One week kitten photos for Victor Tabbycat

By special request, here are a few photos of Carlo and Bunny on their one-week birthday.  Bunny is much larger and stronger than Carlo, but he seems to be holding his own, and he’s active and curious (and cute).  Bunny seems to suddenly be turning Siamese - her tail and ears turned grey today.  Neither kitten is really “adorable” right now—it’s an awkward stage, with their eyes half open, and where they aren’t quite strong enough to hold their heads up high yet.  Click on any picture to see the full-sized version at Flickr:

  3. The more I see the kittens you work so hard to save, and the more I think on your comments to my last comment here - I do think I should try my Darren out with a kitten.  You are very right in that a kitten might be much more acceptable than an adolescent or adult cat.

    I’m not sure how our Kaiser will react to a kitten. He’s got such a strong prey/hunt instinct that I tend to give him and Darren (the kitty) separate territories in the house. However, with a kitten, Kaiser may also get the herding instinct and protect the kitten instead. Plenty of GSDs do.

    And then of course, there’s selling hubby on the idea. smile

    I’ll definitely think on it some more!

  4. Prajantr, perhaps you could consider fostering some young’uns.  Not necessarily bottle-babies, as I know you’ve got a full-time job, but maybe a couple of five or six week-old kittens who are old enough to leave their mother, but not technically old enough to be adopted.  If you had two of them, they could keep each other company in case Darren decides to ignore them.  You’d have a couple of weeks to see if it works out, and if it does, you could adopt.  If it doesn’t, you can return the kittens, knowing you did a good deed by fostering.

    I don’t know Darren, but I’m sure he’ll be the least of your problems.  I have some problems with my GSD and cats, but I put up baby gates (and tall cat furniture) in strategic places so the cats have escape routes.  They quickly learn to either avoid the dog or to move slowly.  One of our older cats, Derek, walks on the dogs, under the dogs, over the dogs, etc., and the GSD totally ignores him because Derek is ignoring back.  Our youngest cat, TJ (a remnant from two fosters ago), tries to make friends with the GSD by moving slowly, staying just out of reach but touching noses, etc.  Their relationship is improving, although the GSD can still be jumpy.  I don’t feel like the dog is actually dangerous, but she’s very excitable so we’re monitoring the situation.
