for a good time call...

Well, Mom is in heat. Poor thing. Rolling around on the floor moaning and groaning. Doing the butt up in the air thing. One or two of the girls are trying to help her out by jumping on her back and biting her neck, but they are too small and of the wrong gender. The only intact male in the house was sitting behind my head playing in my hair. Yup. The only boy kitten named after a gay man was playing with my hair. It just made me giggle. He was totally oblivious to what is going on in there. My own males, all castrated at a young age, also have no clue, thank goodness!!! I so wish I could help her out, but the only way to do that is to get her a mate, and I'm not about to produce more kittens. If she keeps it up, I might ask the shelter to neuter her. They generally don't do adult cats until they are adopted (for financial reasons) but I'm sure they'll make an exception for me. Foster moms usually get every chance in the world to get adopted.

I've also got a situation brewing with Mona. She was very sleepy yesterday, almost to the point of being lethargic. I couldn't see anything wrong with her so I just let it go that she was sleeping hard - kittens do that from time to time. Today she had a green crust on her vulva. Either she has a urinary tract infection or an infection in her uterus. I'm going to bring her in tomorrow. Good thing in her favor is that she wanted and did eat. She's so cute when she's sleeping.

I trimmed kitten nails tonight. Surprisingly I'm covered in kitten scratches. Dana does NOT like her nails trimmed at all. Reagor liked it. Afterwards, Michelle and Dana were playing on the window and Dana fell into the water bowl. I'm telling you, these kittens like water :D
