Little Man Cat In Training

It's All About Playing and Biting

Little Man Photos

Hi, I am Little Man

I am Little Man From Siam and I am here to visit my Foster Momma for a few days before going to my furrever home. If taking pictures means she loves me, then she loves me lots. She says I am a wild and crazy kitten now, evident by the picher below. She will be helping me share photos for the next few days. I really love yarn, running fast, biting FM (Foster Momma,) sploring, whapping big Patches and making her hiss, and kissing FM on the lips. FM says I change daily and she sure is happy to have this time with me. I really love her, too.

Another Little Man Update

I am going to take Little Man tonight, through the weekend, as his new Mom is going to run a marathon. I can do some final bonding with him, important for me. I will be taking lots of pictures.

A Happy/Sadness

Hi.....CalicoMom here. I was all set to foster Little Man From Siam until he was big enough to g be adopted. The lady who is fostering him now has decided she is going to keep him. She has fostered many cats, but always had the will power to resist.....until Little Man.......so it is with a happy/sadness I close this chapter. I know he has found the best possible home and will be so loved and adored. I will always have a special place in my heart for my first foster baby.

Little Man Is Coming Back!!!

The Little Boy Baby Cat is going to be coming back here on Thursday, July 23. Momma is doing a happy dance, me.......not so much. I guess he is using the litterbox now, but still isn't weaned. His foster mom is going to be working on that.

Last night Squirt and Patches played THOE. Well, it was about 4 this morning, actually. They also flew over the bed. Now they are napping. I am too mature to partake of such nonsense.

I will Always Love You, Little Man

It is with a heavy heart I had to send my Little Man to be re-fostered. I am no longer able to take care of him as my stomach issues have resurfaced. I am crying as I write this, he was so special to me...maybe I am not foster material. I feel like such a failure, last night he put his little nose on my lips, his paws on my face. I can't even look at his pictures. I won't be blogging for a while. I have an appointment with the specialist later this month. Keep Little Man in your thoughts as he starts his journey through life.

Learning And Exploring

I just discovered something! I have toes and they need to be licked. My feet are also good for running, but sometimes the front ones go faster than the back ones and vice versa and I do "the drunken dance." I love to stare at my Foster Momma and "get her in focus." She laughs and calls me "her little man." She says I have an "old face, very wise and serious." She says she sees changes in me everyday and that I am very brave and like to explore, but when I hear and see her, I run real fast to her and start my motor.

Too Much Washing!!!

Yes, my chest is wet!!! Momma is always washing me; she says I am a messy eater. She put a calico stuffed kitty that Edsel's Mom gave her in my bed and I cuddle up to it. Thank you Edsel's Mom!! I love to cuddle. Momma wraps me in a little towel so all that is sticking out is my head and carries me around. I like that, too. But I don't like getting washed......No, I don't!!!

HERE I AM

Hi:

My name is Squirt, but The Foster Lady Momma calls me Little Squirt because, as I have seen, there is another Squirt here. After a few little bumps in the road, things are going great. (I hate it when she rubs my little hiney to make me go potty and I scream and scream.) I am doing my best to win Foster Mom's heart, and I think I have succeeded. She also calls me Little Man from Siam, Little One, and Baby Boy. She thinks I am going to have long furs and I already have tufts in my ears. I have really nice white whiskers and very SHARP claws. So, without further ado........here I am.

NEWS!!!!!

Momma just told us some news. She is going to FOSTER a baby Siamese from the shelter. This baby is about 3 weeks old. I guess his momma moved her other babies and never came back to move him. The people waited 24 hours (they fed him) for her to claim him, but she never did, so they brought him to the shelter. Momma is new to feeding baby kitties and is a bit scairt, but the lady who has him now is going to help her. (Momma would love any input from other foster Moms in the blogosphere.) I have a feeling this is only "the tip of the fostering iceberg." Yes, there will be pictures. Oh, his name is Squirt. Now there will be two Squirts in the house!!!! (You can see by my expression I have mixed feelings about this.)

Do Cats Cry?

Judge for yourself. This little beauty was brought in by her owner. She was up to date on shots and spayed, so she went directly to the cat room, where her owner watched through the window as her tiny life was turned upside down. Momma took pictures of her, but didn't notice, until she took them off the camera....... she had tears in her eyes!!! The next day, when Momma looked, her eyes were dry. She was adopted that day. This is Luna....

Elizabeth

Momma is just way too busy at the shelter, but loving it. She says, for the time being, we can share pictures of kitties with you. This computer is so slow and gives so many problems. We tell her she needs a new one, but we think all the monies are going to the shelter. We think she couldn't spend it in a better place. So, without further ado.......here is Elizabeth, (yes, she has one gold eye and one blue eye) who got adopted in two hours!!! Oh, and she says there are at least 50 kittens in the shelter right now and she wonders what is wrong with people????

Something For Us!!!

Momma keeps buying stuff for the shelter, today she said she got a pink cat cube for Room #1. Then, just as I was about to protest, she opened the door and brought in a blue one for us!!! It has a toy hanging on the top and smells wrong. I will have to fix that.

I found a sunny spot today and waited for Momma to get home. She was gone for 6 naps! Daddy went fishing for a few days so we are "home alone."

I have to go try out the new cube before Patches does....bye....

The "Eyes" Have It

Momma says she loves working at the shelter, socializing with the kitties and taking their pictures for Petfinder. She says it is a "happy sadness" when one is adopted. We don't understand what she means, how can you be happy and sad at the same time?

There was a kitty in the shelter that was gray, with the most gorgeous eyes Momma has ever seen. She says her name was Spazz and she got adopted (along with her best bud and sibling) almost immediately. Luckily, Momma got a good picture of this beauty. We are sharing it with you on a gorgeous Sunday morning in the Big Piney Woods. Happy Spring everyone.

A Crime In The Big Piney Woods

We have had a goose napping!!!! The story goes like this:

Mom and Dad goose #1 hatched out 7 babies on our pond. Later that day Mom and Dad goose #2 came by with 2 babies. Geese, after they have their babies, hang close to each other, but protect their little ones. However, Mom and Dad goose #1 decided 7 wasn't enough and goose-napped Mom and Dad goose #2 babies, so they have 9 now, and Mom and Dad goose #2 are very upset. Our Daddy says he has never seen this happen before. Momma feels bad for the poor parents. I wonder if they want a ransom. Maybe a sack of corn? Possibly Harley, with his Secret Agent 007.5 experience, can shed some light on this caper.

Mittens Tells All

Yes, we are still all here in the Big Piney Woods, happy and healthy, after a long winter. Momma is working at the shelter A LOT and planting her flower pots. Her tummy is good and she has lots of energies (evidently not for blogging.) She says she needs "time off" to pursue her hobbies and extra curricular activities. Derby suggested a fairy watching party; anycat that wants can come over as they are out of hibernation. Mistrie says they are making beds out of her shed furs. Happy spring to all!!

Big Piney Woods Update (finally)

Momma has been so bad about letting us blog, she uses the excuse "busy."

The following things have happened:

Momma's stomach is real good and she is eating like a normal person now, not eating soup all the time. She has cat-a-rack surgery coming up next month.

Momma is at the shelter a lot!! They had their big grand opening and last night an auction. She bought stuff, but she says it is going to stay at the shelter. It is all kitty stuff, things to decorate the walls in the kitty foyer. She also ordered a huge cat tree for the kitten room and purchased a tile to go on the outside of the building. It says "A purr is music played to the heart" with her name on it. She said she is going back to three days a week now.

The snow continues. It is looking like a Christmas card AGAIN!!!

We are all fine. Below is a picture she took of a big boy cat called Davey Jones (blind in one eye) giving a bath to the newcomer Bush. DJ had to hold him in place, he is a rambunctious one year old.
