These kittens are turning out to be quite the free entertainment, but they require way more care than you'd think something would that is supposed to live in a barn and eat mice! I realize they aren't old enough to eat mice, but they had better pick up the pace! Don't tell Farmer Ron, but they are getting a couple of shots tomorrow--if he knew I was inoculating barn cats he'd probably die on the spot. He seems to be doing marginally well considering an actual, licensed veterinarian is going to castrate little Buck in the morning instead of doing it himself (I wanted Buck to be somewhat unconcious for the procedure, considering how old he is and FR wouldn't have used any painkillers. He told me how he'd castrate the kid so that when I assist the vet tomorrow I can compare notes.................wait, what?
I've only named the kittens so that we can keep them straight, of course. It's not like I enjoy having them around. They are awfully cute at this stage though, so we'll just ride the wave.
Let's meet the defense:
This is Puddin'. She's 2 pounds 1 ounce, loves to climb high things and jump off high things. Puddin' enjoys milk with rice cereal in it and long walks in the Chihuahua pen--when the Chihuahuas are no where to be seen. This little kitten, which we think is a girl, takes no prisoners and is the most adventurous of the home team kittens.
This little girl (we think) is named Pork Chop. She's very pretty--and knows it. Pork Chop is always game for anything, loves the kitten crunchies we feed them, and her hobbies are playing with mouse toys and jumping around on cardboard boxes
This dashing little gent (we think) is Pot Pie. He is feisty but sweet--wonder where he got that from? Pot Pie enjoys chasing his sisters, climbing on the HUGE kitten climber pole/jungle gym his grandmother (GD) made for him, and eating leftovers.
And there you have it: Black Squirrel Ranch's defensive line up for Fall 2012. Let's have a good [mouse] season folks!
