She had a very round belly, which is often indicative of being pregnant, so I was totally on board. I went to the shelter to pick her up, and yes, she was quite round of belly even though I couldn't feel kittens. I figured it was early enough along that I couldn't feel anything. I brought her home and settled her in and realized very quickly she was a very high energy kitty who didn't really want to sit still to have her belly examined.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDzY0XHM-acUpP0cR98w0JiWHVE7B-XLJlGMt5DQxFgU0xhgU5nJ-9CjUlWW8srr3TXtIXDxZoq5iWLHRyZlr3zns1ijGlrYXQ1YtA6qiVF9qQrG8Qd7KV2QfSPxgkE90GoHGeqnBMg14LEOUMCQn-b8bVV7f815c1-viw1SXogaYECoFrmpj/s1022/20230801_175117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="882" data-original-width="1022" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLDzY0XHM-acUpP0cR98w0JiWHVE7B-XLJlGMt5DQxFgU0xhgU5nJ-9CjUlWW8srr3TXtIXDxZoq5iWLHRyZlr3zns1ijGlrYXQ1YtA6qiVF9qQrG8Qd7KV2QfSPxgkE90GoHGeqnBMg14LEOUMCQn-b8bVV7f815c1-viw1SXogaYECoFrmpj/w640-h552/20230801_175117.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I figured she would start to enjoy it as they got bigger, but she never did. I kept trying to pin her down and I would get a moment or two of feeling what was going on but then she would be out of there!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKrSvhzj7_RCdzlFSB04AOWfMyUMrYu4xgnuoL3jJX7iCpTTo0pu8J3qSiBy6siMaIcoOfctWNkSGThkp4z7pnn7gy_rG6s0HSSrMZVFLd9z_BdCeJOmqdpoiLpoeljZoXnxpz5EPOoG5eAN6JJ0JnjSMHlyItKOOLcZJuhh-aFgqEr0wHhGB4/s1197/20230811_210233.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="1197" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKrSvhzj7_RCdzlFSB04AOWfMyUMrYu4xgnuoL3jJX7iCpTTo0pu8J3qSiBy6siMaIcoOfctWNkSGThkp4z7pnn7gy_rG6s0HSSrMZVFLd9z_BdCeJOmqdpoiLpoeljZoXnxpz5EPOoG5eAN6JJ0JnjSMHlyItKOOLcZJuhh-aFgqEr0wHhGB4/w640-h430/20230811_210233.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>After three weeks I was starting to wonder. I wasn't really keeping track of the time she was with me so I thought I had another few days before I should have to feel something (as cats are only pregnant 63 or so days). Even if she only had one, which didn't make sense because her belly was so round to start with, at that point I should be feeling something. Well I ended up looking at the calendar and realized I was almost on week four. I called over my friend and she was perplexed too. She thought she felt mammary development (as did I) but no babies, so I brought her to work for an ultrasound.. <br /><br />And what did they find when they put the gel on her belly?? A spay tattoo.. <br /><br />She had us all fooled.. So I ended up bringing her right back to the shelter <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLWYKwpNh1bOoy92ZU4_cyuOOfDUbl-XCOUIxshE_LqNTDL7MfrvdV5mPUa4efG1ihtjsrTjAJH8yd86xvTsd2R812oOzV6HpcRGekdFSiOYgVhOZoWodT4CD1M22E8QRcaTatGl25r0KeCXUBNyUOUovsxi4z6eYNVXXR-XHuvJ5R4j0ZCUn/s898/20230815_140601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="898" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLWYKwpNh1bOoy92ZU4_cyuOOfDUbl-XCOUIxshE_LqNTDL7MfrvdV5mPUa4efG1ihtjsrTjAJH8yd86xvTsd2R812oOzV6HpcRGekdFSiOYgVhOZoWodT4CD1M22E8QRcaTatGl25r0KeCXUBNyUOUovsxi4z6eYNVXXR-XHuvJ5R4j0ZCUn/w640-h640/20230815_140601.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>I can't imagine she was up for adoption long.. she was incredibly sweet and fun.. although a bit of a trip hazard as she liked to be attached to your ankles as you walked across the room.<br /><br />I did end up bringing home fosters with actual babies.. There was some health issues so I was a bit afraid to introduce them initially.

Mom was a Tuxie as was one of the male kittens, I had two black, one with a white bikini on her belly the other solid black was a boy and a snowshoe girl for fun.<br /><br />They came named, but I didn't get the paperwork so I had no idea what they were called and I was pretty convinced from the beginning that they would be named after the ghosts in PacMan. Inky, Blink, Pinky and Clyde. Mom became Sue.<br /><br />Sue was absolutely petrified, so I set her up with my cat cage with everything she needed in there and covered it with a couple of sheets so she had a place she could hide away. Everything seemed to be going well, other than I couldn't see her, because food was eaten, litter boxes were filling up, and I could even see her on the webcam coming out when I wasn't there. The kittens seemed to be thriving and were super cuddly</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLnhhqT4QFtjhE21qXUu-hXKgSu9piAPVvA81GAj_DERsD8SeV8yxabaOCZ4FjNmvXouHjysWIziz6Nyms759yiqWozYOJAf_aP57WiXLv_hIB5DNheqcTm6JbpxW111KHi8B_1yoLQvdHsdNwhdt9KhhseANne5EDHkYtM20SM6fn6vhnaOi/s1496/20230509_145101.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1496" data-original-width="1496" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLnhhqT4QFtjhE21qXUu-hXKgSu9piAPVvA81GAj_DERsD8SeV8yxabaOCZ4FjNmvXouHjysWIziz6Nyms759yiqWozYOJAf_aP57WiXLv_hIB5DNheqcTm6JbpxW111KHi8B_1yoLQvdHsdNwhdt9KhhseANne5EDHkYtM20SM6fn6vhnaOi/w640-h640/20230509_145101.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>but shortly there after I started finding this all over the room.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3HLyC_fXnElIVpIgnBrD3lOTmcpfJlVammXbyNOIi05-wRGkuCABnG6krvoIR7EVCBmeCe0eDJ6_f8cWGg2win4S9d3xsF1Q6gZGd2FjmrFEfQk7rdZQjQGAmTy_uJO518kFZvM64JNVpZ1iW5JJXVS16HM-08S1L07u3onqFdD7c-hAKo3i/s1496/20230512_064755.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1496" data-original-width="1496" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3HLyC_fXnElIVpIgnBrD3lOTmcpfJlVammXbyNOIi05-wRGkuCABnG6krvoIR7EVCBmeCe0eDJ6_f8cWGg2win4S9d3xsF1Q6gZGd2FjmrFEfQk7rdZQjQGAmTy_uJO518kFZvM64JNVpZ1iW5JJXVS16HM-08S1L07u3onqFdD7c-hAKo3i/w640-h640/20230512_064755.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>And it did not stop. Day after day after day I found huge clumps of fur everywhere. The kittens were all in good health, growing like weeds and eating solid foods just fine, so I contacted the shelter about bringing Sue back.

She seemed so content I observed her on the webcam, watching over her kittens and eating, but clearly she was too stressed out with the noises of the household so she went back to where she came from. I imagine she is doing well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Shortly after she left I started noticing some odd behaviors with the boys. They were so fleeting that I was unsure if I was seeing it or not. I would hear weird scrambling noises and by the time it registered that it was happening and I looked the noises had stopped. One time Clyde was playing and he popped up and was on all four legs but they were splayed out much like the poles of the stereotypical Teepee... but by the time it registered that it was odd he was off playing, so I just chalked these things up to kittens being kittens and nothing I really needed to be concerned about.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdGF_4vxzx25isYOmtg26tnr_SrKi0_PNalZ8hmSLgw05SXfp6FjpNvkF3xMZKUojW508Mcl_xG_LDknufhT_e0Vv4kS3jPp-iEqIMptt_C4VaHX0z6NqX3NVS28HBIT8Z_zgJohlx2EbM_EvG7GzXfndriolw5i121K70YHi_kJbVmfuHZ-W9/s1496/20230522_195949.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1496" data-original-width="1496" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdGF_4vxzx25isYOmtg26tnr_SrKi0_PNalZ8hmSLgw05SXfp6FjpNvkF3xMZKUojW508Mcl_xG_LDknufhT_e0Vv4kS3jPp-iEqIMptt_C4VaHX0z6NqX3NVS28HBIT8Z_zgJohlx2EbM_EvG7GzXfndriolw5i121K70YHi_kJbVmfuHZ-W9/w640-h640/20230522_195949.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9rS5rIYdY-9JJByARK9ZMny8gsc1iuV9XyrmYwXgsdyIk9pjaIcnTppVYGOWLjKdC7hRHJ2YVKHlP_pxnL44bd7Cj-uCW1tbGi2s3MMYRUcwit46cjT7Jab-RfP7hxM-GTDABnnxnaYkIM0aDq8gXBCP9hQej1aGib_pm-gYq6lGcBmGZaCd/s1496/20230522_195913.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1496" data-original-width="1496" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9rS5rIYdY-9JJByARK9ZMny8gsc1iuV9XyrmYwXgsdyIk9pjaIcnTppVYGOWLjKdC7hRHJ2YVKHlP_pxnL44bd7Cj-uCW1tbGi2s3MMYRUcwit46cjT7Jab-RfP7hxM-GTDABnnxnaYkIM0aDq8gXBCP9hQej1aGib_pm-gYq6lGcBmGZaCd/w640-h640/20230522_195913.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3x8Nskv5wyx5Z1_v2gbWYm8zidBLR-Tj4C-bpUr8FapMSJqkBvU7OabLEGL4mb4Gctak9vWbyOJnnX6zweX5YiV9hqzUcvxNwM84_135PMInJi9MZ4SriplyCfoAs-WSqGxm3DohvVOWu280lONTzBCJQI3MTTVFx8IRdfBTQtJp4HTcuPHZA/s1177/20230519_184821.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1112" data-original-width="1177" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3x8Nskv5wyx5Z1_v2gbWYm8zidBLR-Tj4C-bpUr8FapMSJqkBvU7OabLEGL4mb4Gctak9vWbyOJnnX6zweX5YiV9hqzUcvxNwM84_135PMInJi9MZ4SriplyCfoAs-WSqGxm3DohvVOWu280lONTzBCJQI3MTTVFx8IRdfBTQtJp4HTcuPHZA/w640-h604/20230519_184821.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1AJf05Sm2yjlnV4AS5KLqbOl94RiNY5QSK_RQsvUbCXFKReCdGrVb3AbIKpk4g8tzfRPDGCBUtOGKIZ5fUNy8F7b_aOkogsEUHb6FnD567zQKR6qN1G7_-KA2UmTGlz6hvRaJrNk_-0lXh4bcEyckdWOpwSBEkjejvKhum4veaJy-slM3RRN/s1496/20230514_145001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1255" data-original-width="1496" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1AJf05Sm2yjlnV4AS5KLqbOl94RiNY5QSK_RQsvUbCXFKReCdGrVb3AbIKpk4g8tzfRPDGCBUtOGKIZ5fUNy8F7b_aOkogsEUHb6FnD567zQKR6qN1G7_-KA2UmTGlz6hvRaJrNk_-0lXh4bcEyckdWOpwSBEkjejvKhum4veaJy-slM3RRN/w640-h536/20230514_145001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXTD_xYA81L8JohJmJYcadVddixMRZk7uycxIqcygzLjA1KZ40RAYe1Nv3rOZ9pegUiNgAhe53DComZVfu9FA7ufIh0EzWnsY4OlN8VT6PPym3_DEkvRNQURr7ayLNeNvB32FrGy9mp6t1pfuaYAXzLpAMOjtB3AeU0p0P7JYOsadRkKECTf3g/s1099/20230514_142551.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1099" height="518" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXTD_xYA81L8JohJmJYcadVddixMRZk7uycxIqcygzLjA1KZ40RAYe1Nv3rOZ9pegUiNgAhe53DComZVfu9FA7ufIh0EzWnsY4OlN8VT6PPym3_DEkvRNQURr7ayLNeNvB32FrGy9mp6t1pfuaYAXzLpAMOjtB3AeU0p0P7JYOsadRkKECTf3g/w640-h518/20230514_142551.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Unfortunately, Blinky (the black girl) broke with some congestion so we started her on antibiotics.

All he had to do was walk down and distract them so I could escape. I hadn't had such a cuddly bunch of kittens in a really long time.. it was really nice.. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I should have known </div><br /><br />It went from "is this even a thing?" to "OH WHAT THECRAPISGOINGONWHATTHEHECKISTHEEMERGENCYNUMBER?!?!?" in an instant.. <br /><br />I vaccinated them one morning. I was careful and I did it in the leg instead of the scruff and everything went well. I monitored them for a while and nothing happened, they ate, they played, they cuddled, all was well. I went out for the day and came home a little late. I went to medicate Blinky and realized I grabbed Inky instead. I turned and put him on the cat tree, making sure as I always do that all four paws were down before I let him go and I turned to find his sister. I put him on the tree so that it would be easier to assess which black cat I need to pick up first.. <br /><br />Anyway, as soon as I had my back to him I heard a THUD. He had fallen off and had lost control of of his limbs. He was with me - it was not a typical seizure, but it presented a lot like one. It lasted about half an hour.. While I was on the phone with the shelter I was asked if the other kittens were okay. I had locked them up in the bathroom because they were getting all up in Inky's business and it was frustrating him, so I had my husband check and they were all fine, but a moment later Clyde lost control of his limbs. 15 minutes later the episode was over and everyone was fine.<br /><br />What comes next is very difficult so I am hiding it in white font. Highlight it if you feel you want to know what happened, but you don't..<br /><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white;">That night after the "incident" everyone was fine. I monitored them for quite some time and nothing else came of it. I finally convinced myself to go to bed and in the morning the kittens were fine. That night, and subsequently every night after Clyde would have episodes of loss of control. He would be fine when I watched him on the webcam, he would be fine when I went into the room, but when I engaged them in play he would lose control. Initially Inky's front legs basically contracted so his paws were behind his head every time he tried to move they went further back. Clyde's legs just went out from under him, like he intended to go left but went right instead. With each additional instance, Clyde seemed to get worse and worse. The episodes lasted longer and longer and he was getting so frustrated. I would try to hold him and calm him down, which helped, but he would get up and try to walk long before his body was ready which would frustrate him which would make things worse again. It took several weeks for me to realize that the more stimulated he was, the worse it got. I would often have to lock him up in a carrier for 10 minutes or longer for the whole thing to pass so he could walk again. Sometimes I tried to quiet him down by feeding him, and he would lay by the bowl and eat just fine. If he tried to stand at the bowl he would fall over, often into the food. He was also determined to use the litterbox while having an episode. I do not know why, but he would work his way over there, falling over every few steps and then flail in the box getting litter everywhere and far too many times I had to pull litter out of his eye. The worst was when he was absolutely sure he could get up on the couch.. While Clyde's issues got progressively worse, Inky's seemed to almost disappear. Unless he was really stimulated he was fine. The shelter recommended some bloodwork so I took they to work to have the blood drawn and having that stimulation set Inky off. Clyde wasn't participating in the blood draw so they gave him some drugs to calm down first and he was just fine. They give Inky some anti-seizure medication and his episode basically stopped but he was quite out of it - something that never happened when he came out of it normally. Clyde's issues got so bad that it seemed to start happening when I would turn on the lights, so I tried not doing that, and still he had one. Then they started in the morning as well. He was so frustrated by his body it was killing me. Again, the visuals are heartbreaking, and to know he knew this was happening and we couldn't do anything about it... </span></div></blockquote><p><br />We ran bloodwork on them, nothing showed. they looked for a liver shut which might be causing a buildup of waste products that could cause something like this and they ran a toxoplasmosis panel. Nothing. The shelter recommended Gabapentin and we tried that but medicating them was too simulating so I had to hide it in baby food, which was also quite stimulating (being that it is super yummy smelling and the girls totally wanted to be involved) After a week they almost seemed worse. I had been sending regular updates and videos to the shelter but I felt they needed to be in their care. My hope was that with regular stimulation (my kitten room is so quiet most of the time) their bodies might get used to it and get better at dealing with it but at the very least they could know how frequently it happened because I had such a limited amount of time with them, having to be at work a good portion of the day and sleeping a good portion of the night. <br /><br />So back they went. My heart absolutely broke and I was within inches of adopting Pinky as she liked to crawl up in my neck and lick me much like Muffin used to (thankfully over the weeks that have happened since they went back I have been able to step back from needing to adopt her, I really don't think right now is the right time to bring another cat into my home - which is one more reason for the delay in this post - I wasn't sure if it was going to end with an adoption announcement or not and I had to wait for her to be neutered to do it if it was going to happen) <br /><br />About a week later I got the news that the episodes were still happening and lasting long periods of time. The only thing that could be done for them was to see a specialist - which would have cost thousands of dollars and there was zero chance that the vet would then say "oh yes, lets do this cheap and easy thing and they'll be fine". Chances are they were either going to end up on medication for their whole lives - which does not bode well for them, or they were going to have a life ending issue.<br /><br />The shelter opted to euthanize Inky and Clyde.. <br /><br />I don't disagree with the decision.. and while my heart hurts way too much to say I fully support it, in time I will. All they knew was that when they were overly happy their bodies didn't work. That is no life to have. Please don't try to tell me that there were other options, as I will flood you with the videos I took of just how frustrated they were. No one needs to see that. <br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVIwd5C19FElRUK-8yyPs4dHG7AyXDsKCHPwok2TCbGV6mbuaimNacUJ7PEQATyhADMom0QoI4_4-baVSz5jl_fGilGluCXeQcm1v79MyWeXixCP2BemlSVPHaK0QhZvsel-5f2VXq0rA6YNQEobQqAa3pGEBp52Uag4pLRQjvw_saqPjlgFy/s1496/20230617_151813.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1318" data-original-width="1496" height="564" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVIwd5C19FElRUK-8yyPs4dHG7AyXDsKCHPwok2TCbGV6mbuaimNacUJ7PEQATyhADMom0QoI4_4-baVSz5jl_fGilGluCXeQcm1v79MyWeXixCP2BemlSVPHaK0QhZvsel-5f2VXq0rA6YNQEobQqAa3pGEBp52Uag4pLRQjvw_saqPjlgFy/w640-h564/20230617_151813.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjntLrMi4lbEWIGP_69Fu7IdHfkbvt3dJRslYTUFSyPMCvzs14lStnlJSPDR9xPe4NLfAlQhjflGIG_SsA-sNbAhRSUhouu6JCzKNO9RU6aqaqh0osIYBCfOFsZvDSC3KpubXJ-9q5siZVCVssyAJ88TmnlMLvhM9n771HnF7CYtK4bYGNUPwqO/s1496/20230625_184610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1496" data-original-width="1496" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjntLrMi4lbEWIGP_69Fu7IdHfkbvt3dJRslYTUFSyPMCvzs14lStnlJSPDR9xPe4NLfAlQhjflGIG_SsA-sNbAhRSUhouu6JCzKNO9RU6aqaqh0osIYBCfOFsZvDSC3KpubXJ-9q5siZVCVssyAJ88TmnlMLvhM9n771HnF7CYtK4bYGNUPwqO/w640-h640/20230625_184610.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTrAIs3Y_fQig26vVVoVTF7LcjC5r5uyZGOKcPYhrpNclYzwXqZMWNt8LjRqMtIHAlKazZfDL_mkXhmh_Qv6L8rle_GvirN8FLDRbXqBSovdUYvIMZyPPeTMbgGi3l1JH3V4lV1PpwMxXWUvOH-yxQG43JxxWRYozmAPZ271PD2kM7ZjIqd-2/s1083/VideoCapture_20230714-170001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="1083" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTrAIs3Y_fQig26vVVoVTF7LcjC5r5uyZGOKcPYhrpNclYzwXqZMWNt8LjRqMtIHAlKazZfDL_mkXhmh_Qv6L8rle_GvirN8FLDRbXqBSovdUYvIMZyPPeTMbgGi3l1JH3V4lV1PpwMxXWUvOH-yxQG43JxxWRYozmAPZ271PD2kM7ZjIqd-2/w640-h370/VideoCapture_20230714-170001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Getting all four in one shot was near impossible.

I was itching for more than two kittens at a time so I jumped on it. </p><p>She came to me with the name Cammie but I considered renaming her Caramel since she was so sweet. My husband suggested w could name one of the kittens Hot Fudge and I was sold. </p><p>Caramel took her sweet time with her pregnancy. She was with me three weeks before she went into labor. It was a difficult time as Caramel had multiple issues. The biggest was that she continually urinated and dedicated on the couch. I'm not sure if it was because she was afraid of what might be outside the window or if she was trying to leave a message for my neighbor cat. After a few days of it, and her plaintiff cries while staring out the window, I decided to try limiting her space. My kitten room is rather large and large amounts of territory can be overwhelming. I put her in the bathroom instead and she seemed to be much happier. She didn't scream at the window anymore and all output was appropriately contained. </p><p>We did run into another issue. She was getting so large she couldn't clean her rear and she had quite a bit of diarrhea. I had to clean her behind frequently and the smell was pretty bad. I had the feeling that the diarrhea was kitten related either hormonal or the kittens rolling around on her intestines.. I was working on seeing if we could get her fecal tested to be safe when babies happened. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2M3po45WrYFPzTdnW8v9MoV0dCfSw3wOoHB0I6r9zQGfXHvbXNKqdBX_5m10N9cMVZxlwb70cJQnGTHo32XkRHUFtsD2l1P9Jpmvdiq7Uxp6ifavUq1ymQmLxAsU9NPa_y4iLBG_Sr7vHhdG0vBVtia-0--oQkBbcejxT0F6QUJ4hC9mEaQ/s3024/Photo_1661824608876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2M3po45WrYFPzTdnW8v9MoV0dCfSw3wOoHB0I6r9zQGfXHvbXNKqdBX_5m10N9cMVZxlwb70cJQnGTHo32XkRHUFtsD2l1P9Jpmvdiq7Uxp6ifavUq1ymQmLxAsU9NPa_y4iLBG_Sr7vHhdG0vBVtia-0--oQkBbcejxT0F6QUJ4hC9mEaQ/w640-h640/Photo_1661824608876.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>The difficult part of fostering a pregnant cat is you can't be with them 24/7. On Wednesday I got up and went to feed her. She didn't eat her dinner but other than that I didn't see any initial signs of labor </p><p>I sat with her for a few minutes. She seemed off. I sat with her a few more. Finally I saw a contraction and Caramel looked a bit tired. She wasn't keen on letting me get a good look at anything and I really needed to make a decision if I was going to go to work or if we had a problem so I pulled her out of her carrier. No discharge visible. No kittens born. Her rear end was all wet and it almost looked like there was puss. I was trying to assess what I was looking at when Caramel said no more and left. She walked away just fine and went into her box and had another contraction. </p><p>I let my coworker know that I was probably going to be late to work, and while I was doing that she had another contraction and something felt off. I pulled her out of the box again and more wetness and there was a protrusion but it still didn't look right. I've gone through a lot of births and I was uncomfortable with what I was seeing. It was almost as if the kitten was being pushed out but it wasn't actually coming out. </p><p>I called the after hours number for the rescue and was looking for permission to bring her to work with me to watch but if there was an issue we could deal with it or if they wanted me to take the day off work and bring her down to them. They opted for the latter and so off I went. </p><p>Long story short, because details aren't really important, about 45 minutes later we had a kitten delivered naturally. I may or may not have been over reacting. All that matters is we had six healthy kittens and Caramel did an amazing job. She's been overly protective and didn't want me to touch them for the first day and then she didn't like it when I made them mew</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjznYxB01VpfgiQlCK6swC6VQAkoOHgqkXJsWiXb-Ka7Y1VQdd0SnqiDTXykDmPvw341bE34obxpfOr2Rdj8M8y65w_R3eAZCxuutdBVZvktc6jm5idb1FF_VZasXWkPAbo8GBfcDnc68doAo-SYN92AspvA4YMfS85-ERzVYj0MW6Ks7x6Pg/s3024/Photo_1661824609244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjznYxB01VpfgiQlCK6swC6VQAkoOHgqkXJsWiXb-Ka7Y1VQdd0SnqiDTXykDmPvw341bE34obxpfOr2Rdj8M8y65w_R3eAZCxuutdBVZvktc6jm5idb1FF_VZasXWkPAbo8GBfcDnc68doAo-SYN92AspvA4YMfS85-ERzVYj0MW6Ks7x6Pg/s320/Photo_1661824609244.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Even now she's not a fan but she's tolerant.</p><p>The kittens aren't that large, but they do seem advanced in motor control.

I drove down to the shelter (111 miles round trip) and all they had was shredded food. They were originally eating that so I was hopeful that would be okay, but they are not fans of it.<br /><br />I have done fundraising here before offering up my Amazon wish list but I have been having real issues with Amazon - both personally (not a fan of some of the stories of the working conditions I have heard) - and physically - as I don't have mail service to my house and my Post Office is currently having some real issues getting mail to people in the community (me included). I toyed with the idea of asking for gift cards to Petsmart but that seemed like too much of a stretch. <br /><br />I reached out to an independent pet store I adore. <a href="https://www.catskingdom.online/" target="_blank">Cats Kingdom</a> in Manchester NH is a catcentric pet store. Cathy has a great selection of food as well as things like cat trees, water fountains, and toys. I make the trek down every couple of months to buy things as I really want to support them and I thought this fundraiser might be a good way to support several causes I care about at once.<br /><br />Cathy is entirely willing to work with me, and you, on this. If you would like to purchase something online, you can do that<a href="https://www.catskingdom.online/shop" target="_blank"> here</a>. If you would like to buy a gift card or anything else by phone, you can reach them at 603-935-8321 and she will store it for me there and I will drive down to get it. Cathy said in an email:<br /><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Your friends can call to get a gift card, they are not connected to my online store. If you let me know what you want to accomplish, I can make anything happen on my end.
Also please note, that all sale items are in-store only. While the online store is a great tool and can be ordered off of, 99% of my business is in-store.
<br /><br />
Emailed invoices are also an option.
A gift card bought via phone or emailed invoice can then be mailed out /saved in-store....
If you see a sale item, I can send you an invoice, it can be paid and then held at the store. </blockquote><p>Cathy is currently having some cool sales at the store. You can see them on her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/catskingdomnh/" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a>. She also runs an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/catskingdomnh/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> page. Geoff and Gina have a strong preference for pate food in poultry flavors, but any other flavors will be saved for future kittens, which I am sure to have. Cathy often has my <a href="https://www.purrfectpost.com/purrfect-cat-toy-by-vee-enterprises/" target="_blank">favorite cat toy in stock</a>, and I could use a few more of those as well.<br /><br />If you would like to support me by sending a gift card for cat litter, that would be great as well. It is amazing how much of it they go through.. lol <br /><br />I often say that my followers are vital to the success of the kittens I foster because it is your support and encouragement that help get me through some difficult times. Being reminded that there are "cat people" out there who value the lives of kittens and unhomed kitties lets me send out my fosters out into the world trusting they will land with good people.

He wanted to bite and wrestle with me constantly. He was much more persistent in this than the kittens I've dealt with in the past, save for Edgar the Obnoxious. After a while it was easier to snuggle him and he was less likely to put aggressive play when it was clear I wasn't interested </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The safest option is to put them on "bite hold" and only allow people who have been vaccinated against rabies to handle them on that one in a million chance they were exposed prior to the bite. <br /><br />I was told they weren't eating that well when I picked them up.

The kittens are quite rotund and I joke they remind me of fuzzy potatoes.

She's shunned all of it from the beginning. That blanket there was bunched up long before the start of this post, but I wanted it for the photo. </p><p>If I'm not mistaken, the first two are the boys and the second two are the girls.

Her people were uncomfortable taking on the added responsibility of birth and raising even more kittens so they reached out to the shelter for help. Kudos to them. <p></p><p>Unfortunately, she is severely lacking manners. She bites and scratches with no real warning and she almost seems to be ready to go off on me when I try to correct her. Fortunately I think the biting and scratches are simply because she doesn't know better and not because she really wants to hurt me. She slowly is starting to understand that I'm not a fan, but she is a fan of snuggling on my chest.. sooo... neither one of us is all that happy right now. </p><p>Yesterday I realized she had tapeworms.. that was fun. I was a bit afraid of pilling her as she reacted really badly to getting her nails trimmed, but it was pretty easy.

Even now I can tell she isn't 100% comfortable and I get the impression she is afraid of being stepped on a she runs to her perch whenever we move around</p><p>She likes attention, a lot, and is a bit of a goof when asking for it but she reacts badly when I picked her up and put her on my lap. She still does more lip licking (a sign of being uncomfortable) than I would like. </p><p>She has very definite opinions on pretty much everything. She makes me a little nervous occasionally because sometimes when I run my hand down her back she'll whip her head around like she is going to give me what for. However, she loves to have her belly rubbed and will roll around next to me showing off her belly and asking for rubs.</p><p>She is one of those blind kitties that the internet warnings on how to deal with blind cats were made for. I put a chair in the room and she had run into it multiple times. I made the mistake of putting her wet food in the wrong side of her dry food and it was obvious that she completely disapproved. </p><p>She would love a quiet home where her new people will be okay with multiple weeks of her adjusting to them and give her a regular routine on a daily basis. She growled at me when I came home smelling like a dog so I'm guessing she would prefer to be the only pet. </p>Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-41638657950126638142021-04-15T21:15:00.004-04:002021-04-15T21:15:20.224-04:00Naming day<p>This group was hard because I didn't get to see them.

I spent quite a bit of time scratching her ears and loving on her. She would get so into it that she would forget about the kittens and roll around causing them to get upset. I believe she started to blame me for that. </p><p>I do often joke that I have grabby hands but I'm very respectful when a mother cat shows me that this is unacceptable. Millie, however, didn't care. It got to the point where if she saw my hands she would violently lash out. I even tried offering her food and treats through the small opening on the side of the box, where there was no chance of my touching her or the kittens and she still was not welcoming. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MjEwBgn2t9RFbnsfuHaHdOCH8jM1t6WTZUrZzdmByiJWtV8d37_8-mu_X0Rh_PRfyaJyv_BBUilbKmim-VUaKw1GwOhIaNNETfU1eiCWHa3e9A4R80RtK7e4lbBZTnHT0t9w/s2048/Photo_1618533971552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MjEwBgn2t9RFbnsfuHaHdOCH8jM1t6WTZUrZzdmByiJWtV8d37_8-mu_X0Rh_PRfyaJyv_BBUilbKmim-VUaKw1GwOhIaNNETfU1eiCWHa3e9A4R80RtK7e4lbBZTnHT0t9w/w640-h640/Photo_1618533971552.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>It made it more and more difficult to care for the kittens. So when she started spitting at me, I reached out to the shelter about separating her. Since she has a home who is waiting for her, it seemed best. </p><p>So, now the kittens are on their own. Right now, because of the example their mother set, they are afraid of me. I'm guessing a few days after some regular feeding and play time they'll get over that. </p><p>So, the names... someone on fb suggested Squish, and I liked it. I had a friend who wanted the orange kittens when I thought they were boys. When I was able to verify genders that all changed. The shelter got things all mixed up, they told me the tabby was a girl and the orange ones were boys.. nope. </p><p>My friend doesn't want two more girl kittens, but the second greatest kitten pusher I know, Kathleen, has made all the right connections and the kittens are spoken for. </p><p>So, without further ado..</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThLtZTYXO6tQc8ewiqTMtNiHbyfGvdTNkIfonrL42cmLFGMzb1TgPeqMzgYQqtEkpeGaNA2gEtawaresFiaoOld-E_yJVhMeYgP46PVWVC0Ps-2pNnqfq6Z4Z64zL-zUOi7j4/s2048/Photo_1618533849232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThLtZTYXO6tQc8ewiqTMtNiHbyfGvdTNkIfonrL42cmLFGMzb1TgPeqMzgYQqtEkpeGaNA2gEtawaresFiaoOld-E_yJVhMeYgP46PVWVC0Ps-2pNnqfq6Z4Z64zL-zUOi7j4/w640-h640/Photo_1618533849232.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Squish, </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWRKOStM1zdP9HE5MTmf1PlbyHk7xodwVrfkTq9KxUWIrkxlsxu7AzCVpmMv4DGKzqbKIf2DUQCVrjpjGklAJklE82mzJokT_2ttimRAThmvBRtAx2DvGd8tmlAC-SnKdoZPX/s2048/Photo_1618533849853.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWRKOStM1zdP9HE5MTmf1PlbyHk7xodwVrfkTq9KxUWIrkxlsxu7AzCVpmMv4DGKzqbKIf2DUQCVrjpjGklAJklE82mzJokT_2ttimRAThmvBRtAx2DvGd8tmlAC-SnKdoZPX/w640-h640/Photo_1618533849853.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Squirt,</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdgkpzZULxnDZPINT-4afoP28EK6MEYl1-tZXpCUDbUvL6GPSydCVLhIO3CoKmgcQz7D62yk5xKKbh8hfqX_dDaTLs2Ss2SMXLY8p6cln0twllHdsxVkl5ZWhwkJYVNojpGZRN/s2048/Photo_1618533850557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdgkpzZULxnDZPINT-4afoP28EK6MEYl1-tZXpCUDbUvL6GPSydCVLhIO3CoKmgcQz7D62yk5xKKbh8hfqX_dDaTLs2Ss2SMXLY8p6cln0twllHdsxVkl5ZWhwkJYVNojpGZRN/w640-h640/Photo_1618533850557.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p> Goldbug.</p><p>Names were taken from the Richard Scarry books.
