For people who aren't friends with me on Facebook, I have been fostering a mama cat and her 5 kittens for about 6 weeks now. They are 8 weeks old this week, and I'm keeping them for another week or 2 (not past 10 weeks). I have found homes for the mama cat (Macy) and the only girl (Saylor). Macy is going to live at my Bishop's house as a barn cat and have another kitty friend. She likes other cats as long as they aren't on top of her all the time. She would do well as an outside cat, because I can tell she lived outside for a while before she went to the shelter, but she wasn't a stray, because she loves being held and carried around. I still have the 4 boys without definite homes, but I think I might be getting that settled, too. All will be to their new homes by the end of the 2nd week of November, except Saylor. Her new family lives in Idaho and my friend Tricia won't be able to take her their until around Christmas. So, Saylor gets to stay for a while longer. All the kittens are extremely well socialized, and though they are still working on their litter-box training, they've nearly all got that down. They love playing with the bigger cats, which is hilarious because, though they weigh only 1.5 lbs, they seem to think they are at least as big as Sammy, who weighs 11 lbs.
My last baby shower is November 5th. It's a joint shower with my friend Cristi, who is a month further along than me. After this shower, I can get the last few things that I don't have and then start getting everything in order. I'm very excited! There really isn't much time left until she's here. That's amazing and slightly scary.
Isn't she beautiful?
