If you were reading/posting about 9 months ago, you might have read about the tiny kitty I acquired. My friend found the little one-day-old baby and gave it to me the next day. I came here for advice on how to take care of her. She did not poop for 5 days, so I took her to the vet for an enema. Let me tell you, she was one spoiled-rotten little kitten! She has been somewhat delayed in her physical development, but otherwise is fantastic! I named her Winkie. She had her first heat over Christmas, so I had her spayed last week. She doesn't meow much; she only cries if I leave the house or if she can't find me. Sometimes she kind of warbles, kind of like a pigeon sound. She loves to taunt our older cat, Charlotte. She lives for this.
Winkie also likes our bird, Cookie, a maroon-bellied conure. Cookie is the boss, though, since she is the oldest animal in the house at 10 years. When Cookie sees Winkie in her room, she runs down her ladder, head-first, to the floor and chases Winkie. Winkie wants to "get" that bird, but she's too afraid. The bird waves her wings and opens her mouth and lunges at the cat. Winkie runs away and hides. On her way back to the ladder, Cookie laughs her head off! It's so funny.
Winkie is smaller than most cats. I guess she weighs about 4 or 5 pounds and is pretty much full grown now. I also think she never lost one baby tooth, nor has any "adult" teeth. Is that weird or what?
I just wanted to check in and say hello! Winkie did just great! You can see her photo album here: http://groups.msn.com/HopeEgglestons...pgmarket=en-us
Just choose Pictures, then Winkie.
