Boudica has come a long way in just a couple weeks. She’s nearly 3lbs and holds her own against Nini when they wrestle.They’ve become best friends so soon. They really were so well behaved at the vet, Boudica was even purring when she got her shot. Next round of shots is scheduled for next month, and theey are getting spayed a week before Christmas.
Also, both Testaments of the bible explicitly say that you should be kind to foreigners living in your land
Of course. Say what you will about Zyklon Ben, he is certainly no lib
Don’t mind me. I’m jist digging through my post history to give a big fat “I told you so” to all the liberals on Lemmy.
Normally the tabby prefers the window sill behind it, or right on the counter next to it. I rarely see either cat in the bed.
St. Louis Cardinals actually
Oh, suddenly the libs don’t want me voting for Biden anymore? I’m getting such mixed signals from them
I have a ton of those around the apartment. I’ve been obsessed with her since i was in highschool.
The shutter sound is off. She just heard me walking up to her
Yeah, she’s been great. Her and my other kitten are getting along great as well! They play and nap together without any major issue. My main concern is that Bou is about a month behind Niniane in development, so she gets manhandled a fair bit when they roughhouse. Not just on size, but Nini has started climbing on furniture and stalking around the apartment when I got Bou, who couldn’t even walk in a straight line. But they take turns pouncing and chasing each other without issue. At this point i only intervene when Niniane is blocking Boudica into a litter box. I want to establish those as a safe space
The shelters are all full of cats and kittens across the area right now. But a restaurant definitely isn’t the place to just drop a stray cat. It was peak dinner time. They just walked in, dumped the cat, and left. She was probably a stray, but that’s still a terrible way to dump a kitten. Luckily the hostess loves cats so she wrapped her up and put her in her car for the shift.
It doesn’t matter now though. Hopefully she can stay with me now
I’ve got some ear wipes. Her ears were pretty dirty when i cleaned them out. I’ll grab mite drops from the store and give both kittens a treatment.
The “city” is a 17,000 person college town surrounded by corn fields. It’s a very picturesque town. Probably the best place for a stray cat to be since there’s no stray dogs or coyotes. Basically 200 year old suburb with a walkable downtown.
Yeah, that’s one of the drawbacks of living in a semi-rural city in Ohio. Niniane’s mom was a barn cat though, so i i figure she was exposed to worse when i got her. Her mom’s owner only put the bare minimum into preventative care for the cats since coyotes are such a big problem around here. Meanwhile the stray was a “city” cat, so I don’t think she was exposed to anything Nini wasn’t already exposed to. I’ll keep an eye oit for worms in the litter box, but the stray was probably only slightly more at risk for something nasty than Nini was when i got her. Either way, I’ll know in a couple weeks.
I’m thinking about Boudica, since she’s a wild little fighter. Plus it goes well with the Arthurian name of my other kitten.
Unfortunately the vets are all booked up for months around here. I haven’t even had my first scheduled appointment with my original kitten yet, so there’s no way to get the stray checked out before introducing them. I didn’t find any fleas when i brushed and bathed her this evening, and i am gonna give her a deworming pill tomorrow after breakfast.
The vets are booked up for months around here. I haven’t even gotten Niniane in for her first vet appointment (scheduled for the emd of the month), even though i got her a month ago. On Monday I’m gonna call the vet and see if i can make the visit i have scheduled a double appointment. Other than that, I’m gonna give the stray a dewormer tomorrow after she eats breakfast.
I’m all ears if you have a way to do that
I’ll let you guess who was having a lovely nap 5 minutes ago
