Welcome to Gaia! ::

i'm sorry to hear about your kitty, kay ;_;.

as for hunting... i don't think it's ethically inhumane as long as you are in a place where hunting particular animals is allowed, the target animal populations are not endangered, and you consume the animal. where i live people can get licenses to hunt deer, elk, and bear, but that's because their populations are healthy here and people are expected to eat the meat of the animals that they hunt.

that said, i can't hunt. i can't even fish. it's just me. i get queasy and sad ;_;.

but i am a meat lover, though.

In speaking of more kittens; I'm a bit worried that one of our mama cats wont feed her kittens again. The last litter of kittens she had, she decided not to feed for some reason. The last time I fed them warm milk mixed with eggs and poured over bread, they seemed to like that, but unfortunately, only one survived, my cat Black Jack. Is there anything I should do in case she decides not to feed her kittens again?

why would some mama cats reject their own kittens? gonk that is so sad.

well, some human mothers reject their own babies... so i guess it's not really surprising it happens to other species as well.

mitts would drink out of the toilet bowl as well @_@. he knows he's not supposed to, because when i see him perched over the bowl, he immediately climbs down. i guess it's just a more interesting way for him to drink? i have to start closing the toilet lid.

gonk 37?! I always get so sad hearing stories like that. I can never watch Animal planet stuff, like the animal cop shows and whatnot - I start crying D:

I am very much the same, I saw terrible things done to animals working as a Vet tech, it sickened me, I came home from work in tears so often My Husband says I have too big a heart to carry that kind of burden. I did leave the field per say, I no longer work in an office for a Veterinarian, but I still do plenty of vet tech work with my own animals.

On a positive note, My broken Kitty is now strong enough to pull himself around so we are going to make him a rear end wheeler. He may never regain the use of his hind legs but his strength grows and he is gaining weight. He is also talking again, no more seizures, and is eating on his own, he flat refused the feeder syringe offered him & hid his head. Ive had him isolated since his accident and he is jabbering at his sister under the door she has managed to get a ball under it for him and he even batted it about a bit.

Congrats on the new kitty family Kay. Are you going to keep them all yourself?

Rustinnah: Oh my goodness - what happened to your broken kitty? If you posted about it I must have missed it or forgotten. I'm glad to hear he is getting better. It's just amazing how strong willed cats are - I don't think I've ever seen such a powerful determination to live and heal in any other animals.


I think this guild may soon be getting much busier - I accepted about a hundred join requests already today, and there's probably another hundred in the queue that I haven't got to yet. I guess that's what happens when you have the first post in a Lanzer thread. mrgreen

Yes, I plan on keeping the kittens. I just have to find them first.

LOL I wish had all the $$ Ive spent on catnip! I even have beds of fresh catnip planted for them.
