Formerly Feral Friday
It's been more than 3 weeks since the momma poodin and her baby came to stay wiff us. Momma has decided to call the kitten Penny.
Aunty Leona and Uncle Stan is still trying to decide what to call the momma. I'm still not sure if they will stay heer fureffer. Grandpaw keeps saying Penny is big enuff to go to the pet shop. Grandmaw says 6 poodins is too many poodins in this howse but she luffs to hold Penny and says stuff like "She's soooo KEWT!" and "She's such a good gerl!" since she duzzent mind being cuddled. But it's sumtimes hard to ketch her cuz she's reely fast and hides when she gets scaired. All the flees are gone and thare's not too much hissing and chasing going on. The momma is going to the v.e.t. purty soon fur a checkup afore her ladygardenectomy serjery. But she's still nursing Penny and maybe the Vet will want to wait until her milk dries up.
But she's making all kinds of moaning and maowing sownds and she keeps rolling all offur the floor and rubbing against me and giffig me URJES effen tho I had my hoohaectomy a long time ago. SUMFING makes me want to jump on her and bite her nek! Momma keeps saying "Stop that!" and "Leave her alone!"

Mancat Report - The Noo Cats
It's been wun week since Aunty Leona brawt the momma cat and her baby to owr howse. The Lady used to put them in the PTU (prisoner transport unit, a.k.a. the cat carrier) when she cleened Blackie's cage ware they were liffing and she had to do this several times a day since the cat litter kept getting scratched owt of the shallow makeshift litter box, and the food and water was always getting spilled. Then the momma wuz let owt to explore a bit and we got to meet her. She touched noses wiff me and Blackie and Tiger but Tiger HISSED at her. Pumpkin duzzent want to come neer her. She seems to be a nice poodin. She effen layed down next to me. 
Then the kitten wuz let owt. Tiger made the mistake of getting too close to the kitten and the momma CHASED him hissing and spitting all the way. He had to run fur his life! THAT shood teach him to hiss at her! They dint like being locked up back in the cage so as ov Sataday, thare loose in the patio.
But Pumpkin is still staying far away frum them.

Two More Cats?
Pumpkin's Momma here: My sister Leona did it again! On Monday, she "captured" a pretty, friendly, feral momma cat and her kitten who were hanging out in her yard (the same yard where she found Pumpkin), with the intention of turning them over to a no-kill shelter to find forever homes for them. 
However, since the kitten isn't old enough to be weaned yet, the shelter won't take them. So guess where they ended up? Yep, you guessed right if you said our house.
She says this is just temporary. We just need to keep them until the kitten is old enough to be weaned. But I have a sneaking suspicion they might be permanent residents. Pumpkin and Tiger are not happy AT ALL! Pumpkin, in particular, is keeping as much distance as possible between himself and the intruders in the patio. 
Blackie's cage has been comandeered to house the new cats since we don't know if the mother will attack the other cats to protect her baby.
Blackie doesn't seem to mind too much but she's not happy that she gets booted off whenever I have to feed the cats or scoop the litter box since the cage opens from the top. 
Leona thinks the kitten is male. I think it's female.
I'll have to take a closer look again but the poor thing is just CRAWLING with fleas! We treated the mother with Advantage but the kitten is too little and we'll need to keep using the flea comb on him (or her). Pumpkin, Tiger, Bebe and Blackie are due for their monthly flea treatment too which I'll need to do to keep them from catching the kitten's fleas. So, for now, we're a 6-cat household!
