She is done for with these kittens. Although still endowed with plenty of milk- last night, she threw up her paws and looked at me and said with her eyes: “I surrender!” Then she turned and hissed at her family, swiped at a couple of them. Her new home is above theirs in a comfy 4’x4′ cage we custom made for her on the fly, Thanks to George!
So now, I am the go-for girl. The bottle feeder, the stimulator, the cuddler. I just wish there weren’t so many of them! LOL I made a big batch of kitten glop and we are good to go. Some of them are using the litterpan now (mom showed them how) but there are others who need assistance.
I’m hopefully going to take Jetta in this morning to have Steve take a look at her and tell me what if anything we might be /*ac77 (that is the queen herself walking across my keyboard) “You talkin about me Mom?” I would like to know what we are facing with her mouth being so odd. She is sitting in my lap trying to get behind my computer (off limits to all cats) I’m also going to have to bring Kiab in to be spayed. One of her nipples has gotten a whole lot bigger in 24 hours. Maybe her bare nipples means that she is pregnant and not that she has babies already somewhere. Hard to say. It’s going to be a busy morning here. I will update about the vet visit when I am able to.
Too bad about Aurora. But she did a lot for those babies. Maybe she’s miffed with having extra. That means more work for you, though.
Maybe just a wee bit of rest and she’ll be willing to jump back into the saddle
That is exactly what this amazing kitten has done. I put a litter pan (full of litter) over the hole between the two cages. Last night, she moved the pan found the hole and is back with her kittens! I am supplementing them with formula and baby food but she is back at it- caring for all of them. She only has 5 viable nipples right now! I love this kitty- she is my hero.
Awesome Aurora! What a great kitty!
