    How old do you think Edith is?

    My neighbours cat had kitten in my shed a little while ago. And my neighbour just left them there! I was like umm, you, do you think you could come and get your kittens some time soon?

    She asked me if I wanted a free kitten, then she changed her mind and said she was selling them for $30. If Lady wouldn't eat it, I would love to have one, but I wouldn't want to support her.

    Any one who allows their cats to raom the roads (she has like 6 all un altered), especially when they are pregnant, aren't very good pet owners (IMHO).

    Hi everybody, sorry I've been away for a while. I've been busy buying a new house and moving and all that jazz. I've also recently started planning a wedding, everyone should check out my wedding planning thread.

    I agree. And to charge people for the products of her ill-cared for pet... ugh

    You it's supposed to cover the cost for "kitten rearing". Her words not mine!

    It took everything I had to just walk awy with out saying something. I have half a mond to call animal control. We are so over populated at the shelter, I don't know what else to do...

    My guess is somewhere between 1 and 2 years. I think this is her first litter, too.

    She was obviously a very well cared for pet for most of her life. She's never showed signs of malnutrition and her fur's really thick and glossy. Her manners are impeccable. She has a few faint scars on her ears from fighting, but nothing like you see in most long-term strays.

    My guess, is that someone had her and took very good care of her, then had to give her up. Either she ended up somewhere and ran away, or they just put her out on the street. She couldn't have been a stray for more than a few months.

    That's aweful!

    Well I am glad that she has such a good home now! Hheath you are soon going to be the crazy cat lady :p

    I don't know how you could do it. My mom used to breed German Shepherds, and when the puppies were born, and as they got older and were sold, I used to bawl my eyes out each time one of them left.

    I think I still would!

    I can see that ONLY if she's getting them their first round of shots. If she rehomes them at 6-8 weeks, like most people do, then she'll spend MAYBE $10, total, for food and litter for ALL of them.

    Kittens don't take a lot of special stuff. Their mother feeds them and does everything else for them for the first 3-4 weeks of their lives. For the 4-5 weeks they still get about half their food from their mom.

    I really can't say one way or another if she would vaccinate or de worm etc... my inclining is no she wouldn't.

    If she doesn't bother to get any of her cats fixed, then I would guess that she won't bother to vet the kittens, either.

    Heath may I ask for some advice. I just talked to my daughter. She graduates the sixteenth of next month from College. She is my baby . She is very independent, very dry sense of humor,very outspoken.

    She was in tears because she 's not sure if the career path she thought she wanted is what she wants. She's beautiful and has many friends but I just wonder do you ar anyone else who is young and in college have these doubts? She works two jobs one on campus and one as a waitress. We got her an apartment off campus and she lives with three other girls. She pays her part of the rent and now she's having second thoughts about her career. Your really smart Heath.. how can I help her.
