OSCARLENA: Oh I am just such a happy Cat. I have company!!! Always busy playing with the little toddlers, teaching them the household routine..hehe.. Practicing belly flops, pouncing, chasing each other, eating their food, cleaning up or sometimes I just sit on the window sill enjoying the sight! |

One day up at the horse barn I saw four tiny Kittens roaming around, just barely able to see. I kept an eye on them to see who their mom was, if she nursed and cared for the approx 10-day-olds. A few days went by, and the Kittens cried louder, appeared weaker. With the inclement weather change to a brisk cold, I ran out to buy a kitten bottle, milk replacer and a huge cage; "IMA LIL KEE", limp with eyes starting to glaze tucked away under my jackets just peeking out near my throat. I was frantic to save the Kittens. One track minded I stormed into Walmart and was greeted with the most profound Question I was ever asked: "Is this a guide animal? Otherwise.." Well. The greeter's sentence ended there...I was on a mission. And nothing had better stand in my way! Returning home with my little charges and purchases, I quickly set up a nursery in the guest room and started them on the bottle every four to six hours, introducing soft solid kitten food mixed with dry milk replacer, topped off with hours and hours of endless love and cuddles. |
The one I thought would not survive, is now my pride & joy; although another weak teacup I hoped for to recover did not. She passed on to roam in the kitten heavens........ contented looking down on us, happy to see her brother and sisters being loved, growing up with a "Cat Lady" at a happy home. |

Prologue: I was finally able to find Momma Cat, barely a year old. This was her first litter and her last. She has been spayed and continues to live at the horse barn with her cat & horse family. I encourage everyone to spay/neuter their pets, thus contributing greatly to reduce over-population and increasing the welfare of our animals. |
