The story began on 5/21/05 when my foster cat Sugartoes gave birth to 5 beautiful kittens. The details are here:http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...ight=sugartoes
Here is an early picture. She has been a remarkable Mommy, caring for her kittens carefully. Once when I was holding a kitten, instead of putting it down when it cried, she snatched it right out of my hand and put it back in the nest!
Here is Hershey Kiss at 2 days old (taken on my phone so kinda blurry)!
On day 3 the little black baby (B.B.) was found dead. Then at 6 weeks, Zero died! She was so fluffy and loving. She was already promised to a friend!
Yesterday Hershey Kiss, the brown tiger girl died! Here's a pic of her with the orange boy (Twinkie) at 3 weeks.
Here they are at 5 weeks, with Twinkie on top!
Again at 5 weeks, with Kiss on top of the other girl, a gorgeous Tortie named Smartie.
I just love having these babies here at home, but feel like a millionaire who lost most of his money. I don't know why, but lots of loving pets makes me feel rich. And although I still have many precious pets, the loss of the last two apparently healthy kittens has hit me kind of hard! I'm feeling a little poor!
But the great news is that the surviving two kittens, Twinkie and Smartie, have been checked by the vet today. They do not have distemper or FeLV. They are healthy. They even got their first shots today, as did Momma Sugartoes.
Here's a pic of her resting in the open window, dreaming of the days when she got to run free (and repeatedly get pregnant!).
Here is Smartie at 5 weeks, hiding behind the cat cage.
She looks a little like her Mom! I don't have many good pics of Smartie. She has plenty of "tortitude" already!
Thanks for listening. I feel much better knowing my litter doesn't have anything contagious!
