Feisty & Frantic?


I somehow managed to fix my camera yesterday yeay!! Rampage knocked it off my desk a couple weeks ago and it would only turn on in one direction and immediately turn off as soon as it was tilted. Took it apart almost completely and kept fiddling with pieces and put it back together and that did the trick woohoo!

Bandit was nice enough to let me take a couple pics of her little ones today. I haven't named either of them yet because I don't want to get too attached since we might be finding homes for both. Bandit hasn't attacked me since I got home from Canada Saturday afternoon but I am still very leery of her. She definitely is in need of a home with no other pets or children just to be safe. I'm really hoping and praying they don't put her down. I'm going to wait until the kittens are at least 6 weeks old and then have Bandit spayed. Hopefully it will change her disposition and she will become a loving and sane kitty but the chances are slim because she's almost 5 years old.

As for her kittens, for now they're nicknames are Feisty & Frantic from Red's suggestion to match the pack heehe! The one on the left so far I think is a girl and the one on the right so far I think is a boy. They are still really young for me to be 100% certain and I'm not very good at determining it - poor Rampage and Bandit can attest to that! We rescued Bandit when she was 4 weeks old and the vets told us she was a boy and from the veterinary handbook Elizabeth lent me I thought Rampage was a boy until about 3 weeks ago!

I already know which one wants to be called Feisty because "he" has already hissed at me 3 or 4 times now. Wonder who he got that from! Frantic likes to explore and Feisty seems to want to stay close to Bandit and walk in her footsteps - uh oh!! To top it off, Feisty was born July Friday the 13th and Frantic was born 2 days later on the Sunday. So far my vote is to keep both! But someone might not be too happy with me. Ideally I'd like to find someone who will take both if I can't convince Jason to let me keep them both. I am way too attached to Rampage and am torn in having to pull the kittens apart.
They both were born pitch black but Feisty is lightening up a whole lot to more of a grey. Feisty came out a lot smaller than Frantic did, but he is catching up to her quickly in weight. They are tuxedo looking in many ways except that it seems they will be medium haired cats. Their bellies are completely white and so are their entire back legs and the paw part of their front legs.

One thing is for certain though - Bandit sure is a good mama!

Hi Julie,

Your kitties are so cute. Mamo is having dinner for Gloria and the kids tonight. I was also invited as well as the rest of the family. It will be great seeing everyone. It will be nice to see you too. Hope everything is okay with Ralek, I miss hearing from him. Tell him I am thinking of him next time you talk. Gotta run.
Aunt Susie, (as all my nieces and nephews call me)

It's Monday and I'm finally able to check in. We've had the grandchildren for a week now and are so enjoying them. Today Brandon and Katie arrived and will stay til tomorrow night. I'm at work and so have left Pepe to keep 6 children between the ages of 2 and 11 occupied. That wouldn't have been too difficult except it's 1:00 p.m. and it's now raining!
Phil and Debbie from church brought in a bag of goodies to send your way this week. Debbie teaches the teen sunday school class and she said the 2 teen girls that were there enclosed notes to send with the package.
I'm planning to take pictures of those sending things so you'll have faces with names.
Got to run for now. God Bless.

I did real well with all the kids even though it rained and kept them inside for the most part. By some miracle they all survived. :)))

We can't wait to see you next month Julie, animals too. I can't wait for you to see my flower garden. Alyssa & Andrew liked it. It was great to see them. I've got lots of pictures & video. I'll email some when I get a chance.
Looking forward to Ralek's next blog.
