If you're looking for the vac online, some things may be messing you up over the weekend ( Read more... )

I can blow bubbles through my new nose piercing. Had I planned on getting my nose pierced, I might even have amused myself by planning ahead and bringing bubblestuff, but instead, I lay down to sleep. Ten minutes later, kitten stuck in my nose, left side, just behind where a proper nose ring would go through. Strange. Didn't hurt much at all, just ( Read more... )

Somehow, while I was out working, house hunting, and visiting with deadcat_vagrant, my kittens went into the bathroom to eat, drink, and make merry. I keep their food and water in there, you see. They closed the door. Trapped in the bathroom for who knows how long, they peed in the shower and made a communal poop-stack carefully placed in front of the sink, and ( Read more... )

So, post vet, there are in fact only two kittens. One of 'em's a lot firmer than the other - to the point that I'm syringe feeding one of 'em when it's unable to find the nipple in front of its face. This works, but I’m still working with it so it’ll eventually nurse normally - I hope ( Read more... )

So, mama cat's off to the vet since I can't figure out if she's got more than two kittens in her and she's all flusticated regarding her kitties. That latter bit I expect will sort, but she's demanded my personal presence with direct physical contact since some time this morning. The two kittens that are out, she's not entirely sure what to do with ( Read more... )

Kitten number two just arrived. I hear mew, look down where I've only just set the box back on the floor, and mama cat is spinning in circles mffffing back at her kitten, who's half out and... pop! Kitten! Happiness ( Read more... )

Because I might forget: If there aren't kittens by dawn, my vet's assistant friend says, "Get cat to the vet."

C'mon mama cat, if you don't stop washing my arm, you're gonna break skin.

EDIT:1) Despite my deep desire to not be waken at four AM by the kittening process, I may not squeeze the cat like toothpaste ( Read more... )

The pregnant cat on my lap had her water break around 4:10. She’d dropped her mucus plug in the closet where the initial box was set up in the closet of the bedroom of the folks I’m working with - and then, shunning the box, she broke her water next to the sleeping person. T’other person cleaned the mess since this is my downtime, and brought kitty ( Read more... )

Well now, just back from a wake for a relative who died this spring - got to see a number of relatives I haven’t seen in ages, which is always a good thing. Not much of note except I was, so near as I can tell, the only one who wasn’t drinking, and I eventually gave up and had a beer since there was bugger all else to drink, excepting the ginger ( Read more... )

Some kind soul on IRC just let on that while the kitten sandbag gun is a fairly modern idea, cats have been used as silencers since before 1950. Postal 2, a videogame famous more for its prequel, Postal, and its hyena-ous violence, even attempts to use a cat as a silencer for a shotgun, with less than pretty results. For obvious reasons, the cat, ( Read more... )
