Well, my mother has been talking about getting a cat (key word there... "a") since before Christmas ... today we heard of a lady down the street who rescued a cat that had kittens and the fate waiting those kittens wasn't a plesant one. So mom and I thought we'd go have a look and see if we could at least help one.
Well ...
We ended up coming home with all five kittens! That's right ..... 5.
Mom gave 3 to me to bring upstairs (probably cause I have the three kids so one each) and gave one to dad (cause it wouldn't let go of his shirt) *hehe* And kept one for herself.
We found out the SPCA will spay/neuter them for us for a small fee.
The hounds have decided they'll tolerate the new additions (but we're still keeping an eye on things) and mom's dog isn't sure at all about the new fuzzballs downstairs *heh*.
Anyhow I don't have pictures yet ... but will post as soon as we do.
In the mean time ... any suggestions, comments, etc on introducing kittens into a dog household?
So far we have the hallway baby-gated off with the cat food and litter box on the other side... the kittens can get back and forth under the gate but the dogs can't.
Any other helpful advice would be appreciated!
