They are driving me batty! 8 felines and two dogs in one house is making me crazy.
Over the weekend I fed the kittens their canned food and all of them began taking to it and stuffed themselves. (One 3oz can between five kittens and mom having a little too) Then about 20 minutes later Sammy threw up and had diarrhea. Angie got him and cleaned him up and he threw up again while she was washing him. After that she nursed him to sleep and when he woke up he was his happy little self again. Our plan was to take him to the vet the next morning if he didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem better but he did. He has eaten solid food again since then and done just fine and has also had a firm poopy. I am wondering if we should still take him in or if it may have just been his little tummy acting up because it was his first solid food.
Now they are also starting to “growl†and bite at each other during their meals. sigh
Also Mr. Whisker scared the tar out of me last night. All of the kittens were wondering around playing in the living room and my fiancÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] was supposed to watch them while I took a shower. (he fell asleep)
Well when I came out I heard a kitten making choking noises. Apparently he got a hold of a dog kibble that had fallen out of our puppyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s crate when she ate her dinner. She is a very messy eater. Anyway the kibbles are huge compared to him and he tried to swallow it whole and was choking.
I started panicking and trying to rub his throat a little bit which didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t work and his mouth was too tiny to get it out. The only thing that I could think to do was blow the kibble down his throat. Maybe not the best choice but I remembered my dad telling a story of saving a choking puppy that way a long time ago. It seemed to work but I think it traumatized the poor fella because he hissed at me right afterwards. I was worried for a while that I had hurt him but he is doing fine. Sigh
But then they go and do something totally cute and I forgive all the craziness. I found them all in my laundry basket earlier curled up in one big kitty pile sleeping away with little chubby tummyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s showing. I have a picture that I will post later on… my camera is being a stinker at the moment. sigh
