Marblecake has four four-week-old kittens. Like the previous lot,
none of them look like Splodge could be the father: Ollie (pale ginger stripey male), Pip (tuxedo male), Polly (grey-and-white stripey female with a regular red/white/black tabby head) and Courtney (a bizarre in-between tabby/tortie, like she's wearing camo fatigues with orange stripey stockings and white underwear). Pip is the only fully shorthaired one, the others all have some longish guard hair (is that what you call it?) but aren't properly long-haired, whereas Splodge is. And none of them have his stumpy legs or Persian face. Doesn't stop them treating Splodge as Daddy, though. After first trying him out as a milk bar they figured out that wasn't going to work. So Courtney has been trying a different tack. She just went up to him and tried to wash his chin, whereupon he groomed her ears for a bit. Then she rolled over on her back beside him showing off her tummy and purring (I didn't know kittens could purr that young). Splodge seems besotted. If she was human she'd have got Daddy to buy her a pink iPod by now. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

I have four CP foster kittens here with their mum at the moment - born in a back garden, though mum is extremely friendly, a young tabby girl. She has 3 tabby and one black kitten. They are a little timid and hissy but becoming better every day, and all have already got homes waiting for them - the mum with her two sons to one, and the two tabby girls to another. It is good to be fostering again, after a long absence for various reasons.

And I'd do it in a heartbeat, but it just wouldn't go over well at my place. Plus I really feel that three is enough! Joyce |

Pics are posted in the other thread, with KFW! :-) Eshne is a very good mum, and I am lucky to now have a spare room where they can all be, away from my own 4 and Daisy-dog. It's not possible in all situations to think of fostering, I understand!

Oh, I guess one mom with kittens would be okay, but I took two moms, each with one kitten about 3 weeks old. Apparently hormones rage in post-partum cat mothers, just like humans. They were horrible. We called them the Unwed Mothers from Hell. But, OTOH, it's the *perfect* way to enjoy kittens, without the longterm responsibility of owning them. Sherry |
