    kittens driving me mad!

    I must say, I MUCH prefer fostering ONE kitten over a whole litter. They're about 4 weeks now, and though they've always refused the bottle, they still try to find nipples on each other. Of course none can produce milk, so instead they try to nurse on each other's penises! I'm so thoroughly...

    One good reason

    to spay and neuter your pets. I watched a small 4 week old kitten die today. He was a little orange male. I went into the Isolation room after feeding all the healthier cats in the main cat room to find this little kitten that looked like it was dead, lying on his side. He was skinny and his...
