I'm home from vacation.

Went over to my sister's to inventory kittens, to whit:

I'm not sure how the armfull relate to the box full, nor how many there are altogether:at least nine, maybe thirteen? Several different Moms and unknown fathers, typical barn-cat colony and yes, the females are going to be spayed as soon as the stars are aligned properly; things tend to go wrong on the days that there's an appointment for cat spaying, somehow. They range from five to ten weeks old.

I was going to pass a message to CR but will not offend him by putting it in a cattified post.

CL,

Did nobody ever caution you about making promises that your body cannot keep?

I had no idea! VERY interesting. Thank you Chickielady!

Maybe you can be a myth buster for something that I heard. A friend said that to easily integrate a teenager to the others, put her into the coop in the dead of night. When they all wake up in the morning they all think everything is peachy, that the newbie is one of the regulars! I can see where that MIGHT work in a large flock, but what about mine where newbie will be #3? Two questions instantly come to mind... 1) will the half of the brain that's awake register the "insertion"? 2) are they really that dumb?

Thanks!

yup.
But they also 'see' everthing.
So if you DO add to the coop, yes, do it in the darness.
The next day they may or may not "approve".
You may have to remove the newbie and do it all over again the next day.

Thanks Again... these birds are cute, but awfully dumb in so many ways.

Are you maybe thinking of a few days ago when somebody found 2 waterers and a feeder on CL I think they were $20 for all 3. Sorry I don't remember who else it was talking with.

awwwwww -- (catlover ...

)

several of them look a lot like my beloved Tippy, the first cat I was allowed to have (age 9)

one thought -- years later, my cat Chriseis -- 3/4 Siamese and blackglama mink color, deep brown in full sun
was routed up to my aunt's dairy farm since we were moving where he couldn't go

no, he wasn't neutered, and his progeny and descendants were SO coveted in that area, that my aunt actually made quite a bit of money, selling off these incredible mousing barn cats ... so if you introduce a few Siamese genes into the population, presto, no more rodents

Chris-cat actually took on a rat larger than he was, in our garage rafters in California .... hint, the rat did not win ...
