I have to be out of the house today during the time Felix was in the 40s yesterday, so I was uneasy to see his drop between +10.5 and AMPS, but it looks like he's building up a bit more buffer by +1 before heading down. I did mix dry food with the canned for breakfast, in case his first all-canned breakfast ever was the cause of the drama yesterday. But, gee, I'm acting like he might do the same thing two days in a row, and I should know better than that!
We've been fostering a litter of five kittens, and I'm taking the first two to the shelter today. I'll miss them terribly. I'm attaching a picture of them all in a cuddlehuddle.
It takes a very special person to be a foster parent.....it's so hard to let them go, but you do it because you just know there's a perfect parent out there somewhere that will love them in a very special way
Thank you. Being around here on the board has actually helped me with that. I have worried what if they go to homes where they aren't loved enough, but I see here so much evidence that there are a lot of people who really bond with and nurture their kitties through their whole lives. Another happy thing to come of this experience is that we're failed fosters--while I was there with the kittens, I filled out the paperwork to adopt their momma! Her name is Moth; I'll attach a picture of her with Felix (she was just spayed as you can see from her tummy).
Felix's bg was pretty flat today (with the curve upside down), unless I didn't catch the interesting part.
Congratulations on being a foster failure!! We're not a terribly exclusive group, but when one of your fosters worms their way into that special place in your heart, there's just no way you can think of giving them up.
I used to foster for Maine Coon Rescue.....I had as many as 30 fosters at one time, but I always tried to protect that "special" place because I knew I could never keep them all and that there was someone out there who would be their purrfect mama or daddy.....but occasionally, no matter how much I tried.......
