White Girl Settled in with Kittens

I got White Girl settled in with her kittens, for now, in a rabbit hutch in my bedroom. She seems to think that's ok, and the kittens sure do. They slept next to the trap last night in my bathroom, huddled next to mom, only trap mesh seperating them. Mom eats anything I give her. I've been bottle feeding them KMR, which they love. And their bowels and bladders still need external stimulation (fake licking) to work. Mom is recovering well, already eating and drinking and already seems to see better, following the surgery done on the van on her eyes, by volunteer vet Dr. Reid.

I had been trying to get ahold of the Cottonwood folks to get their last male done. When I got ahold of them today, they said they had found kittens, three of them. I asked if they were the kittens of the Siamese? She had been pregnant at spay and they thought she had abandoned her kittens. They think these are the Siamese's kittens, who in fact, did just fine. A friend of theirs was able to grab one and took that one home. The other two are being coaxed out from under the deck and cajoled and talked to by the foster kids, who are intent on helping them.

I will go out this evening and see if I can get ahold of Socks, Mr. Boy out there, and catch those two kittens. The last unfixed adult out at the Hill People colony, the female, mother of the three kittens, also will be fixed tomorrow.

As for anybody else for tomorrow, not sure, am tired.

I need to do something about the feral female with four newbie kittens out on Conser too.

The elderly black long hair manx, who is being cared for by the people out there who found her, is doing great and warming up fast, taking her antibiotics and pain meds mixed into Recovery Diet, a smelly canned cat food put out by Royal Canin.

I didn't believe the tech out at Countryside, when he said a cat will even eat clindimycin mixed into Recovery Diet. I was objecting to that particular antibiotic for a shy cat due to the difficulty in getting a cat to take it. It tastes horrible!

But boy, do they ever gobble it mixed into Recovery Diet. It is an excellent product. The couple said that not only did the old gal gobble hers, laced with the not very good tasting antibiotic, but all their own cats lined up at the door yowling, when she merely opened the can. I wonder what is in that stuff and boy, wouldn't that make great trap bait?
