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.

Smooth sailing

The 5 little ones and mama are doing great. Had a little scare with a lethargic Twinks and some vomiting, but after their worm treatment, all is well.

It is hard to get the little ones time to meet the dogs because mama is very protective of them. Once they get their shots, we will probably take the itty bitties out a couple at a time to meet them. I feel like we haven't spent enough time with these guys. It's easy to just let mama do the heavy lifting, but they need socialization! This week, at least an hour a day, minimum.
