The Revolving Kitten Door

It’s been pretty busy around here since Mom last blogged. Let me get you caught up. Fat Albert returned to the MSPCA and was quickly adopted. Yea Fat Albert! Melon arrived because he was constipated. He is a Manx (no tail) and they can sometimes have problems with their bowels. He had to go back to the shelter for medical attention when his constipation turned to diarrhea. He’s doing OK for now but has to stay there for extra attention. He was a nice guy so I hope he gets better. Annabeth slept over for a few nights. She was supposed to get fixed but she didn’t weigh enough so she got to have a sleepover with us for a few days. She was fun!

After Albert, Melon and Annabeth went back to the MSPCA, Mom brought home 3 orphan kittens. All girls; 2 stripey ones and 1 tortie. They were very shy when the got here. I tried to tell them how great it was here but they had to figure it out for themselves. One of the stripey ones is now so affectionate she’s a bit annoying! They are about 6 weeks old so they won’t be here long.

Mom also brought home 2 more babies to add to the group. They are only 4 or 5 weeks old. They lived outside with their kitty mom, but she was mean so the kittens came to stay with us. They are really sweet and settled in quickly. How could you not love that face??

And me, I’m Chadwick, Chad for short. Mom says I’m a hot mess! I was a stray. No mom; no sibs. When I arrived at the shelter I had a very bad eye infection. It was going to have to be removed so I came here to wait until my surgery date. A few days after I got here I broke my ankle. Mom was pretty upset. I refuse to tell her how it happened and I have sworn all the other kittens to secrecy! Conveniently I was already scheduled to have my eye operated on so when they knocked me out they put a cast on my leg too. To my surprise when I woke up I found I was missing an eye, I had a splint on my leg, and my testicles were gone!!! To add to my embarrassment they tried to put this crazy cone thing on me. I figured out how to get out of that contraption pretty quickly! I may look a mess but I am a hardy boy. I have not gotten sick (other than the eye) and have lots of energy. The cast doesn’t slow me down one bit. I can run as fast as any kitten here. Jumping is a problem because the cast doesn’t bend but I can climb with the best of them! You should see me scramble to the top of the cat tower! Once my cast is gone you better watch out!
