catt i think she is in texas now from what i have seen her post
Where are you? I have a kitty condo I can lend you.![]()
How is pointing out the hubris of EmptyTimCup, for thinking God brought you a kitty just because you had a desire for one, belief bashing? :shrug:
I took his post as God providing Sonsie to save the kitten. It was Satan in the heart of the kitten thrower that caused the pain. God is doing his part in bringing Sonsie to the Amaya.
Welcome to the Hotel SoMD.comThanks for the offer catt but as jp said we moved to SoTX last year. I just couldn't let all you guys go!![]()
Sonsie, I hope you're feeling better. How's little Amaya doing? Oh, and if stickers won't work for the kids - maybe put some little incentives in a basket or whatever. Then if they go - they can choose one. (things like burger joint toys, small pack of crayons, or dollar store stuff, etc.)
I'm recovering, I think I ended up with a bit of a sinus infection actually. Amaya is fine. When I was policing up her bin today and I laid her down on her towel outside the bin. In the few seconds it took me to fill she shoebox lid with fresh litter she climbed into my big cats litter box and did her thing in there.
As far as my kids, well they were born constipated it seems. Neither of them do #2 easily and I won't go into great detail but lets just say we've tried every med, behavioral, and food option to get things softer and easier and nothing worked long term except stool softeners which isn't the best option for long term. We spend a lot of time nightly sitting in the potty trying to get a little effort on their part. If we let it go for even a few days it's like they are trying to birth a softball.
Sorry no updates, I've got a wicked head cold and 2 small kids who won't poop even for stickers. Such drama around the potty here. Amaya is doing just great, I'm going to have to find a screen to put over her bin. She is getting that look in her eye that tells me she is gonna try the great escape soon. I feel bad confining her in so small a space but it's necessary if she is going to make a full recovery. She is already turning her nose up at kibble, she prefers the canned food by far and she is starting to fill out some with the steady food intake and enforced leisure. She is doing her thing in the litter just fine and isn't as wobbly. The first few days she was spilling her water and falling in her food. The best sign is she isn't having any more blood in her stool. The vet said it was normal after such trauma and sure enough it's finally stopped after 3 days of little bloody butt prints on her towel. The road rash on her chin and jaw is all dried up and scabbed over with no sign of infection or problems either.

Not a great picture, taking a photo of a black cat indoors with no natural light presents interesting problems. From any distance you get a black blob with two glowing eyes and no detail. Close up you get detail but she squeezes her eyes a bit with each beep and flash and they glow green or red depending on the angle and even her fur is a little too reflective. Anyway here she is sitting up with her furry pink monkey behind her.
Remember the scrawny stray kitten I saved a few months back with the broken pelvis? Well she has made a full recovery and is a toe-terrorizing monster and complete lunatic. Oddly enough she really doesn't meow, she trills up and down the scale in kind of a musical way. She is a fearless little thing who fell in love with the dog at first sight, lets the kids carry her around, and is always underfoot and up in my face. A wonderful addition to the family. She is going to the vet to be spayed this month before she goes into heat again. Here she is in my craft room interfering with my Valentine's Day project.
