SatinKitty Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word My tounge won't go anywhere near my nose and I still bite its sides all the time. Maybe because I wore braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word Do they like to carry things off? For the longest time, Josh and I thought we were losing our minds, because these little things we'd set down wouldn't be there when we were looking for them. Turns out they were all under the futon, because the kitten had carried them off to her stash. Silly thing. I was gone for a week and was exhausted when I got home yesterday. I dropped all the luggage and some other stuff in the kitchen and living room. In one of the boxes on the kitchen table was a bag of lady fingers that my wife got for making Tiramisu. One of the cats, I suspect Elizabeth opened the bag and this morning I had at least a dozen lady fingers scattered around the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word Well, that's . . . new. Risu likes to carry around plastic bags. Josh got some video of her carrying off the empty treat bag to her food bowl this morning. It was unbelievably cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word Some of the new batch got up and came to me when I went into the bathroom this morning. First time that's happened; before they've either ignored me or tried to hide. I made sure I fed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word I'll try to take some tonight & load 'em on the memstick so I can post them tomorrow. I'll include a shot of the boarded-over storage bay that momcat got into that got my wife bit up. There won't be a pic of 5Er with this momcat. Only five kittens in the litter; two mostly black, the rest are tabby or tabby/white (like their mom). All kittens are cute; these guys are still a little spooky.

Cancer Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word As in, they spook easily. Most noises make them go for cover. Until this morning, they uniformly avoided people. We're going slow & gentle with them, and they're coming around, but after the wanton, gleeful mobbing I got when walking in on the previous batch, it's a little slow.

AliceTheOwl Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word Ah. Yes, kittens learn a lot from their mothers. But, provided they're not too old, they'll still learn to be social with people. It'll just take time. On learning from their mothers, apparently potty-trained cats can save owners the trouble of potty training the new kittens, as they teach their young that the toilet is where one disposes of waste, the same way most cats learn about the litterbox.

Cancer Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word Yeah, I've heard that, but never tried it. One of our less-ept kittens in the last one litter fell into (dirty) toilets twice and needed a warm-water-and-soap bath both times, so I've tried to make it a point to leave the lids down.

AliceTheOwl Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Re: The Last Word Yeah, that's what we do, too. But a friend of mine, who we're planning on sharing living space with, has two potty-trained cats. Which makes me wonder if our cats will swarm THEM when they're on the pot . . .
