Dorlis -- LOL, I feel your pain! The same thing happened to me, I took in a couple ferals that I had helped a friend catch in her back yard, COMPLETELY meant to give them to the Wisconsin Humane Society for adoption after they were socialized, but when push came to shove I worried too much that they would be separated because they are such buddies to each other, and I worried about the girl because she is pitch black, etc. So now we have 2 kittens in a household of 4 older cats. We named the kits Dumbledore and McGonagall (we might have named them differently if we'd meant to keep them! It's really hard to call them!). We are stunned at how easily they have integrated into the household -- while rambunctious, they are very polite and respectful to the others, and Dumbles clearly adores our elder, 17-year-old, Luc. Luc gets annoyed when the kits impede his progress but there's never anything more than a put-out "mew!" and a little slap. Even Tribble, our resident psychopath, is tolerant of stuff from them he would never put up with from the others, and in turn the kittens don't do the "OMG, is THAT the time?" kind of thing that the other cats do when Tribble approaches them. We have one cat who stays upstairs behind a screen door because he is so terrified of the downstairs cats, and we want to try him with the kittens. He's upstairs alone most of the day, and he likes having people around, so we're hoping the kits would be good company for him.

I lost 2 of my 19 year olds last February an I still half expect to see them coing to greet me in the morning. But new furbabies came to fill my life and heart. I had 6 and 2 weeks ago, God gave me 2 crazy babies. He always knows when you need another to love, so be on the lookout, 1 or 2 will show up. I had planned to foster them until the vet found a good home for them, even tried not naming them. Didn't work. The boy is Harley D because he has a motor that sounds like a Harley. Still working on the girl. She has circles on both sides and 2 stripes down her back. she is a tortoise calico. One more week and they will be old eough for their shots which tey have to have since I have 2 positives. In the meantime, they are demolishing my father's bedroom. In the mantime, remember that Nibbler has no more pain. My prayers for you.
