We went expecting to take one and ended up with two(I know I said no more cats but Sushi REALLY needs a playmate!). Sigh. I'm such a sucker for a cute kitten! I think its probably in their best interest to be together for at least another month. The move is stressful enough as it is. Little babies had kind of bad fleas unfortunately but they seem totally healthy and active other than that. I attempted a warm bath with the first kitten - ohhhh no. Not having it - NOT ONE BIT. I don't blame it at all. Lol. I managed to get it wet and annoyed and pissed off - not so much clean and flea free. I really thought it might bite me for a minute. I had that nasty experience with the feral kittens so I was cautious and let it alone to calm down a bit before touching it again and trying to soothe it. It crawled into my shirt and laid against my heart. I almost cried. Gosh. I felt so bad. I even had hubbers try to help - its so much harder with long haired cats. We flea combed what we could off of them - got about 8 of them or so, a good start. They definitely were fidgety and unhappy with what was going on though. Poor babies. I applied a small amount of kitten flea killer on each of them and separated them until it dried, and even dried them a little more to be sure. Then put them into a confinement area where they are together and contented for now. They didn't try to lick one another which is a plus. Supposedly most flea treatments work within an hour - so I've heard. When I check them in the morning we'll see if this is true. I gave them some wet food and some water. I think we'll get them on the wet in the next few days and make that mostly their diet for the next week before mixing it with the dry. I can tell they'd like something to crunch on though! I will definitely upload some pictures of the sweeties tomorrow when I've had some real rest. I sure do need it. The finals with James has just taken it all out of us. We need sleeeeeps. Meow. By the way - the cute pic spam below is NOT of our cats. Lol.
