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.

more meds for the troops

Got the call yesterday about mama's stool sample. She has coccidia. (intracellular parasites) So, babies most likely have it too. Mama's pretty ticked at me already, what with the clavamox for her upper respiratory infection. Oh well, we will get her all fixed up and healthy, then we will work even harder on the socialization issue.
Other than that, everyone is gaining weight, and just as important in my book, they are all VERY good at using the litter box. I am so happy about that. : )
