Ha! Same brand used to live trap a bunch of ferals that'd been killing the wildlife around where I lived. One of them had been pregnant before trapping but had given birth by the time she was caught. Knew those kitties had to be wee and thus tasty morsels for local fox, owls and coyotes. Endeavoured to find their hidey hole, get them to shelter, too, with the rest of the killers. That story's a long one that ends with me and one of the six feral, four-week-old kittens falling in love, completely unexpected result of the cat trappings. Fancy Feast was integral in our bonding, in our imprinting each other! He's now 2 1/2, and has a companion exactly one year younger, whom I adopted so he'd have company when I'm away or busy. That's another long story, how she came into the family, but no Fancy Feast in that tale. ; ) nicholasfung, there's some sort of universe-guided 'natural selection' process that I sense going on when we connect with our feline and canine loved ones. When we open our heart to that potential, the path is shown to its realization. That's love. ; ) That was very apparent, observing folks at the shelter where I adopted, as they checked out the various animals there. Something seemed to happen with specific folks and specific cats or dogs, seemed clearly meant to be. And that same thing occured there with myself and this little girl here now. Also, with her, it was foremost in mind, she was for him first, not me; she'd have to be a good fit with him. Another 'natural selection' vectoring there; they fit perfectly, after a week of slow integration. It's great what you're doing there, Mr. Humphreys. The universe is paying attention. 'Hugs and kisses!'
My IG friendos will probably be familiar with these 2 derpy faces, the majority of my stories on there feature them. Bailey (the pittie), and Debo (the doberman looking goof). They were both rescues and came from the same shelter. Together they protect the house and also wreak havoc upon it
New developments! So my wife has kept in contact with our teenage neighbor, and this week, she said that their cat's mom had another litter of kittens. (I guess the mom cat lives near our neighbor's mom's work) Apparently 2 out of the 3 kittens were already claimed (I still feel like it was too early to adopt, but okay). We are doing our duty as good cat lovers and we are fostering the mom and the baby currently with intentions to keep both. We will bring them both to the vet for a check-up and potentially spay the mom cat when the kitten starts eating solid food. The mom cat looks very close to PeeWee, my cat that had recently passed.
That's great news! Thank you for caring for Mom and kittens, and for helping the kittens to find homes! If you can, try to get the Mom spayed. Hope you will be able to keep the Mom and kitten, good luck!
We just got back Quasi’s DNA results and he is 31% Pitbull! He’s also got some German Shepherd, Mini Schnauzer and Lab mixed in.. No wonder he is so good at tug-of-war. Lol.
I wonder how a mini schnauzer got into that mix Some pet news from me, I’m getting two dumpy tree frogs later this month! No clue on what sex they’ll be, but I’m hoping at least one will be a male so he can sing me the song of his people in the middle of the night. I have the enclosure all set up, it’s bioactive so it’s been cycling nicely. Plants are getting larger, springtail population is booming, isopods aren’t doing as great but I had a rather small starter colony. I hope they’ll love it.
Would love to see a photo of the enclosure you have built. Also, was ignorant to what an isopod was, so had a Google and this came up: Not only it is fascinating to scratch the surface of how many variants of ‘woodlouse’ there are but equally that people actually keep them as pets and may pay up to $40, or more, for one individual louse. Just another collecting niche I guess!? Anyway, thanks Maddie, you promoted an interesting morning viewing.
