Rigatoni


This little charcoal gray kitty is Rigatoni. After a dramatic chase scene worthy of TNT last night, he was captured by moi. He has beautiful green eyes and will either be a long hair or a mid-hair length cat. His sister Penne is so glad to see him and they go running around attacking the crap outta each other. Prego wasn't so pleased as she is in heat. I thought she was already pregnant again, but I guess not. She gets fixed this Monday thanks to the low cost clinic found on spayamerica.org.
JS may take Rigatoni, but I suspect she'll change his name. The aparment manager or her son may take Penne. They are cute and fun to have around and I will miss them. However, my Tina cat cannot stand the kittens and now lives on my porch. I miss her more than I'll miss the kittens. I'll be so happy to have her back and she'll be happy to have her home back. Soon... very soon.. I keep telling myself.

Penne' Returns



This stealth little kitten was able to track down its mom at her safe house. Screaming on the front porch in the 100 + degree heat, I went to search. Found under some paper lawn bags, it took off towards freedom. However, it was weak from the heat. And it made one mistake, it ran into the fence and attempted to climb the fence pole. I was able to pluck the kitten off the fence pole and bring it inside. Now I have a feral kitten attempting to adapt to indoor living. I don't know if any other kittens will show up or not.

Prego is well, pregnant again and not going out much at all. I was glad to finally see her nursing the kitten after it had already been here 1/2 the day. Thought I might have to feed it myself.

To Penne', I appear like a giant, towering over her little kitten body. She thought mustang famer's red dog was huge. She doesn't know if I'm friend or foe yet. And Tina hisses at the kitten and now Prego as well.

Penne' was one of the females born. Still MIA are Ragu, Scampi, Rigatoni and Tiramisu. If more screaming kittens show up on my porch, I don't know what I'll do with them all. But somehow it will have to work out until they're ready for homes. Only 6 1/2 weeks old at this point and Penne' had no idea what to do with food.

But I'm happy as hell to see this little bundle of joy. The picture it's hard to tell, but she's a dilute calico. White, gray and light orange. So cute. I'd be glad to ship her to ya'. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery.

Ya Don't Need to Live the Name

Prego is nursing and trying to get pregnant. I didn't know cats could get pregnant while nursing. I told her she doesn't have to live up to the name of Prego. Good thing is, I googled and found www.spayusa.org which lead me to finding a low cost clinic in the city. They will spay cats that are in heat or pregnant for $5 more. After speaking with them, we have to wait until Prego is done nursing and her milk is dried up before she can be spayed. However, she can go ahead and be a little hussy and get pregnant again in the meantime. Spayusa.org is also supported by Greg Biffle and he's buddy's with Matt Kenseth, it all comes full circle in the end.

The kittens were moved outside after 2 weeks old. I think Tina growling and hissing at them prompted mama to take action. She's had them over in Mustang Farmer's field ever since. I haven't see them at all. Prego comes in every night for food, water and love and more food. Then spends all day outside. And it's hot out there, 100 degrees weather these days.

Anyhow, I'm trying to quit smoking again. I'll do another post on that issue and my latest addition to my med regime, Abilify.
