Thank you! I appreciate your response.

Here is the current info:

I have to wait for the mama kitty to leave because she growls and hisses at me. I am afraid of her. When she is gone, I rush out there with the antibiotic ointment for their eyes and hurry up and get them doctored. :D The only bad thing is that they are now beginning to hiss at me too. And growl. Their hisses and growls are not nearly as intimidating as hers. BUT...I am guessing that by the time a week has passed, they will be a force (of claws and teeth) to be reckoned with as well. Right now, even though I know they can't hurt me, there is something about that little explosion of air that bursts out of them that make you instinctively withdraw the hand. LOL Mini breath explosions. I had to laugh at myself over that one.:p

I actually ended up with two of them here in the house. The other one I brought in wasn't as sick as the first one, but is much smaller. They are skinny. I am trying to fatten them up. I bathed it and got off a few fleas. They are both black so the fleas are hard to see. I don't want Sassy to get fleas so I have them in my bathroom. My best friend is a rescuer of all distressed kitties, and she is coming in a few days to show me how to de-flea them. She is a real cat lover and very experienced in all of this. I can't wait for her to get here.


Meanwhile....live and learn, eh? They are so tiny!

Thanks again. :)

aww best of luck with all of this! As they get older, you might want to try putting on gardening gloves or something really THICK like that so momma can't get you. :p

Best of luck. Thank you for helping these babies!

That's a really good idea, and Thank You! I almost peed myself today in a small skirmish with her and them. LOL

Grief! That rough, huh?:)

Hang in there, St. Francis!:cool:

LOL :p

You can scruff them to pick them up when they are hissy. If you handle them every day they will calm down. Kittens tame down fast. Dawn dish detergent is the best thing to wash kittens in to get rid of fleas.

Yep...that's what they are alright...hissy. :)

I am not really afraid of the kittens. But mom...now she has some very sharp looking fangs. She like to show them to me. :eek:

I actually tried to ignore her and go to them anyway...but....had second thoughts on that. She wanted to attack me. :( I did medicate them twice yesterday but she has been there all day, today. I am afraid if I upset her too much, she might move them and then I would have no chance at all to try to help them.

Thank you all so much for your supportive words. I tremendously appreciate every one that posted.

Bless you all.

wow i just read this whole thread and i'm at the edge of my seat! i hope you get the other three in your house! can you post pictures of the two that you have? how are the feedings going?

I have begin them on some very soft food I got from the vet. They don't want the bottle anymore so I put the kitty formula in a small bowl. I go to them frequently to show them the food and milk again. They generally partake every time I do this.

Miss Sassy is extremely interested in them but her interest scares me a little. She isn't exactly mean but sort of bossy acting. Leaping at them and the like. So I have to be a hawk.

I brought them into the kitchen where I could put them behind Sassy's gated off area so they could wander around. Lost one! :eek: Panic time! I looked under the fridge,,,cover on that, no way it could fit. Looked under the stove. Nope. Nowhere they could get anywhere like that. Hmmm. Didn't consider it going right through the barrier. After I found it the first ime in the living room, I watched the second time and caught it. So, that won't work for them until they grow some. :p


Photos as requested, coming up. Tiny babies! The one of Mama was at the end of her display. You don't get to see ALL the teeth like I do. :eek:

Mommy looked so fierce in the 2nd picture :) The greyish kitten on the far left in the last picture looks beautiful!

She does look fierce there, but you should have seen the full display! Yowzer!

Do you want that little grey one. I'll ship. :D

ETA: Totally free. All you pay is shipping. LOL

Awwww ... They're pretty cute. Looks like Sassy has some siblings. :)

They are beautiful!

Mommy looks like my old cat Muffin...and the little grey one in the middle looks like my old cat Smokey when he was a baby. I want him/her. :p
