Now who would think that the 6 little kitties would be so much work? Well for sure not me until lately. OK, I know that some (or most) of all of this is brought on by me – but someone had to take care of them right? Well to give you an idea on how much work they are, in the mornings they were getting scrambled eggs with ham and bread mixed with warm milk and then at night they’ve been getting mashed potatoes and milk. But now that they’ve got a little older they’ve finally graduated to kitty food. Yea! I take the cat food and put hot water with it to soften it up. Then when it’s cooled down enough to eat – out it goes into their pan. Dump a little milk on it … Yup, much easier! So now all I have to worry about it giving them their eye drops a couple of times a day and they are also getting amoxicillin twice a day. This is only supposed to go on for a week and then everything will be good.
Tonight we had some trouble with the kitties and Kaiser. Kaiser has these small toys that he plays with all over the yard and for some reason he thinks that the smallest of these little kitties is an orange version of his toy. He takes her and runs through the yard and throws her up in the air. Just so not cool! She’s the size of your palm and tonight she looked really bad. The poor thing just wants to always be by the dogs and that is such a bad decision on her part. So tonight Daryl came and got me and said that this little kitty was almost dead and when I looked at her, I knew that he wasn’t exaggerating. I found a nice soft bath towel and wrapped her in it and held her while I was sitting by the camp fire with William. I would peak at her and she had her eyes closed, but then all of a sudden I could her something and thought – crap she’s dying. But after I listened a little bit closer, she wasn’t dying she was purring! Now granted it wasn’t the best sounding purr I’ve ever heard but for a cat that couldn’t even walk about an hour ago and was expected to die, I’m thinking that she’ll pull through another day. Now to just keep the dogs away from her!
