kitties doin well at Funstation

yep thats right they are very close to eating solids.... infact i got word that Splash has been trying to get thr grey one to eat solids.... of course as you know the action starts when kittens eat solids... they seem to transform into play machines.... no real play from these guys yet though.

CATFREE

Ok for the first time in over a year there are no cats at my place... so where have they gone? the funstation aka Andreas place... they seem all good over there and in a months time we will start rehoming them... we allready have a few ppl interested... including Eva. Andreas flatmate is also keen on having one... the black one. Andrea has adopted Splash and will he fully hers once we rehome the kittens. I havent ruled out having one for myself... may even take two to avoid giving any away to outsiders... but ill only go down that path if we have trouble rehoming them

cats going to Andreas

Yep splash and her kittens (SPL2) are heading to Andreas place (the fun station) on thursday.  Ok Andreas place where the crash pads are (hence the name funstation) is also FUN for cats being by an estuary so great for cats to explore.  However with the exception of the ones her and her flatmate wanna keep i will be rehoming the others once they have been weaned.  Maybe a bit later... between 1 and 2 months old to allow for them to FULLY be on solids... and also to allow for the bond to weaken between them and mom (Splash).  At one month i remember Angel was a wreck so yeah prob 6 weeks... before they lose their "cute" factor in regards to kids

A SURPRISE

Ok there IS a second litter... stumbled upon Splash caring for her notsonewborns this morning in the closet of my flatmates room. So yes we have another litter of 4 hehe

I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS

The other day Splash went awol and stayed away most of the day and night... the following morning ahe returned with a worrying sign... she was much skinnier. I think she misscarried and knew it and went off to jettison the dead cargo... i was wondering why she wasnt eating much... youd think that a pregnant cat would eat more but she wasnt... and now i know why. No bodies yet and the reason is prob cos she hid them way out of sight. im not taking any action in the meantime... just incase shes raising them elsewhere... after feeding today her teets were full... dunno how the female system works but in the Lion kingdom the cycle of the Loiness resets when her cubs die and shes in heat again.... which is why after a takeover the new male kills the resident cubs... so he can get his own genepool crackin asap. dunno if it affects her milk producing cycle but i guess ill know for sure if after a few weeks she stops producing milk... and thats the time ill choose to have her fixed

Splash chillin right beside me

sleeping atm i think shes aware of the fact that her first litter (which was really pissing her off) isnt here anymore. i still need to list them on trademe btw as they are at a friends place and with her being off work atm its a great time cos ppl can come and look during the day... gonna be much harder once she goes back to work so this injury of hers could very well work in our favour

official SPL1 names

archibald - bigger grey kitten

bertrand - the smaller darker kitten, the one that was really timid

gerard - Andreas flatmates fav kitten

giles - Andreas fav kitten... the "footbiter"

Splash relaxing

no shes not dead.... just chillin. hasnt given birth yet but to be honest could be anytime. very exciting

All kittens rehomed

All of SPL1 litter have been rehomed... someone came and picked up the two gingers earlier on today.

So now the focus is all on Splash and her second litter which is still yet to be born. SPL2 may stay at mine or may go to Andreas with Splash... depends on several factors

Another person coming to pickup a kitten

a ginger kitten to be exact as the grey ones went last nite. ill get a few pics of the kitties before they go.

Splash is at mine and is still preggas... no babies yet.

ok just to recap jupiter and saturn have left the solar system... rage and fury are still running wild

2 grey kittens have been rehomed

a testiment to the effectiveness of trademe the two Grey kittens have been rehomed which means that the two ginger kittens remain... and they could end up staying if the buyer expected tomorrow doesnt eventuate.  Andrea and her flatmate are keen on keeping both gingers... but nothings final yet.  And looks like splash could be heading over there too... once her second litter has been rehomed.

This litter has yet to be born... splash is currently chillin in the hallway.... and im just about to chill in bed... bye

WAITING FOR BUYER

SPL1 at Andreas house.... here are some pics of kitten crazy play

BUSH TUCKER and another enquiry

Ok got me some bush tucker ie ROAD tucker for splash... if she doesnt eat it then ill take it to the kittens.  At she isnt eating much... waiting for bubbas to pop... which still hasnt happened... currently shes chilling in the hallway about 3 metres from me.

After the first person failed to show up we had another person express interest in the grey kittens but so far just an interest... didnt give out details or a good time to come over yet.  The ad lasts for 2 weeks... if no joy then we will prob have a break and feed them using alternate means... for me that means catching cicadas and the odd bit of roadkill... Andrea gets the main food which is from a raw cat food place.  Me, Andrea and her flatmate are thinking of sharing the costs of the food process.  If we keep em for much longer we are also thinking of doing the unthinkable... snip snip... andrea reckons its better for the boys to be done as its less invasive than the girls... but leaving the girls undone still leaves them open to advances from stray cats... which are nearly allways toms.  This is why im gonna get splash done after this litter.  But first it has to be born.

NO SHOW

person didnt turn up today to pick up the ginger kitten. in other news splash still hasnt popped yet

Still no babies

Splash has gone for another wander... no kittens yet. Also yet to put an ad on trademe for SPL1.

Splash gone walkabouts again

normally i dont worry but when shes this close to popping im quite surprised she did... and its cooled down quite a bit as well... i would imagine that it would be better to have kittens im the relative warmth of the retard house... which is known for its high temps. but anyway she half ate her food and i havent seen her at all this morning

BORN TODAY?

As mentioned on facebook SPL2 could be born today. Splash has been in that position under the table for quite a while now and is on her side. I brought up her litters all by myself SPL1 was cared for bu me... Emma who still lives here but is nearly allways elsewhere did occasionally visit but i think the replusiveness of the retard house aka MASCULARIUM was enuf to keep her away as this time it wasnt her cat that had them... any way SPL1 aka L4 is now at Andreas place... a much better place for them. SPL2 aka L5 will also be heading over there along with Splash once SPL1 have all been rehomed.

SPLASH looking comfy

it will be interesting if she decides to have her litter here. This is out of the way and pretty safe... i allways like guessing where shes gonna have her babies... this is the last litter she will have. Emma let her cats have two and i decided to let splash have the same. I remember about this time last  year i was trying to get her into the cat box so she could get fixed but she put up a heck of a fight so i decided to let her have her two litters. 

As mentioned before allways exciting when the babies are gonna be born.... numbers, colors, genders and of course place of birth. i didnt witness SPL1 being born... infact of the five litters ive had here at RH (retard house) i only witnessed one being born and that was ANG1 im october 2011... both me and Stipe witnessed the births... ANG1 aka L2 was a litter that we named after the flatties at da time... which of course was Mark, Emma and Aston. Stipe moved out before we named the kittens... 3 males and 1 female... the excess male was named batman due to his face markings. I partly witnessed ANG2 aka L3 being born... didnt witness the females being born but witnessed the lone male Cookie aka Piglet being born in my room an hour after the ladies (catwoman, katie and whiskers). For the record Whiskers and Katie are still around here somewhere and ive seen Katie around several times.

BUSH TUCKER

Ok me and Andrea been checking out that place that sells raw cat food.... basically bush kill like possums n stuff. Anyway Andrea got some the other day to feed the kittens (which are at hers) and also got some for splash... who of course is still at mine. As you know we are giving the 4 month old kittens away... hopefully will have move success once i finally sort my trademe account. in the meantime Splash is gonna remain here.  The first cube is thawing out in her bowl now but as yet she hasnt made any real effort to eat it.... also supplimenting her diet with the remaining food i have plus the odd cicada... which is prob quite filling as insects are packed with protein... they are basically all muscle. 

As for Splash... i reckon she could have her second litter whilst im on hols.... next 7 days. but yea Splash will eventually be moving to Andreas... leaving my place (retard house) to be cat free.... however  i will be documenting the happs with friends pets... especially on my main website.... anyway welcome to all of you who have come here cos of my facebook link and yes this is THE place to keep up to date on splashes pregnancy
