Hey Gang?

I'm glad that shredder is back & that he brought home a friend . Try to post some pics of the kittens! About how many cats do you have now, hissy?

I'm glad your kitty came home. Thats amazing that he brought back a friend in need. Cats always know when someone is there to help them. Let us know when the babies arive! I think spook is a good name for the new mom. (hint hint...Spooky.)

safron, right now I have hmmmm doing a count....dunkin, trip, shredder, kabota, stryker, cleo, kabota, karma, barty, bailey, 3 ferals in the hay barn, caspia the one feral mom, and spook upstairs. casp had 5 kittens and in about a week spook should have hers.

wow hissy, it sounds like you have your hands full ! The more the merrier . I'm glad that spook is settling in, has your hubby come around yet? Matt is the same way, "no more animals" but he is a pushover just like me.

Whew! What a thread!

I've been gone a few days, and read the first post and was so scared (I just love that Mr Shredder...still trying to get his shipped to me!) that I skipped to the end first to make sure he was back. Then I read the whole thing so it made sense!!

What a sweetheart! I can't believe he went and got her. He took her to love and safety. Hope Panda is okay!

She is not completely feral, but she is definitely not someone else's cats, although pregnant she is in piss-poor shape

First of all, I don't know anything about pregnant female cats because I've never owned one. But I was just wondering, is it possible Spook was only recently abandoned when a previous owner suspected she was pregnant????

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Not a dumb question, but she has probably not been handled for quite awhile- at least 4 months or so, because of the degree of wildness in her. She has stopped scampering from room to room when I do go up there, but she still hides behind whatever she can find. She is not a spitting hissing feral like some I have had to deal with, but she is definitely giving off the vibes that if you touch me you might be sorry. lol

To many times, people will throw their pregnant cats outdoors or take them out to the woods and just dump them. We have woods behind our home and that is probably where she came from. She has been living on her wits for so long now.

Already today I have had to turn down another pregnant siamese mix and a little tabby cat that is probably 3 years old. I just can't save them all though God, I wish I could!

Hissy....just read this! So glad Shredder came home, and with a girlfriend to boot!

Thanks Debby! I just touched her nose.....she wasn't thrilled but I still have all my fingers!

Awwww Great job!

There MUST be a way to get a kitten or two of hers from Oregon to Nova Scotia

I like Ali McClaw too!

And I am convinced that my cats communicate complicated ideas to each other. You know how when one comes in from outside and the others have to come over and sniff and touch whiskers? I think they are telepathically telling each other what happened while they were out . . .

Well her official name is McKenzie, and I picked her up tonight and she didn't seem to mind much.

Yeah, I found that in another thread after I posted here.

Hissy, I love that name. Can you guess how far along she is?

I'd say we have less than a week till kittens. McKenzie is eating and drinking well, her use of the litterbox? Well, it needs improvement. Right now, she prefers the couch. Thank God it is an old couch and has broke in many a cat. She has found a place to nest in one of the cabinets that line the stairs to the second floor. There is a narrow opening off the back that when she feels threatened, she can easily just escape through. I took pics of her this morning, will post them as soon as I get them developed.

Caspia came this morning for the morning feed, and I was able to touch her nose! But then she backed away so I let her be. I watched from the window and she left the same way she came and ducked under the neighbor's porch.
