Aurora > Daisy

I got a wonderful email a little while back, from Aurora’s forever-family. Her name is now Daisy. In part, it says, ‘I still think it’s adorable how you called her and her littermates the “silver cuddle puddle”… She still does that of course, but now it’s with our other cats, who she has formed a strong bond with.’ Also, ‘She is full of energy and… very playful, always getting herself into trouble of some sort.’ They were kind enough to send me a picture of her, as well. She’s grown up into such a beauty — but I think there’s…

SCP Pics Overload!

Tomorrow morning, the Silver Cuddle Puddle go to the Humane Society for their second vaccinations and deworming, and then go up for adoption. I believe they’re going to the Kingston PetSmart. I’m sending them with 4 copies of a CD of pictures and videos, which will also have a link to this blog. If their new families are willing to let the babycats’ fans know how they’re doing, I’d be delighted, but that’s up to them and what they’re comfortable with. We’re going to miss them very much, they’re all so sweet and loving, although it will be a relief…

SCP Video Overload!

Just caught up on uploading videos… so many, in fact, that instead of trying to embed all of them, I’m just going to give you the links to them! Sorry if that’s inconvenient for anyone… Still working on pics, I have a pile more to sort through and choose the best to resize and post.

SCP Update & Pics

The Silver Cuddle Puddle are now all in the ballpark of 1.5 pounds of incredible energy, confidence, curiosity, and cuddliness. I’m very proud of them for figuring out how to eat wet food and then moving on to dry food, and for figuring out the litterbox — all with no mom to teach them, and before we let them start spending much time with the other cats! Aurora was the first at the wet food, first to use the litter box, first to start playing with toys… she’s generally the one who works things out and then the rest imitate…

Catching up – The SCP Get a Bath

Oh no! These were uploaded to YouTube over a week ago, and shared on Facebook, but didn’t get posted here!!! The kittens, having had some diarrhea and no comprehension of the litter box, needed to get cleaned up a bit. Kate: Zephyr: Aurora: Ryu: Original post blogged on b2evolution.

The SCP Running Wild!

The Silver Cuddle Puddle – Ryu, Kate, Zephyr, and Aurora – are on the loose, in our messy and cluttered apartment! Cory’s having the time of his life, and the big kitties are fleeing in terror! For the record, the SCP have been here for just about two weeks now, and have shown no sign of illness. They’re pretty much guaranteed to have worms, and granted they could be carrying something that isn’t showing — but it’s a balance because they need to learn more about socialization than they’re going to get locked in the back bedroom alone except for…

Meet the Silver Cuddle Puddle!

We’ve discovered that they aren’t at all sure what to do with food or litter, although they’re certainly nursing from a bottle with excellent appetite! They’re stronger and more active and inquisitive almost by the hour. Every time I feel guilty leaving them alone, I remind myself, they have a whole room, not a cage. They now have names, and to make it simpler to tell who is who, I made them coloured collars. Don’t panic — they can’t tighten, and they’ll slide over heads or simply come loose under much pressure, but they’re heavy enough to be hard to…

New Foster Babies!

So. I don’t even have time and energy lately to keep up with posting Cory pics and videos. What do I do? I bring home 4 new foster kittens, of course. Yes, four. They were dropped off at the Humane Society as “strays”. Strays that understand food bowls and are accustomed to being handled… draw your own conclusions. They’re approximately 4 weeks old, and I’m still trying to determine exactly how weaned (or not) they are — they do nibble Royal Canin Babycat kibble, but three of four also suckled on a bottle of KMR quite eagerly, and they haven’t…
