they weren't "hers". Obviously for many reasons we decided that these cats had...

Silver, I am having the same situation. The kitten that we kept still meows at mommy and she will let her nurse for barely a minute! We have been out of town for the last 2 weeks and we got home late last night thinking that it wouldn't be happening anymore so imagine my surprise! Hopefully...

They are absolutely beautiful! She does look a little wide and when our kittens were that age Ethel was pretty skinny but you can never tell. I understand the concern about having them close together but I could never do that to my cat. As long as the vet feels she is healthy to continue then...

We were lucky with Ethel's kittens as 2 went to families on my son's ball team and one went to a co-worker. We have been so lucky to get to visit 2 of them regularly and we are trying to schedule a time to visit with the 3rd one. We actually took Peyton (the kitten we kept) over to visit her...

I haven't checked in for awhile and I can't believe how big they have gotten! They are so adorable and will only get cuter as they grow! I love how Skittles puts them in bed with you and the way they crawl on your face. Peyton attacks through the covers and the other night she bit me and woke...

We had 4 kittens and kept one. We still catch her nursing from time to time and she will be 12 weeks on Tuesday. Only 1 nipple still has milk and the others have shrunk back to their size but I am trying not to worry about it. I figured it was because she only had one baby left and I am going...

This was a total LOL thread! I haven't been on in awhile and I am reading about the one kitten and then I see the picture of two! I love it! Wish my labors were so easy! And just to let you know...I have 2 boys so all my animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a kitten are GIRLS!!!!!! We even had...

The last kitten left this afternoon. Boy was that hard! It was the last 2 girls and I called the twins but we are keeping one of the girls. Anyway, mom is left with her one baby and she is having a little hard time so I will be getting her fixed in about 2 weeks. I have a vet that I like but...
