So much for the fostering break...

Awwwwwww, Princess Persiphone (excuse my ignorance, but I've never heard that name before, is it from a movie or book?)

You're such a blessing to her and to her kittens. . . . and about the kittens, will you be . . . adding any to your family? hehe

Fostering the older cats during kitten season is so very important (the kittens too, of course), but for the elders, like my Chief Joseph who just made it and Squint, even as a kitten, but with many medical issues - you are a true blessing to Persiphone! She's beautiful.

(lol, I want to know where the name Perciphone comes from now!)

Warmly,

Persephone is gorgeous. You are a wonderful woman for doing all this. Keep us updated on kitten watch.

Naps With Cats, Persephone was a goddess taken to the underworld by Hades.

Yipes!!

Per Wikipedia: :In Greek mythology, Persephone ( /pərˈsɛfəniː/) in modern English—also called Kore) is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest goddess Demeter, and queen of the underworld; she was abducted from her mother by Hades.

The myth of her rape represents her function as the personification of vegetation which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest; hence she is also associated with spring and with the seeds of the fruits of the fields. Persephone as a vegetation goddess (Kore) and her mother Demeter were the central figures of the Eleusinian mysteries that predated the Olympian pantheon. In the Linear B (Mycenean Greek) tablets dated 1400-1200 BC found at Pylos, the "two mistresses and the king" are mentioned; John Chadwick identifies these as Demeter, Persephone and Poseidon.

In Classical Greek art, Persephone is invariably portrayed robed. She may be carrying a sheaf of grain; in Latin, she is called Proserpina."

And NO! No more adding to the family. I want to be able to continue to foster, and I can't do that if I keep adopting them myself.

She's really gorgeous

Whew! Thanks for the further description.

(It's weird, but I only know phonics in Brasilian Portuguese (I was teaching my ex-boyfriendd's kids in Brasil to speak English, but never got a grip on English phonics. Weird. Me. I'm weird!)

Warmly,

Julie O'

No worries hun, not weird at all!

Wow, Persephone is SUCH a doll... She really loves attention, and will give these little meows if I stop. She REALLY loves Dana, and follows him around like a lost puppy if he's in the foster room. It's really cute, but it drives Dana nuts because he tries really hard not to get attached to fosters.

She's eatting well and seems to be in great health which I'm thankful for. Hopefully we got her out of the shelter in time so that she, along with her kittens, don't develop the URI that runs so rampant there.

Oh Kailie, you can't fight your calling!

She is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no URI!

Oh, and yeah, my heart bleeds for Dana, poor thing getting followed around like that!

She's beautiful!! You have such a huge heart for helping all of these kitties!
Any idea when she's due? You can definatly see her big baby bump!
Keep us upadted on how she's doing!

I am now thinking she's further along than I originally thought as I was watching the kittens move around like crazy in her belly last night. So I would say we should see kittens within the week! I absolutely LOVE being on kitten watch!

WOW she is beautiful!!!

And what a lucky cat to have found her way into your home. Kitten watch would be so exciting!!

Just look at how she looks at you! She loves you!!

I envy the fun you are going to have with the kittens. There is nothing like getting on the floor and be covered in kittens!

Just accept it.....this is your mission in life. You guys have great hearts!!

That's so exciting! It's so funny to see the little ones having a party in their mommy's tummy!
My guess isssss:
3 babies on March 23

Aww, look at those toes!! :gre enpaw: And that face!

I know you didn't want to help the people at the rescue, but it's very good of you to somehow get past that and still help the kitties.

Oh yeah, and I'm so sorry Dana has a new best friend... poor guy.

She is so pretty!
I predict 5 kitties.

I personally think 3 kittens, but Dana is predicting 5. I don't think she'll last until the 23rd though. I'm going to predict the 19th, next Saturday.
