Mother's Day for Mama

I saw my mommy come out with the trash tonight in the dark so I decided to meet up with her in the alley and walk her back to the house. She wanted to visit with me so she sat down at the table on the patio.

Soon the kittens' mama came and Mommy asked her to stay and wait. Mama seems to be more trusting of Mommy; she sees that Mommy is taking good care of her babies. Mommy wants her to be a part of the kittens lives and is still upset that the neighbor across the street moved the kittens out of the bushes.

Mama waited while Mommy and I went inside to bring back one of the kittens. All were sleeping except Tipper so Mommy took her outside so Mama could see how big she has gotten.

Mama is coming here every night now and coming closer. Hopefully soon Mama will be more trusting and able to visit with all the kittens.

The Puffies Have Names

MOMMY NAMED THEM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO so I thought I should introduce them to you and tell you a little about them.


TOPPER: He's the only boy and likes to be alone. His four sisters gang up on him. Got his name because he always fell on his head when climbing out of the box.



MISS V (Violet): Mommy said she looks like her grandma. Sweet looking and athletic, she can climb Mommy all the way to her shoulders.




TIPPER: She got her name because of her black nose and tips on her ears and tail. Messy eater as you can see. She gets a bath EVERY night.



JET: She got her name because she is totally black. She's a screamer too; loud, oh boy is she loud! She was very sick last week; almost died but she is doing very well now.



BANDIT: It the beginning, everyone thought she was a boy and got her name because she looks like she is wearing a mask. Mommy said that if she knew that Bandit was a girl, she would have named her Julie Newmar. Who is Julie Newmar?

It Was A Scary Wednesday

WITH FIVE KITTENS AT HOME IT HASN'T BEEN EASY FOR MOMMY and Wednesday was especially hard on her.

Two of the kittens are growing like cat grass and they have never been a problem to feed other than constantly squirming and making messes. They are eating solid food now and get into my bowl.

The other three have not caught up with the other two. They aren't as big and, if they had remained out in the 'wild', might not be alive today. They are still being hand fed formula and they don't know how to suck on the thing that mommy feeds them with and these things break or don't work right.

Mommy got a scare when she found one kitten on the floor on her back barely alive. She talked to someone from the doctor's office asking for help and she started crying. My mommy was upset because of the kitten's condition, that the truck isn't running, that she has to have someone go to the store for her because she can't go on her own - where she wants, when she wants to get what she wants and because she was having trouble feeding the little ones.

I think there is a lot more bothering Mommy. I know that not being able to do her own shopping where she wants to go is costing too much money and she was upset she couldn't take the kitten to the doctor because of problems getting there and because of no money to pay the doctor.

She held the kitten all day and got it to take formula. Our neighbor friend went to the store for Mommy and brought back something that worked better so that she could feed the kittens.

After Mommy got one of the kittens better, another kitten got sick and she had to take care of that one too.

I wish I knew what to do!
