I'm so excited. I love kittens. I have always had two cats and my Sophie died over a year ago, so I knew it was time to take on another to keep Betty company (I hope LOL).
Anyway, she's only 2-3 weeks old, so I can't have her yet. A bunch of weeks ago I told this girl that if she ends up with a Calico, it's mine. Well wouldn't ya know, there is a Calico amongst the litter!
She plans on taking them all to the shelter, so I told her that as long as she is eating solid food EXCLUSIVELY then I will take her early...I have a lot of experience with very young baby kittens, not that it replaces the mom experience, but she doesn't want to hang on to them.
My only concern is the dog. She is used to cat sisters, but not itty bitty ones. I don't want her to think she can rough-house with her like she does with Betty (she's a Catahoula, so has a strong prey-drive), but maybe her momminess will kick in lol. But I will have to keep the baby in a room while I am not home. Not sure how else to do it.
