Well no sign of the two that got away - heavens knows where they have vanished to.
Two of the farm kittens are being returned in a bit. The little girl insists on not using a tray to poo. The new owner has tried different types of tray, litter. We've penned her up for a week and she has been pooing on bedding and not in the tray though she is happy to wee in the tray. Don't feel I have much option but to take the 4 (now neutered) back to the farm. Its a shame because they have been living in a house half their lives and are quite friendly now, but the reality is if they can not be litter trained no one is going to want a dirty cat. I'm taking the choice to return all 4 as they get on too well together and I would not know how to split them up.
My other charge still insists on being a butter - attacks anything that moves and goes from a happy purring cat to an attacking cat at the drop of a hat. He leapt up at my face yesterday and attached a paw around my mouth and nose - I look like I've been having a spot squeeze fest. I had to scruff him to sraighten up as he didn't want to let go. There's no way he can go to a home like that so I'm afraid he will end up on an allotment next week as I've been asked to provide an allotment cat - not a good solution but unless he attends years of councelling can't think of a better solution for him.
Today is not a good day and I feel like jacking it all in!!! I hate to give up on the poor things but reality tells me, that with limited resources, I have to choose the battles I have a chance to win.

Just wanted to send a :grouphug: for you Angie, you're doing a great job. Shame about the farm kittens :(
-
what a shame Angie, don't you wish you could just explain to her how much easier life would be if she went in the tray
-
so sad angie :hug:
-
I really hope you decide not to jack it Angie. I've seen what a loving home you have and it would be a terrible shame. Maybe take a break if you can for a couple of weeks when you have less paws running around :(
Chin up hun :hug:

Sorry you are having such a bad week Angie - have some chocolate or alcohol, whichever is your vice, it does sound like you need a bit of 'me time' to recharge and come back fighting fit again, I hope you can, as there will be a lot of cats worse off if you do jack. I always find looking at pics of my ex-fosters, both here and in their new homes works well if I am having a bad day.

Just a suggestion if it isnt too late...
Have you tried mixing dirt in the litter tray with the cat litter ?
