This is a quick update. One of the kitties has not been very well since Saturday. She is the tortoiseshell baby with a line across the left eye, Dan named her Rogue. We noticed she wasn’t eating as much as the other ones but we thought it was normal, you know sometimes they eat more [...]
But there’s tuna! Last night we went to the Montreal Zday event at Concordia university. I have been interested in this movement for some time and I finally decided to be a part of it. At first I wanted to get involved in the organizing of the event but with the arrival of the new [...]
They are so lovely! It’s not easy taking care of 4 small kittens; I am still a little afraid but gaining confidence every feeding! It’s not just the babies themselves that take up a lot of time, but there is a LOT of cleaning and laundry to do. I am working on coming up with [...]
Since Mika left, Mia has been terrorizing everyone in this house. She jumps on LuLu, pulls on Dusty’s tail and wants to wrestle Bruce Lee. This has been making me sad because I feel guilty for separating her from her sister. So we let her play with us. That’s how Dan’s arms groomed, and my [...]
So after spending the whole winter protecting his good ear (the tip of the right ear fell off due to frostbite last winter) Bruce decided it was time to go back outside! We were very excited as this house is getting a little crowded. We opened the window the other night and he seemed very [...]
They arrived last night at 7pm. Thank goodness I had friends around because it was quite overwhelming. There are four kitties. Two tabbies, one dark and the other one light gray and two tortoiseshells. They were born last Wednesday so they are barely a week old. They have not opened their eyes yet. They make [...]
Dan and I both decided we miss Mika a lot. I think it may be because it is so clear that Mia misses her very much. We just can’t get over how affectionate she is…Mia gives kisses too, but Mika used to rub her whole face on mine when she kissed me…hard. I miss that. [...]
A volunteer from the Verdun Refuge for Cats came by to pick up Mika yesterday morning. She was adopted in less than two hours…of course she was, she is one of the most amazing kitties EVER. The volunteer told me Mika was adopted by a young family with two young boys and a cat. That [...]
We have officially taken our cats off the commercial pet food. They are now all on a home-made species appropriate diet. However, as much as I dislike commercial pet food I have found one treat I can actually offer my feline friends. This is PureBites freeze dried chicken and fish. Here are the reasons I [...]
This is going to be quick an dirty. Dusty ate! Don’t get too excited, she still won’t touch raw meat with a 10 foot pole, but at least she ate something solid other than pureed carrots today. This is not the best thing you could feed your cat but I am posting the recipe for [...]
