Elephants Upstairs

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.

not yet

We didn't get any more babies today. Seems we couldn't get a vet appointment until tomorrow afternoon. So Sierra gets a reprieve. In the mean time, everything here seems A OK. Everyone seems happy and healthy. I am still supplementing the babies with a bottle a couple of times a day. Everyone gained weight today, with the exception of Kelsey, who actually lost 1/8 of an oz. I don't think it's a big deal, but I will check her in the morning again, just to be safe.

I did come up with a name for the yet unnamed little girl. She looks like her brother Hogan, but a little lighter, and she has some orange toes on her right front foot. I decided to name her Sage. So, everyone has a name now. Whew. I was starting to feel the pressure.
