I don't care 'cause I - I'm in love!

[lizblackdog]

Cassie worried me a bit by not eating much yesterday, but it turns out she was objecting to my mixing milky kitten glop with her meat. I was warned she didn't like milky things but I figured she'd be needing it badly enough not to mind. Once I replaced it with a glop-free mixture of ground chicken backs and ground beef with heart she snarfed it down. It's the first sign of anything approaching food-pickiness she's shown so far, bless her.

There's more stuff I want to write - Mum, family, hospital, yada yada but I'll leave this entry for the kittens. Mum's looking better though.

Oh good news about your mother - yay!

...and phew! I was just sitting here jonesin' for my kitten fix. Thanks, I feel much better now. :D

hang in there

Your babies are precious beyond words. Good luck with all the other stuff, it sounds like one of those times you need to sit down somewhere and take a few deep breaths. I've been doing a bit of that lately...

I so want Callette

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

That's the one I'd like to keep, if only I could keep one. *sigh*

I'm waiting to see how Mum does. If she recovers properly - well, Maisie would probably like to have a companion and I know Mum won't be able to resist once she sees them in the flesh.

If I can't keep her in the family I'd love to keep her on my f-list. Glasgow might be tricky though.

OMG cute!!

Shona? Shona!!! :D

KITTENS!

Oh, no!

[crusherdisciple.livejournal.com]

She's already named them. She'll never be able to part with them now. ;)

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes, I know!!!

They're all named after characters from the book I was reading while they were being born (there were a lot of long pauses where nothing happened, so I brought a book, as you do) I did think of you too.

Re: Oh, no!

I really have to part with them - seven pets in a four room apartment is more than a bit much and I can't afford food or vet care for more than three in the long term.

I think I may succeed in homing them to people in my family and f-list, though...

It's been a bit stressful and intense. But this week I'm hitting my stride, I think. All the stuff that was knocking me out last week - the daily hospital visits and looking after Mum's cat as well as dealing with my pack suddenly got a lot easier after the weekend. Just a question of getting used to it, I think.

Thank you :)

Aren't they! It's been an - interesting introduction to cat ownership, this has.

What about the time she ate half a plate of food - with two different types on each half?

[emily-shore.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I suspected they were out of a book or something, given that they're not the most usual of names...

[essbee80.livejournal.com]

you could always come up for a wee holiday and bring a pressie with you

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

That was the time I tried her with the chicken/tripe mix together with the plain chicken, I think. She did eat some of the tripe though, it's just not her favourite.

nice to see you on LJ :)

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

awwww, love them all, the sweetnesses. :)

[wychwood]

AHAHAHA YOU CALLED THEM OUT OF DARK LORD OF DERKHOLM

That is just awesome *g*.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Dark Lord Of Derkholm. (http://www.leemac.freeserve.co.uk/toughdark.htm#dark) Great book.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

I knew there was one person on my f-list who'd get that! I was reading it while she was birthing them. You started me on a re-reading DWJ kick with Deep Secret. That is a Good Thing.

Am also back into Bujold - about two-thirds through Memory now. And I have a new favourite character, since she killed off my orioginal favourite. *pout*

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

She won't eat the GLOP! *cross face*

[wychwood]

Yay! *g* I approve.

Which favourites? Um, Bothari for the original?

Cordelia is totally my favourite. She is just so awesome.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

they're the BESTEST KITTENS EVER!!

[gwenhyffar.livejournal.com]

That's fine, that means she knows she is getting enough nutrients in her other food and she doesn't need it!
