I was just in a pet chat room talking about the feral kittens I just took in and cats in general.I was telling them how I picked up one of the ferals today to clean her eyes with a washcloth, and held her in my lap and once she calmed down, she stayed willingly for a good 10 minutes and was purring up a storm while I pet her! I am so excited by this but this one woman called me a liar and said its highly unlikely a feral would do that
Then I explained to her that I know they are feral cause I found out the woman across the street has been feeding the momma and she said this is the mommas third litter! (why she never did anything to help the kittens or fix the momma is a whole other story that pisses me off to no end ...I WILL be trapping momma and fixing her as soon as I am able) So the woman in chat calls me a bitch and tells me I am terrible for taking the kittens from their momma!!!!!!!
and that if it were her, she would have figured out a way to keep them sheltered, fed and together. I feel guilty enough that I couldnt take the momma in ...she is very skittish and I will need a trap to get her, not to mention with all the other kitties in this house, I just dont have a place for her. And wouldnt having her with the kittens hamper my being able to tame them? The small bathroom is ok for four kittens, but momma in there too would have been too much. The woman across the street says she has a shed the mommas been staying in and I am making sure momma eats every day. (I dont think the woman feeds momma well enough cause she wants her to be a mouser
) I cant believe someone would call me a bitch for doing what Im doing. Momma may have to stay an outside kitty the rest of her life, but these kittens where young enough that I figured they had a chance at a better life. Was I wrong? Im just trying to do the right thing here ..maybe even getting a little obsessed about it ..Im an at home mom on disability with a very hard working loving man, when everyones at school or work, these kitties are all I really have (god Im sad...lol) But it gives me something worthwile to do and makes me feel good. If I shouldnt have taken the kittens in and left them out in a snow storm just so they can stay with momma, Id sure like to know so I can straighten my dumbass out. Thanks for letting me
