one more kitten

What a morning, i got up and found/unearthed a cage to put growler into, i cannot stand keeping them in traps. so since i had an old chinchilla/rabbit cage that i was getting ready to toss, i instead cleaned it up and used a lot of duct tape to secure it. then i had the joy of getting him out of the trap watching for where he ran to hide and caught him up in a towel. since i had the opportunity i clipped nails and gave him his antibiotics straight. he is looking good as soon as i put him in his new home he went immediately for the food dish. then to remind me he is a bad-ass he commenced with his meow growl again laced with hisses.

I want to be able to let Helios and Dandylion play in the room but i cannot until they are all done with their meds.

when i got home from work i saw Ma Mere, so i set the trap for her and guess what i got another kitten which looks exactly like Growler. probably a sibling as they look the same age. so now i need to set up another cage this one unfortunately will be outside it a good thing we are having mild weather and that this kitten is used to it. if i can socialize these hopefully i can adopt them out and not have to release them to the colony. i live way to close to a freeway with a very busy intersection.

and it never ends

i have been wondering where Ma Mere has been...
i have her babies and i do want to catch this trap savvy feline.
well she showed up tonight hungry, her belly is starting to bulge and my larger trap is in use as an incubator.
...........i really do need to invest in more traps and the two squirrel traps i have borrowed are now too small for the street kittens. they are set and waiting but i doubt i will catch the current babies that are at least 3 months old now...............
This little Siamese girl is reminding me of Bettie it took over a year to finally catch her and get her spayed she had 2 litters of which i still have some as stated in earlier posts.

So i set out food to keep her coming by and i made up some milk for all the street kitties to sip and that i hope to catch.

i look around to see the house meows sleeping on my bed with their gentle snores.
i watch as Oliver antagonizes Mikael and Kinji, i really do need to find him a new home he is such a love. it is getting cold around here and the kitties are letting me know, wanting to be in the few heated rooms as night falls. and patiently waiting for me to wake up so i will play with them making the Da Bird fly high for them to chase and stalk.

i don't think i can walk away from these cats now that i have started down this path, i do not have the funds to do this on my own but i have help. and one day i will get the sanctuary started and i will take as many of these cats as i can to it so they are no longer car fodder or chased by the dogs that roam the streets.
i wonder how many of the kittens are female and will continue the cycle if they are not caught and manage to survive.
off to check the trap and get some sleep

Sad news

I heard that Lil Mz Belly was killed yesterday. her chip # matched the cat found in the street. i also found a siamese kitten, also HBC. the kitten probably was MiniFig's as Belly's babies would only be about 12 wks old now.

i have potential interest in Ma Mere's babies i will miss Dandelion she is so adorable. such a little princess wanting to be hand fed whil lounging in the hammock. her eyes get more gold every day.

a new boy

This little boy is doing much better after spending a full day in a make-shift incubator. he is enjoying the steam and lays in the fullest part of it. of course he is in my only large trap right now which limits further trapping. i still have the two squirrel traps but where to put these new kittens.

i have not seen the kittens since the high winds we had a few nights back, nor have i seen Ma Mere i know that we have lost at least one kitten to a car. she was found in the road this morning, she was probably 5 months old and a pretty Siamese most likely Mysts sister. I have not seen Ma Mere since i caught Helios so she is probably laying low as she does not need as much food and the others are getting more aggressive in their needs.
as to Ma Mere's two kittens Helios was allowed to roam in the room so he was trying to see how many hiding spots he could find that i would not find him in, and Dandylion is turning into a little princess she does not leave the hammock and loves to be fed by hand and get her belly rubbed.

a day at the beach

today was a day with my Moi, she is so sweet just the best of all temperaments. i don't think i could ever part with her. this little girl was born in my bird room after i caught her mother Bettie. i had been trying to get her spayed and had caught her again but she looked like the babies were already born. they had just shifted in readiness so while i was searching the litter was born on March 7 07, her sister Kathleen was adopted her brother Patrick disappeared.



Today we went to the beach. it was a lovely day not very windy the surf was gorgeous. Best of all not to many people and no dogs.

Today also starts the costume contest for the Black Cat lovers group on Ravelry so of course i had to enter my Moira

Moira as a Sea Kitten. I think she makes a rather tasty mermaid

LuLu being bad

My darling Lusitania at 4 months old.
a very mischievious kitten who found her way between the lining and the silk of a curtain

she had a lot of fun and so did i

look at that face how could you be mad

after all the silk was not supposed to be curtains it was bought for a wedding dress that never happened

Angels come in all designs and she is one

she is now 4 and just as sassy.

i do have other pictures of her being bad but i will share those later.

as per request i found the photoshoot of LuLu being bad.

i had not had her very long when this happened.

Caught a ray of Sunshine

Tonight i caught Dandelions brother. He is a fat little flame point Siamese looking kitten, yes the fat is most likely worms in the belly bat that will soon be taken care of.

this little boy will be rather good lucking after he gets a bath. this picture was taken while i was teaching him to stop hissing.

i have always wanted a Flame and now that i have caught one i have to put him up for adoption as too many kitties live here already! mine and some street kitties that decided to stay. now if i can catch Ma Mere i will be happy. she is the last adult fem that i am aware of. but also i need to catch Belly's babies and i think Mini Fig might still have one out there.

I have to be careful trapping as the Raccoons are coming back now that it is getting cooler. my pond was hit hard last night. i did not see my frogs at all this morning.

soon i get to take Dandelion to the vet to get her on some antibiotics and hopefully wormed. i will try to sneak Sunflower in on the same ticket. i just don't want to pay for 2 office visits for the same thing and i hate that if you take in multiple for the discount you get the discount on one of the kitties you bring in but get a full charge for each additional cat. so to what purpose is the discount?
