The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[winteree]

night

The orange (runt) died today. I figured he would. She left them most of the night and he was obviously starved. He was really vocal today. I tried getting him to nurse, but again, she left them before he had a chance. As you can see, she isn't taking care of their feces and urine. I had to change everything today. She tried moving them to a place she was not allowed to have them due to health reasons (for the kittens) so I put them back in the kitty bed and put them under a dresser for privacy. She moved them back to the bed where she buried 4 of them in the OH's blanket. There were pee spots all over the place. What is wrong with her? I have NEVER had a mother cat be so dumb! I'll be surprised if any of them make it the way she's going.

Ahh the resposibilty of being a pet owner

It seems like a decision needs to made to dive in and intervene, or hand them off to someone who can.

I wish you success.

Today is FINALLY the day I move my NYDH babies outside. They have been residing in the garage for the past few weeks and now they are soooo ready to be outside. Then my 2 and 3 week old chicks will go to the garage to make room in the house brooders for eggs that are on day 21 of lockdown. Lots of rearranging and cleaning to be done today.

Oh and I so need to prep for tomorrows funny random posting day and mini contest night.
