The kittens are doing okay today all except one. She just doesn’t seem to interested in eating today although I did get her to swallow a few syringes of baby food. It could be she is full of dry food as I leave kitten chow down most of the day for them. That is the hope anyway- I will just keep my eye out as she is to young to be vaccinated right now.

Tomorrow, Mike starts the radiation treatment. I wish I could switch places with him but since women don’t have prostates, I guess that won’t happen. “They” say that he will be okay for the first five treatments and then he will get hit with a mighty wave of fatigue and possible side effects (none of which are good.) He will have between 48-54 treatments and my heart aches for him as he has been through so much already.

We have a new kitty outside, he is of course a tomcat and totally drop-dead gorgeous yellow kitty- really light orange and what looks like yellow stripes- never seen anything quite like him before although he could have some sort of stained coat I suppose. I put him about 2 years old and he showed up last night, skin and bones and starving. I was able to feed him and pet him briefly before he vanished under the house. I am hoping he will come back and I can catch him and put him in the large cage and get him to the vet. Other than being skinny he looks healthy as far as no discharge from the nose and eyes. He scared me last night when he appeared in the moonlight- I thought at first he was a fox!

Well, Toad is crying at me feet, it is dinner time for the critters. Any one want to stop by and help me scoop litter pans? I would welcome the help!!
