      The kittens arebig enough to escape over the baby gate across their door. With 7 of them charging it at once with just one of me to stop them it is inevitable that some will make it out.

      Today little baby Columbine managed it. Since I had the food platter in hand I didn’t immediately try to retrieve her. Instead I got the other 6 settled eating, scooped the boxes, and put the dirty platter away.

      By this time she realized she done messed up. Mama and Rose are in their own room with the door closed, and all 3 of my cats were downstairs with their own breakfast. She was ALONE AND THIS WAS NOT OKAY. IT WAS SCARY.

      She started to cry and so I followed the sound to her. The second she saw me she RACED to my hands and didn’t fight as I scooped her up (she doesn’t normally like being picked up) and carried her back to her brothers.

      Will she learn from this?

      Probably not.

        Been trying for the better half of an hour to work. Boleyn is being extra needy today and I don’t know why which leaves me VERY suspicious.

                  Baby Clover <

                  All of them + mama got fixed today. They came home super snuggly. Especially the little girl, Columbine. Spay is so much harder on their bodies than neuter is.

                      My new foster family is adorable. 2 orange (1 male, 1 female), 2 tortoiseshell, and their DAD. Mom was too skittish and refused to be caught. If they do catch her they will likely spay and release.

                      We call them the SWAT team.
                      Commander
                      Adorable. He is probably less than two years old (no tabby cheeks from testosterone) and had to be someone’s pet at some point because he is so docile and calm.

                      Sierra
                      Sweet, but rather shy. She enjoys playing but is spooked easily.
                      alt text

                      Whiskey
                      All purrs and action, no brain. He lives up to the orange cat stereotype.
                      alt text

                      Alpha
                      Her name is earned, she is OPINIONATED. She is allowed to be in our space when she chooses to be, including for sleeps, but God forbid if we go into HERS. She will smack!
                      alt text

                      Tango
                      She is a good balance between Whiskey and Alpha. She loves to get petted and loved, but looks before she throws herself into something. She got all the brains Whiskey didn’t.
                      alt text

                      Cutest pair: Sierra and Commander. They adore one another and cuddle constantly. If they stay this close after spay and neuter, we are going to have to get creative for how they can stay together in the shelter. Sierra is too little for the adult areas, and Commander is too sweet and big for our kitten room. (I think our teenage kittens will bully him.)

                              I got a new friend just before Christmas, a ragdoll kitten who is opinionated and altogether too pretty.

                                  @Packrat SWEET BABY. You will have to post update pics as her coloring darkens. Is she a blue or a lilac? I have the worst time telling those colors apart.

                                  I have a smoke ragdoll and my sister has her blue kitten. I call her my defective discount purebred. She wasn’t having big enough litters so the breeder sold her to us at a discount with her last kitten.

                                      We have decided that we are keeping Commander and Sierra together despite the age difference. They sat in my lap snuggled together for an hour. This is Commander and Sierra with Commander giving her a kiss.

                                        I know this is more of a picture thread, but can I ask for some advice?

                                        We’ve wound up with six cats all told because times are tough and all the local vets were charging very high prices for spay/neuturing (almost $400 just for one) and were booked out like three months, unfortunately. Poppa cat Alucard is fixed, and we’re scheduling the momma Oreo next for her health, so we’re not worried about any more showing up, lol…but six cats is just a lot of cats for us in the long term.

                                        My son and I adore these little creatures and he is very, very attached to them, but I have finally been able to help him understand that at least some of them need to find new homes.

                                        The biggest issue, however, is that now that the kittens are weened, Oreo does not tolerate them, like at all. She is very affectionate with us, but has become very standoffish with ALL the other cats and will not accept them in her space, which is aggravated by the fact that they are all very playful and constantly try, which sets her off.

                                        I have been considering finding her a home without other pets, but my son absolutely will not hear it since he’s had her since she was a kitten and they have a very strong bond. I am really worried that she will continue to become more aggressive with the other cats and I feel like it’s only a matter of time until she hurts one of them or gets hurt, though. Any thoughts on how I can approach this with him?

                                          @Wizz Honestly letting go of the cat that you’ve had since she was a kitten seems unfair. It seems like she’s doing the momma cat thing and establishing her boundaries now that the kittens are weened. It might be overwhelming to her to have that many kittens in her space/face all the time. I would rehome the kittens and give momma her peace back.

                                            We can start there, but she’s also been very aggressive with Alucard lately as well. Hopefully rehoming the kittens helps, and I don’t have to come back around to it.
