In which the Circle of Life does its circly thing

[serinde]

Piewacket is delivered of five SIX (so far) tiny tuxedo kittens! (In the box I set up for her, I may add, thus sparing nedlnthred's much-abused furnishings.) I would have pictures for your delectation, only the batteries in the camera chose now to die. They are recharging. Slowly. Be patient.

The last thing this house or, indeed, this neighborhood needs is more kittens; but there wasn't any way to get her to the vet until it was too late. The good news is, she's now considerably more tame--indeed, she's spent the last week tripping me every time I move, wanting scritchies--so as soon as they're weaned we can take her directly over to the Helpful Animal Clinic. (Momcat has an appointment for next week and Spot has disappeared, so if we can just get our hands on Foxy we just might be able to get ahead of the local problem; I don't believe there are any other fertile queens in the area.) And since the kittens are in the house and all, we should be able to get them right people-friendly and thence to good homes.

Anyone want a cat?

We're still saying we're not quite ready for kittens yet -- we're a one-cat house at the moment. But we might need to come over to help socialize this batch of cuties.

One of these days I'll get around to a “nun cat haz a ruler” photo.

A vet I know suggested that getting the males neutered was the key, since they're territorial. Time to box up Spats. We get the appt first, then get him, if that's possible. But there are quite a few potential toms out there, waiting.

So Kyuuuutttee!

Yeah, it's just that we seem to have a lot more toms around here, and more of them are skittish enough to make me think we won't be able to catch them.
