ohh Hippie
they are darling....and you will surelly have your hands full..in a good way

They are cuties. I love them at this age.

Very cute kittens Hippie!

I thought it was going to be the surprised kitten from 'know your memes'

Anyway here it is again

God's angels are smiling at you, surrounding you with love, thank you precious girl, the dear, sweet innocents pets.

Your a mummy again, what a treasure you are for the sweet little pets. xxxooo

Puuur

Cute little kittys Hippy!

How are those little babies, I bet their orphans or were just dropped somewhere to starve, poor little mites; and you did save them.

They have only been here a little while but at least their in good mummy hands. again.

May the angels wings cover and protect you from dawn to dusk and all through the night.

aw biggz, your spirit is here with these little ones, i felt it
the moment i saw them little eyes lookin at me from under the front steps
and heard their little mews - we had been posting on the threads
about love and confusion and had posted some animal vids ...
***
i was just falling asleep, a little more than a week ago, when i
heard meows outside, under my open window ... they did not sound like
grown up kitties, i was prompted to haul my old lady butt outta bed
and have a look ... on my way out the door, i did not turn on any
lights and stepped out quietly ...
***
and i saw it in the moonlight, a baby kitty crying its little heart out ...
so i scooped it up, it fit inside my hand, and i turned to go back inside ...
and as i moved toward the door, i spotted movement from the
corner of my eye and turned to see another one ... so i scooped it up
too, pulled the bottom of my t-shirt up and around them, making a little
kitty pouch, came into the house, and inched my way down the dark
hall toward sis room ....
***
"sissssssssssssss," i called, "wake up" and she responded with a grouchy
"what?" i told her what was happening and she got up and we
went into my room, closed the door against the dogs (who were
EXTREMELY interested) and opened my shirt to let the little ones
tumble out ... there was a little tiger striped one with only half a tail
which we called bob right away - and the other was a creamy siamese
looking kitty who was dubbed moonglow - their eyes were half closed
and they had teeth, i estimated they were about 4 weeks old
***
i found a box for them to sleep in and put an old pair of sweatpants
in the bottom, we tried to get some milk into them, but it wasn't working
so we tore our art boxes apart, sure tht one of us had an eyedropper
but when we found one and tried to use it the rubbery top had lost its
qualities in this desert heat and would not suck up the milk into the
little tube ... so we did the best we could with letting them suck drops off
our fingers and we all went to sleep
***
the next day, i went over to J&B's house to cook them dinner (that's
my new gig, hey!, i am now a private chef!) and what do you think
i saw on their kitchen counter? a perfectly functioning eye dropper ...
i asked to borrow it, it was given to me - how can such a small thing
make me so happy? it did, though, and i took it home ...
***
as i was approaching the front door, i looked down to see one more set
of kitty eyes looking at me - omg, another one - and i reached under and
scooped it up and brought it in to its littermates - this one was tiger striped,
too, but fluffier than the other two and it was named face immediately
***
for the first week, we fed them with the eyedropper - and played with
them often and put them to sleep in the box - now, almost two weeks
later, they are drinking from a plate, eating soft food from a dish and
they sleep in the closet on a pile of dirty laundry
***
remember the kitties i told you were under the house and looked like the
mister kitty i had left with my son ... i know now that the female was pregnant
and these 3 were her newest babies - what i do not know is why she pushed
them out of the "nest" so soon - here in the desert, they would be coyote bait
or crow food - remember i told you about experiencing a loose dog killing
one of the first batch? neither one of us was gonna let that happen to these new babies
***
this experience has been almost mystical - sis says she was trying to
manifest some love in my life ... she thought she meant the human sort,
but wasn't specific, so the universe sent me baby kitties and i loved them
right from the start ... the eyedropper synchronicity was a sign for me ...
***
and mz biggz, your love for critters inspired me, and i did what i knew you would do,
without a second thought, and i did it on a conscious level, smiling at you from my heart when i made the choice
***
bob and moonglow and face thank you, mz biggz, as do i, for being you

ah Hippie
that is soooooo warm and cozy...those kitties sure knew where to be left
do you have any idea what happen to mama cat...?

i hope you know where you can get the nuetered cause if they are females you will be having a cat farm if you don't..lol
i contacted the local aspca ..they have a program for feral cats...your's will be tame but still..they should do it a cheaply or free
but you have to ask..they don't tell you that

i had the three in the barn nuetered cause i can only afford to feed so many...and it was really hard to deal with 13 kittens
because i mis-timed the nuetering...

i hope you'll keep us in the loop with more pics as they grow
oh and i have found if you go slow and introduce the kittens to the doggies and not let them play rough that they all get along just fine

i'ma still smilin at them little fuzzy ones

ok, lil otter, here is the rest of the family news: mama cat
is still living under house, she comes out most of the day, she
sits on the front steps later in day, waiting for food and water ...
like i said, i do not know why she "let" these go too soon ...
after i first broughtem in the house, i listened for days for her
to be looking for them, calling for them, and at that point i
might have given them back, but she didn't ...
***
papa cat comes around to eat when the others are mostly done ....
***
one of the three in the first litter is still with us, the original
siamese looking one ...
***
the second of the three is the one sis saw get killed by the dog ...
***
the third one - sigh - became separated from us yesterday -
sis went into town last night, and she took the gigabyte with her ...
halfway to town, she noticed that third adolescent in the car with them!
before she could decide how to handle, with the dog-and-wild cat situation,
she pulled to the side of the road but the cat went out and onto her hood
and then jumped off and scooted away
***
so under the house and living feral-style are mama, papa and one
teenager ... they come for food, don't run from us anymore, but
will not let us touch them and they hiss a lot - we have discussed
getting a humane trap to takem in and fixem, but have not found one
yet ...
***
the three new babies: i have a friend here who is taking moonglow ...
that leaves me face and bob (bob is a female, but still bob) - i do
think i can find homes for them, once i take them in to the post but
i am waiting for them to be around 6 weeks first - they are using a poopy
box and like i mentioned before, have started on solid food .......
***
one day at a time.......

hey, zuni, want a little kitty?!!!!!?!

Hippie

i borrowed the boro's have a heart cages and fed them in there for weeks before getting them fixed..

mine are still feral but wait for me every morning to take breakfast to them..
the mama cat i think was someone's pet and i can pet her when i put food in the dish..but that's the only time
the two offspring will come close when i put food in the pan but run if it looks like i want to touch them...sigh

anyway.. there was no way i could have 3 breeding female cats...you run outta friends real quick like..
if you have any city council type thing..check them out they may have traps you can borrow or know where you can
get some...
sounds like you have a nice little cat herd going there..lol..and nice that mama cat let you hand feed the babies..maybe she didn't
have enough milk for them or knew you needed to cuddle purring fur...

wish i could take one but i have 5 now and that's my limit...

cool !!!!!

Hippie, Sky and Zuni, your blood's worth bottling as they say down here.

As soon as I get me butt into a place and get settled I will try and get my pets I had to leave behind, I will try real hard, but if I can't it is off to the shelter for me.

You hippie have a lot of good thoughts, love coming your way.

You are staying in biggs heart forever precious girl.

this place? everybody is on their own - there is no city council,
no police, no stoplights!

we have a library and volunteer fire department, 2 gas stations
one old rte 66 motel, one tiny grocery store - that's about it

there are no doctors or clinics, no fast food joints, no public transportation
of any kind ...

i figure i am here as caretaker, and when i go, everything i found here,
stays here - well, except for "face", i am afraid i am hooked
on that lil one .... and i will take the two new ones to be fixed when
there is a cost effective clinic in the town about 30 miles away ...
they come around once a month there ...

i am afraid so far to lettem sleep with me, cuz they so little
if i rolled over on one, it would be bye bye kitty!
and moonglow, the creamy one, is the one that has a home
already, i just waiting one more week til they approx. 6 weeks old...

hey, bob has ALL the personality, maybe cuz she only has half a tail,
so think about that, does fed ex ship kitties?

i would love to give bob a home......... however she d need a passport....lol.... cause we are about to take another trip soon..... she can be miss kitty international.......


when i rescude my 2 kitties in spain they were tiny too....but i let them sleep with me........the trick so you don t roll on them is to let them sleep on / around your neck and head / face.....i am sure they d absolutly love to sleep in your looong hair !!! your head doesn t way more then the birth mother so you won t squish them.......

i loved them sleeping with me.....so soft and cuddly........

i still miss those cats like crazy.......

awe...i love when cats do that to me !!!!

the 3 kitties now have round furry bellies and are probably
about 7 weeks old now ... still photos do not do the justice -
i need to video them
***
they purr, they play and they are being introduced to the big dogs slowly ...

awe..... we want a video !!!

Ah I bet those beautiful little kitties will be friends with the puppy furry friends real quick hippie. You did an awesome mother job there, cool beans girl.

we want a video.......we want a video.......we want a video.......we want a video.......we want a video.......we want a video.......we want a video.......we want a video.......

i will try, zuni, i gotta hurry while they are still little ...
i think my camera has vid mode, about 10 minutes worth,
then i need to get it off the camera and i may have to wait
until i go to san francisco to visit my son, where i can try to
find the power cord i need ..... it's on my list:

* laptop power cord
* get boots re-soled for winter
* tattoo!
* fill box at trader joe's to bring back
