In May of 2005, we decided we should try fostering kittens, to ease the pain of the loss of one of our cats. We lost Pepper on a Saturday, and 3 days later, we got a call that there was a litter of 6 orange tabbies that needed a foster home. That was when it all began. The title may make you scratch your head, but I was always amazed at the amount of noise these tiny little kittens can make when they are playing. From the living room, it does indeed sound like we have elephants upstairs.

spoke too soon...
I don't know why I ever say all is well. This evening, Noah is very lethargic., not eating. Looks dehydrated. Gums are white. I gave him 9ML of subq fluids, and he did make a small effort to pick at some food. There was two very loose cow patties...one in a bed, and one on the floor. What do you bet they were Noah?
I hope the fluids make a difference, and he is doing better tomorrow morning. I will give him more fluids in the AM, and hope it helps. Man, I hate having sick kitties. Hopefully, I caught this soon enough.
the finish line!
Well, as of this morning, Sully has made weight! He is over 2 and a half pounds. I was shocked to see that my little piglet Robyn is over 2 lbs! She is such a little porker. At least the pooping has subsided. No more drippage!
We are all still on an antibiotic, but it is doing it's job, and everyone seems pretty healthy. When they are healthy, the elephants do frolic.
I will add some photos later tonight.
