Well, she’s quite a charmer, living up to her namesake and all that. My toes have never been cleaner, though she seems to think my big toenail doesn’t quite belong, and gives it a little nip after a couple of licks.
As she’s settling in, she’s truly demonstrating that she’s a cat. She is [...]
Well, last night I dreamed that Gypsy had eleven kittens. Eleven! After a quick internet search, the average is 6 but can be as high as 15. Note to nature, a cat only has 8 nipples! Furthermore, nature, if you’re listening, four kittens or fewer would be *just fine*.
Gypsy’s [...]
Look at the cute little fuzzballs… we brushed Gypsy and got a huge ball of hair from her!
Did I have you going, even for a second?
Please help us, we’re so desperate for kittens that we’re making our own!
We introduced Annie to Gypsy tonight and it was very successful. Gypsy was interested in [...]
We brought our new foster kitty home today. After considering a few names, including Goldie and Gracie, the perfect name came to us… Gypsy! She was found wandering, after all.
At the shelter she didn’t purr at all when picked up, and she kept looking around nervously. She’s also shedding quite a [...]
We just got word that there’s another pregnant cat waiting for us at the shelter. We’re running out there later this afternoon to pick her up! This one has no license or microchip, which is very often the case. The health wing staff told me that she’s skinny and kind of nervous, [...]
Well, this is an unexpected turn of events.
Ginger’s owners decided today that they want her back after all… so in a few minutes the Animal Protection Officer from the SPCA is going to come get Ginger and return her home. The owners came in and paid all the pound fees and seven days of [...]
This morning Ginger was happy to see us, but no little kittens yet.
My mother is staying with us, and she has observed that from her experience as a farm girl with pregnant animals, Ginger’s tummy is still “riding too high” for her to be having babies really soon. It’s true, she’s like a football, [...]
Tonight we tried bringing Annie close to the cat condo to see what Ginger would think. Since she seemed unfazed, we let her out. She walked over to Annie and stropped against her. Awww. A few minutes later when Annie surprised her she did growl and bat the air toward Annie, but we [...]
As promised, here is a picture of Ginger. I had to lift one piece of bedding to get a shot of her. She has settled right in. She did meow to me and acknowledge me when I came down, but she was quite content to stay in her little nest. I [...]
We are pleased to announce the safe arrival of the lovely Ginger, a ve-ery pregnant white and orange bi-colour with lovely golden eyes. She looks practically ready to burst, and should be giving birth any day now, so we’ve thoroughly padded the enclosure, making her a little hidey-hole. Lorene is downstairs right now [...]
