Did I come out like an irresponsible person to you?
I have 4 cats, 3 spayed, 1 pregnant. They grew up here, in love, caresses and good care. They have good first quality food that I buy at my vet, they have nice big litter boxes that I clean once or twice a day. I can't sleep if one of them isn't in the house at night. Those cats are my babies, my family. Be absolutely certain that I would NEVER mistreat a cat or any other creature for that matter. Those kittens are a choice that I made after making sure mommy cat was in good health and good shape. I have a reason for letting this happen and I know EXACTLY when and with what cat she coupled. I count the days and make sure the pregnancy is going all right. Mommy cat is happy, purrs all the time, talks to us, is active although she rests a lot in her bithing box that I put up for her. A clean box, with confortable layers of sheets... in the most quiet corner of my room, where the other cats aren't allowed. Do you think I would dump kittens, when I take such good care of my cats? No. I wouldn't. I understand your concern. Unfortunately, a bunch of people are, indeed, irresponsible with their animal and let everything happen without caring much or at all. Read my posts again... and then if you got something positive and encouraging to tell me, you are welcome to do so. Otherwise, please, keep your comments for you. I do not need them. I am happy for the miracle of Life. Mia, Misha and the babies to come. "Luvskats00" wrote in message ... I hope that you have pledges for homes for the kittens when they are ready to separate from the mother cat. Whatever the reason you allowed this to happen, you should step up to the plate and assume full responsibility. Don't go to the market with a box and a sign saying free kittens...don't swing by the shelter and dump the kittens...act responsively. |

Thank you very much, Laura, for your input.
Mia, Misha and the belly "Laura R." wrote in message .. . circa Tue, 10 Feb 2004 16:27:03 -0500, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, frigamia ) said, Here comes the thing... Misha has been eating SO much lately. I had noticed that she was eating more before I put her on kitten food, which is normal with the pregnancy... But now that I feed her away from the other ones, I notice it even more. She is asking for food very often. I'm wondering if it's ok? Should I give her food each time she asks for it? or is this just because she likes it so much? She,s always been a good eater, but now I'm afraid to give her too much. I was thinking I could give her the kitten food 3 times a day, and if she is more hungry, the "adult" food is always available at "the normal cat food place". What should I do? I know she needs to eat smaller portions, more often in the day, because of the pregnancy and the belly taking so much space ... While she's pregnant and nursing, I'd let her eat as much as she likes, personally. Laura -- I am Dyslexia of Borg, Your ass will be laminated. |

Thanks for help and advice... As you can see, I'm watching her pregnancy closely... counting the days and making sure all is normal. I would let her eat as much as she wants since she's eating for more than one now. I have a Misha too, only I spell it Meesha Lauren ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Breeding cats when millions are dying for lack of homes IS irresponsible. snip attempt to justify irresponsible actions Otherwise, please, keep your comments for you. I do not need them. Whether you need them or not is irrelevant. You posted to a public forum, and anybody can respond and say anything they like despite your protestations. If you don't like it, tough. I am happy for the miracle of Life. There is no "miracle of life" for the millions that are killed for lack of homes, and you need to take responsibility for the results of your intentional breeding: http://community.webtv.net/zuzu22/overpopulation Megan "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke Learn The TRUTH About Declawing http://www.stopdeclaw.com Zuzu's Cats Photo Album: http://www.PictureTrail.com/zuzu22 "Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.
