Dying Kittens in Landfill Woodpile Tempted to Safety with Kippers

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.goodnewspost.co.uk/dying-kittens-in-landfill-woodpile-tempted-to-safety-with-kippers/

Just a quick PSA if you are going to get a cat, please get them spayed or neutered ASAP, especially if you are one of these people who are going to lose interest in them after they've grown up.

Addendum: there are actually 4 kittens - 3 black (2 female, one male), one fluffy grey girl. One little girl is still quite shy, but getting better every day.

Also, ever tried to name 3 identical black cats consistently? It’s fun, I assure you! “Oh hello Ebony” [tail lifts] “Sorry, Edwin”

And yes, the vet nurse was a bit keen when wielding the clippers for the spaying operations! Usually the shaved patch is much smaller. No harm done, fur grows back and it’s nice and warm here in the UK

Here’s some pics of the latest rescue fosterkits chez-Thirstybear. Second litter of the year. Unusually these little ones were separated from mum as soon as they were weaned because mama cat is a true feral and was teaching them bad habits - the language they were using when they first arrived was shocking!

Anyway…the intervention was in time; the feral-ness hadn’t fully imprinted, and they are now used to people, and all are purring little fuss monsters.

Her majesty just loves yeast extract (Marmite).

Another day, another litter to socialise. This time 4 semi-feral kittens, approximately 6 weeks old. So far, so good, although they swear like troopers.

Me: Why are there teethmarks in my ethernet cable?

Also me: Oh. Kittens. 🙄

Another wire I need to wrap in protective plastic <sigh>

Did a training run this morning in preparation for my miles for moggies run (see @NyakoKitty for the donation link, appreciate any help) and these are the views seen along the way…

I'm taking part in the #CatsProtection #BigWinterRoam event, which aims to raise money and awareness of the work they do helping homeless and unwanted cats. Cats Protection also lobby the government to improve legislation affecting cats, and were instrumental in making microchipping cats mandatory in the UK.

Throughout February I'll be recording all my outdoor and gym walking, aiming for a total of 75-100 miles. Each day, two of those miles are spent feeding and providing shelter for a #StrayCat.

If you'd like to #Donate to this cause, a link to my JustGiving page is below - every penny goes directly to Cats Protection and qualifies for a 25% boost from the UK government. I'll be posting regular updates of my progress, and you can donate a fixed sum or wait until the end of February and donate based on the number of miles I complete.

Please boost!

I really like the #CatsProtection system in the #UK. #Canada should do something similar.

My memory of 2023 will be of this frightened little chap who turned up in our back garden and with the help of https://cats.org.uk took up permanent residence. #catsprotection #catprotection

He is twice the cat (weight wise!) now than he was then 🤣👍🐈‍⬛

Happy National Black Cat Day #UK.

On #NationalBlackCatDay here's a poem by the excellent @brianbilston

"I'd never given much thought
as to why black cats
are considered unlucky

until that terrible day
when one crossed my path
and it suddenly struck me."

My own black cat approves.
