Anubis in her favorite spot eva

Toesday with Shortcake - Ankle Whisker edition

Shortcake is one really remarkable looking kitten.  She has that round apple head that so many people love. Her fur is so very very soft and it almost has a brownish hue to it when she is in the sun.  Not to mention that she is almost cartoonishly round in body.  It is a very stark contrast to The Fab Four, but even with out the comparison so close at hand she still feels like she was one of those bubbly cartoon kittens come to life.

But the best feature is her elegant ankle whiskers.  Unfortunately I couldn't get a photo that does them justice as Shortcake isn't a fan of the Pawpurrazi.  They generally extend out from her paw and sweep down towards the ground.

While trying to get a good photo of them, I was able to capture some of her unique white spots.  She has the normal locket of white fur on her chest, but she also has white armpits and ear tufts

not to mention the cutest bikini bottom...

I iz so embarrassed.. I go now?

Monday Morning..

That lady was running late again this morning (BIG SURPRISE!) and she left me to blog.. ha ha ha.. I'm gonna spill all kindsa secrets.. like she only feeds us 10 cans of food, and we rarely get the good stuff, and she only gives us 500 kisses.. we so deprived.. help us!!

Not to mention she's been shoving stuff down our faces that we HATE.. *blech*  first it was that yellow stuff that made my insides feel a little wobbly (OK fine, they felt way better afterwards) and then she brought in this stuff that smelled like grass and insisted in putting it in our eyes... AND NOSE!!  *sneeze*  and now my poor brother has to take that bubblegum smelling liquid (at least she doesn't put that up his nose!!)

What?? oh yea.. 

OK, fine, we aren't as sneezy as we were, and my brother isn't spewing snot all over me any more.. but did I mention we only got 500 kisses!  and she didn't bother to pull our ping pong balls out of the corner of invisibility.. and we only got 10 cans of food.. we are hungry..  Come save us!!

Antibiotics started

Well I was so hoping to avoid this, but after a few days of snot covered kittens I couldn't deal with it any more.

The kittens started sneezing a few days ago and they got goopy eyes, so I started giving them colloidal silver and it helped some but not others.  I have been reading up on the benefits of silver with golden seal.  I got some golden seal root and leaves at my local health store, but the clerk that asked me about why I was buying them freaked me out when she said that it was "very strong".  But I owned it, and I had a lot of people recommending it, so I brewed a very mild tea and tried it out myself (didn't sting when I put it in my eye, but it felt a little bit drier for some time afterwards)   I diluted it down again, and gave some both by dropper (eye and nose) and on the food.  A few days later most of the kittens were doing much much better, but Victor was still snotty.  He is active and eating - but not as much as he should be - and sneezy. The Fab Four are cuddlers, so they all have spots of snot on them where Victor is either wiping his nose on them (can't you just picture that??) or sneezing while he is cuddled to them.

So I guess he's just a little too far behind the eight ball to fight this off on his own with just herbal/alternative help.. Just need to get him back on the right road, which I'm sure he's actually on at the moment.

I don't mind, I'm loving the extra cuddles.

Former Foster Friday

Back in June of 2006 I took in an adorable litter of kittens. I do not remember off the top of my head all the litters I've fostered, but these ones I do remember.

It included a cute fluffy kitten I named Sebastian. He was adopted with a kitty that a friend of mine fostered named Jasper.

She renamed Sebastian to Jake and Jasper to Jericho and they are doing very well. I had actually been thinking about them since I recently found some photos that she sent me when they were first adopted and now I have a brand new photo to add to the collection
