Rescue mission complete

smudgley · 09-12-2005, 05:08 PM

good news folks

- Today me & hubby went to the garden where the family of mom & kittens are. (One ginger kitten is with us already) We caught mommy & all the other 3 kittens & they are now all back here with me.

There is a black and white one who is fine,

there is a black one who is very spitty & hissy & will strike at you,

then there is a tabby one who bites, when I say bite - I don't mean a kitten nip, I mean a "sink your fangs in & keep 'em there" type bite

But no probs - I think they are about 5 weeks old - so plenty time for socialisation & I'm confident that before long they should be easy to handle. Another few weeks & it would have been a different story.

They've had a bath (I know this stresses them out - but if you could get a wiff of their pong - you'd bath them) They were ok & are now asleep on their snuggle pads. They have all had pilchards for tea.

Once they are dry I will frontline them & reunite them with ginger kitten who has really missed them all.

Mommy is fine, thin & hungry - but purring away.

Hope they'll soon chill out and that they find good homes............now if you could pop a couple of boys in an envelope...............

How about "horrible & horrid" for the naughty 2

Or Havoc for the tabby one as he was the only one that gave us trouble when catching them!

Couldn't possibly pop 2 boys in an envelope

- wouldn't trust RM with 'em as my post has just arrived today at 4.40pm!!!!!!

However - I will pop 2 boys on a train with a label on them immediately
