#catrescue #kittenseason #spayandneuter
Life for a kitten should be playtime and naps, but for kittens born to stray mothers disease, danger and starvation are a harsh reality. Rescues are working hard to help them and you can make their job easier by spay/neutering your cat.
Feilan is so smart. He figured this out all by himself. He's such a busy playful little boy.
Drengr and his new foster son, Feilan. They're adorable.
Drengr wonders where I keep finding kittens but he's always ready to foster another one. Such a great cat dad.
Still working on a name for little one
Check out this transformation though
What a difference 🥰
So happy to see him playful and feeling better
He's getting stronger. Such a cute little guy. He does have some vision but follows my voice at a distance. His eyes are still badly irritated so that may improve in time.
He is far more alert this morning and had a decent appetite. That's a very good sign.
2 years ago today....Kaijnut arrived!
Today was way too hot to play outdoors. So I gave out Catnip and toys in the AC. Looks like everyone had fun. Manxey was quite amazed by Catnip. I wonder if it was new to him. I left some out for our visiting stray too. It'll be interesting to see his reaction.
Sorry for the loud background noise. You may want to mute the video to watch it. I didn't realize until I'd posted that I was standing too close to the big fans in the cattery.
Embr has spent his last night as an outdoor stray. Tonight he's inside and going to a foster Thursday. I transferred him to a larger crate in the house until then.
I feed the deer and occasionally opossums, raccoons, crows and squirrels come to enjoy the deer's food too. Last week I'd put the deer's dinner closer to the cat building and the cats really enjoyed seeing them. The deer came within feet of the windows and the cats were super excited. So I decided to get some squirrel feeders and more deer food specifically for the area by the cat's windows. I think I'll get a bird bath too.the windows have mirror tint so the birds don't see the cats but the cats can watch them. Here's Gypsy Lia doing some squirrel watching.
Suite 2 girls hanging out in their new room tonight.
Salem knocked his camera over so I'll have to fix it tomorrow.
The way Isolt plays is so incredible! She listens for the ball and hits it every time. I think she likes this toy so much because they don't roll away. As far as I know she's never actually seen. She was born with eyes but the infection started about the time her eyes were opening. She's mapped out the entire house and even chases down seeing cats soley by scent & sound. What impresses me most is that cats are so capable because they only know the present moment and do not conceive of themselves as different. Isolt thinks everyone navigates the world like her. She has no clue the other cats see her. They have no idea that she can't see. How do I know? Watching them play. They will hide under things to pounce her. She will stand out in the open waiting for them to walk by. They think she can see them and Isolt has no concept of hiding from someone's field of vision.
Suite #2 is up early. When we first moved here, I purchased cameras for all the catteries but until we got Starlink recently I couldn't connect them. Getting to see their routine without my presence has helped me get to know their personalities and relationships in a unique way. It's been quite interesting. Surprisingly the 3 more submissive ones that I moved first really missed their more assertive roommates and were happy to see them return. They ran over and rubbed on them to make sure everyone has the same scent. I knew they got on well but didn't realize they were bonded enough to truly miss one another.
We moved the next 3 cats Wyzard, Spirit and Kaleigh to the new building tonight. So I was checking on them via camera and saw Ceridwynn looking at a light by the window. It was too bright to be eyes of an animal so I was thinking it could be a person with a flashlight. It wasn't until 1min into the video when Ceridwynn moved from blocking the view that I realized.....I was seeing the moon. 🤣🤣
Maybe a Lil too much mama bear energy there 😺
Isolt can do anything she puts her mind to.

I popped in to check the camera and see how everyone is doing. Look who came out from her tunnel bed to watch birds out the window!! For Isa, this is huge
The first 3 residents of Suite #2 are settling in. Jayda, Artemys and Ruby are more submissive than their roommates Gypsy Lia, Wyzard & Spirit. So I decided to give them an overnight to scent everything before moving their three more assertive roommates.
When we moved from N C I discovered that when we move cats to new environments the pecking order can change depending on which cats are introduced first. So I try to always move submissive cats to new areas first to give them a chance to claim ownership of beds and things.
