My goodness, please dont OD them

Well the poop problem became a nightmare, the washing machine almost died of overwork and 3 days of panacur and still the kittens are fighting each other for food,I think maybe they are Piranhas disguised as kittens.
In 13 days they have had Milbemax, Stronghold and 3 days of Panacur and still the problem is not resolved though I must admit I am beginning to see a light at the end of a very long tunnel.
I will be reviewing the wormers very carefully now as I am not so sure Milbemax is as effective as its made out to be.

Well the poor little loves, they had Milbemax wormer last week, stronghold yesterday and now they have to have a 5 day course of Panacur liquid,I`m sure they and their mother will be very co operative while I syringe it into them; somehow I think the poop problem is going to get worse before it gets better.

Just off to vets with 3 of these lucky ones I am smiling still just- poop poop poop and more poop, am hoping he will give them all a steroid jab as I have tried everything and failed thus far.

Fingers crossed for them all.

I split this family up yesterday as mum was beating her kittens up, despite being wormed there are major food problems going on and the poop everywhere was getting me down. Mum is now in a pen on her own and this morning I carried in my large tray of food and dishes left to get the water jug and mum(Jess) has put her paw through the mesh door stolen a satchet bit a hole in it and eaten half in less than a minute, when I snatched it away she showed her disapproval. The four bigger kittens are in another pen and almost took my hands off when I put food in and attacked each other so ended up with 4 separate food bowls,they have been clean. The 3 tinies Thumbellina, Thomasina and Lilliput are in a collapsible in my kitchen yet another 3 seperate food bowls to stop the fighting and one poop in the bed;they have all had Milbemax a week ago,mum has had a second milbemax and this morning each kitten has had stronghold,they must have horrendous worms.
I will keep smiling no matter what

Oh dear, I'm not in the least surprised that I have spread confusion, as I missed out the Jonathan Swift stage of my chain of thought (Gulliver, Lilliput)!

Just done search on Bishop of Boyne and cant see connection, o dear I am becoming senile

No, I have some quirky mental connections sometimes

Jonathan Swift was the author of Gullivers Travels and he (in the words of W B Yeats) "drank tarwater with the Bishop of Boyne", i.e. Bishop Berkeley. I just liked Tara to go with Tar, but how about Sinead and Roisin, then? To keep us with the Irish genius?

I already have a Tara she is a cupboard kitten.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #35 on:** September 09, 2007, 18:32:36 PM »

You are testing me now, Teresa, but as it is the Bishop of Boyne you are going with, and we need two girls names, how about Tara (for Eire and his tarwater) and Roisin (because that is a beautiful name)?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #34 on:** September 09, 2007, 17:42:06 PM »

The boys have been Christened Gulliver and Tom Thumb.
So far 3 girls have been named, Thumbellina, Thomasina and Lilliiput; just 2 more to think of.

They are all eating well and keeping the washine machine in overtime with the piddle poop,yesterday I thought things were a little better,this morning o dearie me I felt like crying but smiled instead.
They will be 9 weeks old tomorrow.

Vet is thrilled with Thumbellina`s progress and says if she continue to do so well she will vaccinate all of them towards end of next week.

I like Tonka but dont think it right for the tweenies

Maybe an older pair could be called Tonka and Skuba

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #29 on:** September 06, 2007, 19:21:45 PM »

I am just about managing to keep track of the current residents of Paws Inn (I think

This lot are so like the cupboard cats,piddle,poop,piddle poop but I keep smiling about it because stress only worsens the problem.

The little tweenie one has been named by me this morning as she is going to vets tomorrow, I have called her

Thumbellina

bet the naming committee are disgusted.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #23 on:** September 06, 2007, 07:37:11 AM »

Fingers crossed they grasp litter training soon T.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #22 on:** September 05, 2007, 23:26:34 PM »

They are so sweet

I dont remember a year for kittens like this one, everywhere seems to be full and the kittens are still coming out of the woodwork.

Poor rescues and poor kittens.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #21 on:** September 05, 2007, 19:22:55 PM »

Tiny tweenie is up to 463 grams now,not sure whether she is Thumbelina or Lilliput yet, she is just so tiny I keep staring at her in disbelief funnily enough she is the most confident. Having an awful time with piddle and poop at least 3 are still not using the trays and washing machine broke down twice today under the strain;seem to remember saying to smile about it, we`ll get there eventually.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #20 on:** September 05, 2007, 11:09:35 AM »

Heres two of the tweenies sunbathing yesterday, they may be tiny but they can climb.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2007, 16:35:38 PM »

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2007, 09:10:20 AM »

M.M. not a good pic but you can just see what I mean re baldness all around eye,this is a vitamin deficiency.

The baldness you are speaking of is normal and as you say where the eyebrow comes from. I guess I`ve never thought why till now

Mum plus tweenies have all eaten hearty breakfast and some are using litter tray already, I think with good diet they will come on in leaps and bounds. Poor mum was very growly with me first thing but once I managed to stroke her she was calm and affectionate,guess she is another one used to manhandling.Kittens are timid but will soon snap out of it. They are certainly having great fun in the outdoor run climbing the scratching post.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2007, 08:11:13 AM »

Aww, fingers crossed for them, at least they are in a good place now.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2007, 17:47:47 PM »

Petunia has a bald bit above each eye, where her eyebrows would come from. What casues it?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2007, 17:18:31 PM »

Mum is a little too grumpy for weighing at present though she appears to be a normal sized cat just a slim one; the kittens are small through lack of food rather than genetics.
When you look around their eyes you can see little bald bits which indicate a vitamin deficiency so will buy some Abidec tomorrow and we will soon fatten them up,hopefully they should have shed their wormy bellies by then.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2007, 17:09:04 PM »

It will be easy to name them then!
That is disgustingly light for their age, what does mum weigh?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #12 on:** September 03, 2007, 16:40:10 PM »

Have just weighed the 3 smallest kittens and am in disbelief,they have all eaten so had full tummies when I weighed
430grams
440grams
451gram

Pushkin and Eugenie are 3 weeks younger to the day and at last weigh in were
511grams and 610grams on empty tummies.

I think I have the 7 dwarfs of the cat world.

Poor man, having to explain his daughters blatant disregard for an animals wellbeing.

They're gorgeous Teresa. I hope the amount of cats you get coming in slows down soon, so you can get things under control again!
