Well, I've finally made the commitment to do this. I have been wanting to post about my cats for some time as they do so many things, and it is lost to me, if I don't wright it down.
I want to have a current cat in my posts, and reflect on ones who are no longer here. I do drawings of them some times and will post them as I learn how this all works.
Today I have a small mostly white female called Sugar[because she was soo sweet], who had her first litter last year. Only one lived, and she as it turned out was crippled and wasn't able to use one of her hind legs. She was three colored, and I called her Angel.
This little cat took such good care of little Angel that she made it to three months old, till a cold [no immune system] took her. This little mama never gave up cleaning this kitten even after she started eating, because she was never able to get into or out of the litter box. Angel would scurry around, dragging her hind legs, and could pull herself up on the bed. I knew at some point I would probably have to put her down, but didn't want to have to. The Lord took her quickly and I didn't have to. After she died I looked at her hip bones and there was no growth in them from when she was very small.
On to this year, I should have all of them fixed or spayed, and I'm working on it, but with so many, and gas as high as it's been I haven't been able to get all the girls done. The inturns at the horse clinic I work at, have helped with my toms and the gentle ones are all fixed now.
Sugar has one small grey baby this year, and I wasn't sure she'd even carry any, as she isn't very healthy herself, who is a cutey and now she's as devoted to this one as she was to Angel. Sugar is not very social with the other cats. This kitten is Dee Gray One, Dee Dee for short. She is a pistol, and thinks she's as big as all the others, even tho she's only 7 or 8 weeks and runs over my keyboard constantly. Right now she is outside on the front porch for only the second time, playing and worring her mother.
So long for now.
