No mention that she's not using it. Then again, she's the only indoor cat there, so there's no territory issues.

Spot has learned to stick his butt up in the air. Getting more and more cat-like. LOL. (He's still my favorite.)
They all do the cat-stretch. It's just cute when alty does it, because she's so tiny. I can still hold alty easily in one hand.
The only times they look kitten-like anymore is when they're sleeping or playing. I kind of miss the fuzzy kitten stage, but they're turning into beautiful cats.

Unky - 13 weeks
Wow, they are really starting to look like adult cats. And that pic just makes me like Spot all the more. :-)
They really are just smaller cats, now.
I find myself thinking, more and more, that maybe five is a good number and I should keep alty and unky, after all. I love cats, and I love all my kitties. More than that, I love having a house full of cats. I just don't think my landlord would appreciate me having 5 adult cats.
Spot and alty are my jokesters. They'll be sitting there all cat-like and, all of a sudden, they're just jump up and go running after a sibling or mom or a fly or each other.
Spot has such a wise and playful face. Alty's is curious and innocent. Unky's is thoughtful and introspective. Zoe's is cunning and mischievous. Edith is very much the momma and goes between exasperated and plotting.
These guys give me hope and a reason to get up every day. They're the reason I've pushed through all the sh!t the past few months and gotten to where I am. They need me, which means I have to step up and be an adult. I love them all the more for it.
Aww they look great! I miss Aura! How are her and Mop doing with their new homes?
That's a very good reason :)Quote:

he's the only one who isn't prone to surprise leg tackles. The others will randomly run up and jump my leg. They're all REALLY good about their claws, though. Haven't had an accidental scratch in ages.Quote:

Thank you, like I said I just wanted some advice,without being judged... feel a bit more confident now, will let you know how it all goes..
No problem. If you have any more questions, especially as the birth gets closer, feel free to ask.
Great pictures hheath!
Unky's tail seems very long from that picture :p
Good unky, very good! You're just like your papa :D
It's the right thread. Just responding to advice given in a different thread. She has a cat that's going to have kittens soon. I posted a link to here, rather than recount the labor again, in a different thread.
Yes, sorry, I edited my post. I had to view the other posts of shumbalion to understand :o
it's OK. Taken out of context, it does seem to be random and misplaced. With all the issues with posts ending up in the wrong spot because of the new skin, it's understandable.
OK, so it's been awhile. I stopped posting weekly pics because the kids stopped changing enough to be noticed from week to week. Now, I'll just try to post pics when I take fun/cute ones.

I was FINALLY able to get a picture that shows how much bigger spot is than alty. They really don't look like they're from the same litter.

And zoe, because she was missing from the other picture.
I still WANT Zoe!
They are still gorgeous! I wish I could have a kitty! :(
I need to post a pic of my Oasis on this board sometime.
She could be sibling to Zoe and Alty!
Ya, she does look like Alty and Aura's sister!
When will Spot get neutered?
I've seen pics on Facebook. The likeness is uncanny. (ok, so I've always just wanted a reason to use that sentence ^_^)Quote:

yeah, I'm keeping a CLOSE eye on the boys. Their balls haven't even started to drop, yet, and there's no mounting behavior. I just want to get them fixed before it even thinks of becoming an issue. After that, I can worry about getting the girls fixed.
it'll be easier to get the two boys fixed, first. Not only is it cheaper to get boys snipped, but they heal faster. I really don't want to have to worry about more than one spayed female with stitches, at a time. It'll also mean I don't have to worry about my house smelling like spray.
although, the way edith's going, it's going to end up smelling like cat pee. She's peed on my couch twice in the past week to let me know she thought the litter box needed cleaned. This morning, she peed on my FOOT to get me to clean the box. A couple hours ago, she tried it AGAIN! The box is not dirty. Even with 5 cats, I do not need to clean the two litter boxes every 12 hours.
any ideas how to get a cat to stop peeing on me? A friend suggested that maybe she's trying to mark me because she's in heat. She's been in heat for about a week, and a few times before this, and never tried to pee on ME before today. I'm going to beat her senseless or put a diaper on her or something. I can deal with her peeing on the couch or spraying random things. Peeing ON me is crossing a line.
I got a picture of spot at his new job, as fan jockey.

Yes, his fur is exactly as soft as it looks, and his tail is as long as it looks.
Hmmm, maybe she wants you to be her boyfriend. Even unspayed females can spray, so be happy she's only peeing, not spraying. How about getting her spayed soon?
Yeah, boys are easy to get fixed. Thomas came home the same day from his surgery and was snapping his fingers and acting like nothing had happened. When we got the two female ferals spayed last fall, we did them one at a time and kept each caged in the garage overnight, but then let each loose the next day. Both are happy and healthy and about ready (socialized) to come indoors -- probably when it starts getting cold. They do so enjoy climbing the trees next to our one-story house and tromping around and sunbathing on the roof. We have a very cat-friendly indoors, so they shouldn't miss too much when they come inside permanently.
Did your work hours change? Or are you still afternoon-evening?
Long story short, I called in work sick, got called back terminated. Being late a couple days combined with calling off one day due to back spasms tallied up against me. Then, I got knocked out by something this past week that had me sleeping 16-20 hours a day.
Uh oh. Can you get unemployment benefits? Do you need a sitting job?
I doubt I was there long enough to qualify for unemployment. I'm looking for another, but with the money I was able to set aside while I was there, I have a month or two before it gets dire.
just getting that job has done wonders for my confidence. I'm 23, and that was the first 'real' job I've ever had (meaning one that required me to pay taxes). I look at it this way, most people get the petty jobs that don't last very long out of the way as teenagers. I'm just getting a late start ^_^
How long were you there? (The kitties are probably glad to have you home again.) I'm glad it was a boost to your confidence. I don't want things to bog down for you again.
I was only there 4 weeks.
The kitties seem much happier to have me home. Spot no longer attaches himself to my leg when I try to go outside. That may be because I'm wearing sandals, and not shoes. And I've only left the house once in the past week, to get cat food.
Which reminds me, I really should check my mail at some point.
Hheath, you aren't working at the nipple factory anymore?
Sorry, I didn't read back. I'm lazy like that.
Nope, no more playing with nipples at work. My next job will probably be more along the lines of retail. They frown on employees playing with nipples at most stores.
