Spot and Cali update
Just a short update about Spot and her kits.
I haven't heard anything about Spot's three boys, but am sure they are doing fine in their new homes. You probably remember that two of them went to my vet, and the third to one of his calients. I get updates on Cali, the little girl who went to live with a co-worker. Her new home already has a resident cat, who isn't exactly thrilled with the addition. Gregg, who new Paw, says they're still at the stage where Cali tries to play and the older cat hisses back. Actually, this is just a temporary home, since Gregg can't have a cat at his current apartment. He's in the process of moving, and once he has he plans for Cali to be an only cat who will be inside only. For the time being Cali is living with Gregg's sister. Once he's moved he'll be living with catslaves on two sides of his new place, so Cali should still have plenty of feline company. Spot has settled down a lot, and no longer tries to chase Sam and LB. I think she's resigned herself that her babies are gone. She no longer calls and hunts through the apartment for them. I still have her segregated from the others. They have supervised visits with everyone pretty much ignoring each other. Now that the fluffballs are gone and Spot isn't agressively trying to keep S and LB away, Sammy has turned into the agressor. A couple times I've had to warn her I was getting the bottle, but haven't had to use the water bottle for a couple days now. I kind of worry that if I do have squirt Sammy, Spot will run and Sammy will go into chase mode. It certainly helps that both S and LB know what the bottle is, as they stop doing any unwanted behaivor when I pick up the bottle. I've been rotating which room who is in which room, so they're used to smelling each other. I hope that in time they'll get along better, as I still haven't been able to find a home for Spot. I'm also hoping that it will get better once Spot is spayed. Her next TED apointment is on the 7th. One temporary setback is that Spot is now showing signs of the weepy eye that three of the kits suffered from. I'll be going to pick up some of Sammy's special food from TED within the next couple days, so will ask if I should start her on the amoxicillin. I still have some left over from treating the kits, but as I remember it's only good for 14-15 days after being reconsituted, so willprobably need a new bottle. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy and Little Bit [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

Sounds to me like Spot will eventually fit in fine even if you don't find a
home for her. You are doing far better than when I got Pearl! It took us MONTHS to get to the point you are at now. "Steve Touchstone" wrote in message ...

I know I'm bad, but I hope you don't find another home for Spot and she ends up staying with you. ;o) -- Marina, Frank and Mere.

Purrs for Spot and for you, Steve; you've been a wonderful caretaker for the
kittens and the mama. Christine "Steve Touchstone" wrote in message ... Just a short update about Spot and her kits.
