Got a new batch of six kittens. For the first time, they had a mother. However, she is feral so they couldn’t keep her. Very hard to adopt feral cats. Once she was done feeding them, I got them. New experience, very strange.
We finally got a batch with more boys than girls, so I can use the naming theme I’ve wanted to use since I started! We now have an Amy, Leela, Fry, Farnsworth, Kif and Zapp. I tried to circle them around the two girls, because one is dark, the other is black and white, and there are three in each category. Split down the middle!
This is coming right off a batch of 4, so it’s a lot right now. In fact, I still have the smallest of the previous batch so I could get her to a normal weight. So many cats!
Ahh, okay. The way I read it, it sounded like they had been separated from mom just because she’s feral, but if she’s not feeding them, it doesn’t sound like keeping them together is a good plan.
Aww, poor little guy! Hope you’re doing alright. I know it can be real tough to lose them.
I hate that I can say this, but it gets easier each time. I’m good now. Sigh.
Nah, I totally get it. I’ve only lost one so far, but that was enough for me to realize that I can handle the loss, maybe too well.
Did I block you? I was trying to back up and hit the wrong thing 😭
I hope not! Haha. From my understanding of how blocking someone works here, you won’t see this if you’ve blocked me, but I’ll still see anything you’ve posted.
Now that we got that fixed, four of them died one right after the other, yesterday. We have one left. She’s very sick, but not fading. This group had so many issues. I’ve never lost so many and it’s doing my mental health in.
I stayed up all night with her to make her eat a little bit every 30 minutes or so depending if she was sleeping. She’s lost a lot of weight but we are giving her everything we safely can to help her fight.
