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.

the long wait
The shelter is backed up now for spay/neuters, so I have to keep the "kids" until next Monday. They are all doing fine, but still Natalie is not to weight! She is only at 2lbs, 61/2 oz. She has stalled on her weight gain. She is eating, and growing, and seems healthy enough, but she is just slow to gain weight. They were wormed again, so I am not sure what the deal is. They all still have loose stools, so I guess I will get the housecall vet to come take a look at them.
They all came to "help" me work in my office yesterday. I know, it's a disaster, but they had lots of things to explore. Natalie found another paperball, so she was happy.
