Update - mama and kittens all got fixed on Dec 23.  The two kittens eventually made it to their new home (Feb).  Hidey, however, is now cranky with everyone, from her kittens (growl, hiss, flip a paw) to Esther, one of the original four.  Esther and Hidey physically fight until the fur flies...

No worries.  People here are very helpful.  Post pictures when you get a chance if you can!

Wow, that was months ago.  I wanted to post a quick update... the two kitties made it to my friend's home eventually, and we get regular updates.  Today, for example she called to say that she thinks they could be part maine coon, and spent several minutes describing behaviors and looks.  It's...

Oh, I have no help at all.  It sounds like you live in the country?  We do, too - and of our current batch of 9 cats, only two were ones that we asked for.  Last summer we had 4, then Hidey came around, got fatter, had 6 kittens, and we suddenly were up to 11.  I managed to palm off two of them...

I'm following along here.  Five!!!  So exciting!  We used a rice sock for warmth eventually, but our kittens were born Aug 20th so we didn't need anything for a while.  I will say, it's the best that sock has ever smelled :)

OK, I know it's been a while, but there was (human) illness.  Really strange outcome - the cat's eyes are pretty much back to normal with no intervention.  She runs around, chases laser pointers and goes for walks outside with us.  With absolutely no scientific background or evidence, I blame...

Our stray had six kittens - the kittens and afterbirth didn't come out right together.  Many told me she would make noise, but she only grunted.  I suspect it's because she was a stray and afraid to make noise.  If your kitty is meowing (even in pain) probably she's extra comfortable with you.  ...

thank you.  Amloiapine is what my mother-in-law is on.  Funny.  I will call the vet and ask about blood pressure and the medicine.  So, this is unlikely to have anything to do with the ear mite medicine?  I was sort of hoping it was, and it would go away. One other thing about this cat - she...

We have an older cat, Noodle, who recently went to the vet for shot and ear mite medicine.  Recently being just over a week ago.  I have no idea what the ear mite stuff was, but the rest was just regular shots and a worm pill (drontal?).  Yesterday, my son noticed that she's been batting at...

Thanks!  I think I have 'sucker' tattooed somewhere that only neighborhood cats can see.  Kittens are pretty much weaned, as far as I can tell.  Two of the kittens are going to a good home.  The rest seem to be staying with us.  I'm going to make the appointments before thanksgiving.  The local...

Next question... will mama cat be less aggressive after being fixed?  She's terrorized our original 4.

What shots do these cats need?  Will the mama need different shots than the kittens?  I'm trying to price everything out.

Thank you all.  and thanks to moderators for moving this to the right forum.  It sure is interesting.  We are keeping mama and kittens in the guest room for now, but letting them out here and there.  The other four tend to either hide in the basement or go outside when mama and kittens are out...

I don't know if this is the place to post this, but I will try.  Long story made short:  We live in the country.  Jerks drop cats off.  They come to us and we are suckers.  Last summer we were down to four indoor-outdoor cats when a female showed up.  Pregnant, of course.  She had six kittens on...

So, this is an odd request.  My friend is adopting two of the kittens, but her husband is having serious surgery around the time they would be ready to be adopted.  Long story short, we will keep the kittens until whenever, but we would like to skype with their family (two young kids) and the...
