Strongly agree. Several days a go a guy called Sue telling her he had found several kittens in his shed and didn't know what to do with them. He was thinking of putting them out of their misery. Sue being of kind heart told him to bring the kittens over and she would takle care of them . The several kittens ended up being 6 of about 1 week old. That means they need to be bottle fed. A few months back I had rescued a kitten from the bank parking lot also needing to be nursed. I personally cared for that kitten and actually became attached to it. We found it a home we thought would be good but the woman's mother in law tool the cat and did something with it. I don't know what. I still get pissed off when I think of what happened to that kitten and in my mind would like to do unimaginable things to that woman. I named that kitten Rocket because he loved to zoom around. He would run to me and jump on my arm to be picked up.I'm not a big cat fan but there are a few I like. That was one of them. Anyway, back to the story. Sue is nursing these 6 and they eat about every 2-3 hours. Like babies. When they get to 3 weeks old we can start them of a soft food and formula mix. Through the years Sue (and me by default) have rescued a multitude of animals and repitiles, mainly tortoises, kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, fish and a few potbellied pigs. Having a kind heart has its consequences. I didn't want any new animals when we moved to this house but that didn't seem to matter to someone. We are cruising in two weeks and I hope Sue comes up with a plan for the kittens. Our regular pet sitter takes care of the rest of the menagerie and Sue's office girl takes care of the nursery cats and fish. Like my chore list that will last me through my lifetime, so will some of our long living pets. Harry, the Cockatoo is around 30 and he could live another 30. The tortoises are 15-20 years old and the could live another 40. We have 14 tortoises. The Koi are 8 years old and can live 30 years+. Dottie our potbellied pig is showing signs of aging. She will soon be 10 and 15 is their average. Shatzie (Rottie mix) is 10 and in pretty good health but I'd give her 3 to 4 years with good care. Snoopy (Dachshund mix) is 5 and can go to 15 or more. Pretty much I think many will outlive me. Sue being younger will likely have to take over all the responsibilities of the house and everything in it. Can't say that I didn't warn her a decade ago but why listen to me. ..... What do I know ....... |
