After a few days here, I did manage to get the rest of my kittens out of foster care and they are now here with us. There are two of the meth babies Drew (way underweight for his age) and Digit his brother. Also in the mix are two gray babies: Pickett and Skya and one marble tabby – Pogey. Skya is a beautiful dilute gray with calico highlights- her bronter Pickett is a mack tabby dilute and Pogey is a marbled mack tabby with beautiful eyes and underdeveloped testicles. He likely won’t be neutered for quite awhile unless the second testicle drops soon.

They will be here until their neuter and then hopefully off to forever loving homes.

Grumpy Gretel is still grumpy but her high fevers are finally behind her. All that is left is for her to dry up on her milk and gain some weight. Although she is eating like a little piglet she has stayed steady at 7 pounds which is worrisome. She has been dewormed twice now- another concern is the amount of urine this girl is pumping out on a daily basis and it has been discovered she has a heart murmur that is pretty substantial.  I really want to bring her into the house, but I know that won’t work because once she hears the kittens crying in the bedroom she isn’t going to dry up and it will compound her problems. I feel mean, but she is staying by herself inside the deck enclosure.

Molly doesn’t like the kittens and she won’t sleep with me any longer which makes me sad. I hope when they move on to new homes- there will be a reclaiming of my bed on Molly’s part. Time will tell I guess.
