› Forum › THE LOUNGE › I have guests and no camera!!-Now with Pictures!! UPDATE
This morning I left early to go to this silly makeup party my friend was having, and Dave and Mikey stayed home (neither have an interest in facials or eye shadow). Sometime after I left, Mikey went to get my camera and try to fix it (maybe he heard me complaining about what a peice of junk it is) and chewed it up. So that’s why I cannot give you pictures of my guests I’ll see if I can talk Dave into letting me use his cellphone to take pictures…
Dave was going in and out all day as he’s doing some flooring. Came to tell me there was kittens next door the feral cat I’ve been trying to befriend so I can get her fixed, had kittens. Our neighbors had covered up a corner with a blanky so we went to talk to them first (and ensure it wasn’t their kittens) before I scooped them.
They are 6-7 weeks old and I was able to get two. Mom and the other two are presumedly under our stoop and I can’t get to them. I presume because Mikey’s having a cow-and snow foot prints.
Dave is giving me time to find homes for them, and I’m hoping tomorrow the other two are out and I can scoop them. Otherwise the stoop is getting uprooted!! If those kittens take off, they’ll be having more kittens by spring!
Hopefully I can give you all some pics soon!! I have a little black and white long haried, and one orange and white. A calico and a full black are still MIA.
zomg gimmeh. wants kittens.
Of all that cats that ever existed none are as cute as calicos. Pics!!!!!
I had a stray calico kitten two days ago lol. It followed my friend walking to my house and then stayed. So I feed it and gave it warm blankets and such, and by the next day found someone who wanted it. My neighbors friend toke him home with her. I just love kittens.
One of our cats we found as a stray. Found him one evening, all alone outside, under a parked car. I couldn’t believe that someone hadn’t lost this cute little kitten and wasn’t looking for it. Took him home, he had no tags and no tattoo in his ear but then again our cats are microchipped and not tattoo’d so the lack of tattoo didn’t necessarily mean he didn’t have a home. Also discovered that in Edmonton it’s illegal to keep a stray animal, you have to turn them in to animal services. So we did that the next day, and when he wasn’t claimed by anyone after a few days they called me up and told me I could have him. I must have checked the animal services website every half hour to make sure he hadn’t been claimed yet, lol.

They are doing great!!! Eating little kibbies and goat’s milk. We are off to purchase a cat trap (we saw them in a store a few weeks ago) and we’re going to catch mom and the other two babies!! Wish me good luck
The plan is to find homes for the babies (becasue Dave won’t let me keep them!) and then mom is going for a spay and back outside. She’s feral and was born outside and has been homeless five years. The shelters are full and no one would take a feral-they aren’t even taking owner surrendered, fixed animals with as surrender fee; so I think we’re going to do like others do about ferals-fix em and let em be. She’s apparently had tons of litters since showing up-poor dear.
I am borrowing a cam from mom at thanksgiving dinner tonight so I’ll probably be able to do pics soon!!
To add; I’ve been feeding her since we moved in, and we’re going to continue. We’re also working on a little house for her.
So.. you can’t keep her, but are keeping her? hehe
happy Canadian turkey day, i totally forgot about it, so used to american one now…
And tell Dave he’s mean fro not letting you keep the adorable babies.
K&K&K – Kokaneeandkahluaandkittens
Omg I just got word…. Lock your doors. Crazy Pink Tray Cat lady is on her way.
Hehehe K&K&K heheh
Update :
First and foremost my mom is bringing me her old cam to borrow tomorrow
Bought a cat trap and caught momma within a half an hour. She is WILD!! We got her transferred to a kennel easily though. Then I found the little black kitten across the road sleeping by the fence. We’re not entirely sure if there were three or four cats as our neighbors saw them and they aren’t entirely sure. We have the cat trap baited and set though, and I’m out every hour (As well as three of my neighbors listening and looking. IF there are other kitties-we will find them.
Momma is getting spayed. I’m going to phone our spay clinic and if they say they don’t do ferals…Then I’m going to call back in a few hours and tell them I need *my* cat spayed, and will warn them shes upset and hard to handle….but she is getting spayed no matter what.
I have homes for two of the three or four. So things are good!! And pics soon-I promise I’m the paparrazi after all
Thank you thank you thank you! It’s so wonderful what you’re doing for these cats and and for your neighborhood (even if some of your neighbors don’t appreciate it). I’ve dealt with my fair share of strays so I thank you so much for what you’re doing, I know it’s a bit of work, but it helps the cats so much.
Awww thank you!!! my hand is completely mauled from little-itty-bitty-kitty scratches and I needed that Thanks
Picture time!!
Crazy Momma (or-“I call the big one Bitey”) Mom is a Calico-very pretty! We put her in our dog kennel-it’s the largest size they make. She’s settled down a lot since she came in (The first thing she did when she came in the house was scream at Dave and pee) -now she is talking to me, and a little hissing-but no striking. Nonetheless, I’ll be giving her pain meds after surgery by putting them in treats!! I do not like blood loss!
And babies
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kitties! <3 <3 <3 I would SO take em off your hands if I still lived there. So adorable!
hahah tooo cute! But boy do they look like trouble!
^^I should take a picture of my hand. It’s not from holding them now, but when we caught them-I have 11 kitty scratches
Aaaaa what cuties!! want oneeee!!
KK it’s so nice what you’re doing for the babies and the mommy, I was telling my best friend today about the kitties and that you’re getting the mommy spayed and everything! You’re amazing!
oh my oh my oh my… cuuuute kittehs!
if i wasn’t crazy allergic i’d have you plop a stamp on one of those sweet little foreheads and mail them to me
What does Mikey think of the kitties?
So cute! Gosh I just love kittens. If I lived near you I would totally come over and help you in any way I could!
Petzy-my FB status sums it up (I’m trying to home on facebook too!)
“My dog is jealous, my bunnies are mad. Please take a kitty, they’ll be glad”
hehehe Kahlua was stomping for the first hour-she was not impressed. Noot is intrigued. Chuck doesn’t care-as always, he’s just chilling.
It was funny Rupert went up to check them out and then one kitty hissed, he ran (bolted in his very ungraceful fashion) which scared the kitties, Kahlua and Mikey LOL
So basically no one is impressed. But its just a few days of extra work, extra stink, extra poop. Soon they’ll be off. *fingers crossed*
I did not believe Dave about how much cat poopy stinks-but umn, yeah I believe him now. I’m not having a cat until I have a house big enoough to put a litter box where I will never catch a whiff!!
Kitten poop is just hugely stinky! Way worse than adult cat poop. I’d forgotten exactly how stinky it is until we started fostering.

Oh your guests are so cute!! I love kittens!!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
They are very cute! Thanks for saving them!
I’m not a cat person by any stretch of the imagination, but I can appreciate *other* people’s cats and I do think they are cute.
BAH!! I made her spay appointment. The spay clinic is the cheapest in town. My friends cat neuter was 65$….Momma’s spay? 140$ as long as she’s not in heat or pregnant. She BETTER not be pregnant or in heat OMG
LOL-bratty momma.
I spoke to a woman at work who lives in the country. Shes phoning her friend to see if she needs a barn cat. I told I am footing the bill for the spay, and she’s not a pet-but I’d prefer her in a barn then under my house-she’d get fed, catch mices and no roadways around
SIGH
OK update…my last kitty is gone…maybe for good…more on that.
Mom-totally wild and feral -after fixing we took her to a friend’s barn-she’ll get food and shelter there-rather then eat out of garbages once a week and live under peoples porches…..
I homed the boys easily-they were spotted, but the little black female-no one wanted. Eventually and quickly I became attached…I got H1N1 and had to stay home and used that as an excuse for my slow rehoming…
Still Dave would’t budge. I really thought eventually he would…but he just wouldn’t. A lady from work tried her but her cat didn’t like her. My friendd at work (A great chicka, four kids, mostly grown, all about spay/neuter and indoor cats) took her today to ensure her dogs would be ok with her.
The kitty is fine with dogs, met mine and my parent’s dog. So hopefully her dogs are ok with her!! I just *sigh* wanted her so bad. She was fine with the buns (I had ‘soft claws’ on her) AND with Mikey (yesterday I was cleaning bun room, Noot and CHuck in one of the bathrooms, but Kahlua, Rupert, kitten and Mikey running around together fine-seriously astounding…
*sigh*
So ooooo
Wish my kitty good luck in her new home, and me a few healing vibes…I miss her…
Bad Dave, bad! *smacks with newspaper* Get well! A couple of my friends and my sister got H1N1… I think I’ll stay home for a few months O.o ((((healing vibes))))
Apparently gargling with peroxide is a good thing to do to avoid the flu-Dave didn’t get it living with me-we didn’t kiss obviosly but you’d still think he’d get it (maybe his superior diet of deep fried food only has saved him?) but he gargled every day with peroxide and is fine.
Bad Dave, bad! *smacks with newspaper*
Thank you!! I let him know he’s been hit now…lol A girl on this dog forum I’m on was posting about her prob, her dog growls at her boyfriend…I’m like ‘I don’t see a problem…teach yoru dog to bite him too” lol
That is so great that you could help that whole cat family! I hope your fave kitten does well – I’m sure she’ll love her new home. Whenever I want another pet and Brian says NO, I just remind myself that that allows me to have more time to spend with my current pets, and also that leaves more funds available for medical issues, or for building fancy new cages etc., and that usually makes me feel better. I’m still lobbying for a dog, but then Juli got stasis this week and reminded me how 8 bunnies is a lot for my current medical fund
That’s ironic about the black kitty, she would be the one I would have chosen if I lived closer! You did a great job rehoming the kitties I am sure they are ALL so happy to come into your life! I hope you feel much better soon! (((((Healing Vibes)))))
hey great job finding homes for all the kitties k&k! i am sending out happy home vibes for kitty and feel better about your kitty-free home vibes for you!
so you got the h1n1 huh? that sucks. how are you coming along? i have a cold right now too. its not swine flu… barely fever if at all and no body aches… but i have a nasty and annoying cough so i feel evil going anywhere in public. don’t leave home without my purell, ricola lozenges and a wad of kleenex. i hope you get well soon!
So how is mummy cat hiss and scratch? I like the black and white one. That pink nose.
OH my H1N1 You poor thing. Get well soon
Thanks all-I’m much better now-cough is almost gone and back at work (which is not a fun thing… )
The little black kittie is doing wonderful in her new home. The lady has two dogs (kitty is used to dogs remember) and her beagle has decided the kitten is her baby. She follows her around, and won’t let the other dog near her. Kisses her and bays at night for her.
The 15 year old daughter ‘claimed’ kitty and named her Echo. She lives in her bedroom, and her dad (my friend’s hubby) installed a cat door in the bedroom door so the kitty can go in and out (15 year olds keep their doors shut) It all sounds great-just wish I could have kept her!
But…I am on a waitlist for a parrot this spring…so maybe a good thing
