Ivan Seeking said:You should have seen our vet and food bills when we had a full house. At our peak I think it was 13 animals - it seemed like we were dropping a few hundred bucks at the vets every few weeks. And that doesn't even count the hip repairs and other surgeries that were needed at times.
Ivan Seeking said:Tsu just got home. They pooped her [I guess we weren't stimulating her enough], gave anti-nausea meds, and hydrated her. The general feeling is that this is probably just a stress reaction to being separated from mom, etc. They let her come home so they must not be too worried.
Do you think that Tsu's tongue is rough enough?Moonbear said:Phew! Keep in mind what a sandpapery textured tongue momma cat has...I think you can be pretty vigorous with the stimulation and not do any harm.
It kind of leaves you wondering, though, which is better/worse...kittens that can't poop until stimulated, or babies that just poop whenever (some days it seems the idea of getting to control when the baby poops isn't so bad...at least as long as it can be done with a wet washcloth and not require licking ).

Must be... I'm thinking that the licking time might be inversely proportional to the roughness of the tongue tongue, so you might be able to "buck up" and dedicate more time or perhaps super-glue some 220 grit sandpaper to your tongue.Tsu said:Well, THAT must be the problem!

Moonbear said:No sandpaper for Little Tyke! I think you can stick with a warm washcloth. *snatches up Little Tyke to save her from the crazy people*
Tsu said:Whatever Auntie Moonbear wants...
Tsu said:Ooo Ooo. IVAN wants a puppy!
Tsu said:That's just sad! I don't know how people can be that way. Why do you pick such weird neighbors?
Here. This should take your mind off of it.

That's really precious. She looks like a little tiger cub.

Oh heavens. What a perfect baby kitty sleeping spot that is.
I wish I got to pick my neighbors. Maybe I need to stand outside when they're showing the place and if they seem weird, I should act weirder to scare them off.Tsu said:That's just sad! I don't know how people can be that way. Why do you pick such weird neighbors?

Oh, those pictures are just precious! What an adorable snuggler!
turbo-1 said:Too cute. Animal babies love to cuddle up.
Ferrets love tunnels and tight places, and when I tucked them inside my fleece pullovers or sweatshirts, they would often climb up to my shoulders, and crawl down my sleeves to snooze. One day, my cousin dropped in for a visit, and when I answered the door, I had Popeye forearms with ferret "muscles" under my shirt. She thought it was hysterical.
I've done that with rats...other people freak out about it, but I learned it from someone else to tuck them inside your labcoat and they are all comfy and relaxed and so much easier to handle than if you're holding them just in your hands where they feel vulnerable. Burrowing animals just like sleeves (I can't explain kittens liking sleeves, but that looks like a very cozy robe she's trying to steal from her mom).
Ivan Seeking said:Okay, not a cute story, but I bet it was cuddly.
Ivan Seeking said:...and she pooped all by herself this morning! [All together now] Ahhhhhhhhh.
