Yes..cause this is the reason I am not as active, and will be for the next couple of weeks.

Well, it seems I have become the mother of 4 kittens, their mother, Snowy, our cat whom I rescued from being hauled to the shelter, has disappeared. I've been reading all day on how much kittens should eat, milk-wise, how much they should weigh and all of that other fun stuff. I didn't realize that this would be a feat in it's own..I should have known 4 kittens would be a huge responsibility. I keep telling myself to be thankful she has just turned up missing, and not like..2 weeks ago or sooner. At least they can begin to wean next Friday, July 4.
I am so tired right now. I just got through feeding, tending to their eyes and bathing the four babies, all of which fought me when eating. I bought a tiny animal bottle at Wal-Mart so that I could get something down them, since Snowy has been gone for who knows how long and these kittens are starving. You couldn't tell it by looking at them though, they look healthy, and they certainly don't want anything to do with the whole milk I am giving them. One of Joels brothers in lodge is a vet, so he called them today to see what we needed to do. They have a kitten supplement powder that's like $20, so Joel is going to go get it Monday on his way back from work. Until then, I guess I'll have to force this whole milk down them. :C
It is nice to see their litte personalities coming out now though, the little beige one's ears, legs and tail have turned to flame point, so that's one pretty little baby. The striped one /always/ has to be first, and is the loudest of them all. One of the white ones is sweet, and likes to cuddle and the smallest white one [the runt] is very content and doesn't cry alot, I may keep her. She's also the furriest and has received the name "Tasha", she just looks like a Tasha to me.
So anyways, I need to go to bed..another long couple of days ahead of me, tending to these orphaned kittens and my sick husband. :/ Hope you guys have a good weekend!
(Ignore the "lazy" mood, I cannot get the stupid thing to change)
