Another stray kitten!!!

[NickMyLipple]

I've also had a stray/lost kitten turn up on my door step this morning. I've posted on Facebook, knocked round the neighbours and no one can shed any light.

I managed to get her in the car carrier to pop to the vet who thinks she's about 7 weeks old. No chip but in reasonable condition though hissing a lot.

I'm reluctant to call Cats Protection because I think she has a safe and happy place for now (though I'm not sure it could be permanent - Dennis loves the fuss of an only cat) and I would hate for her to go in a cattery.

Any advice is welcome.

Her name is Mildred

Keep.

Congratulations on your new kitten! Mildred is a fab name, she is very beautiful.

I really don't think I can keep her!

I'm working every day next week from tomorrow and just haven't got time to introduce them gently and ensure that there isn't a murder.

I put kitten milk out for her and Dennis drank it. This isn't going to go well.

You name it you own it. Either mum cats turfed her out early or she's been dumped.

Post her to me!

Separate rooms for a few weeks with feliway everywhere! Mildred will win Dennis over in no time.

Does Dennis also answer to George?

I introduced a kitten to my 11year old cat last year & even though they don't kill each other the older boy is definitely in charge! He can be a miserable sod but as long as the kitten doesnt nick his food or favourite sleeping places, all is good. He even deigns to play with her sometimes!
They'll be fine together, let the kitten stay in the cat carrier as little no as it wants & leave the door open. That way, it has somewhere to bolt to if necessary and feed it in there for a few days. It'll all be ok

*As long as it wants

Can you put her in a separate room during the day while you are at work? Litter tray, food, water etc.

Why do kittens never turn up on my doorstep?

Also, congratulations on your new kitten. Because look at the cuteness, there's no way you can resist!

She's a poser!

DP has so far said "come on now..."

He hasn't met her yet. It might be all change!

I've put her in the spare room with water, food and a bed. She's very scared. I hope someone misses her :(

Mildred is adorable. She'll settle just fine.

DP has so far said "come on now..." . Did he sigh when he said it, like my DP did when I brought Frankie home? He'll crack when he sees her.

@hemanorshera it was via text, but I can imagine there was a sigh. Mildred and I are becoming a bit too close for comfort, and she's eating which I'm thrilled about. I've shown her the litter tray but not sure she's got any idea what it is or does. Hopefully she'll figure it out. I've given her about 1/6 of a pouch of wet kitte food - is that enough right now being as though it's day 1 of many with me??

Oh I'm so out of my depth 😹

I've just realised she has chewing gum ingrained in her fur on her back leg - how the hell will I get that off?!

Put her in the freezer?

-don't, obviously--

😂😂

I think it's fair to say I won't.

This is terrible.

I'm a bit in love.

You are doing fine. Don't panic. If she's eaten she feels safe . Is she in one room? Don't put the Litter tray close to her food bowl and keep putting her in the tray and scratching the Litter around to show her what to do. Give her food little and often. Keep an eye on her after she's eaten - she may show signs of wanting a wee/poo.

I'd the leave gum. I guess it's been there for a while so won't hurt for a bit longer.

Her eyes are beautiful! No point pretending she's not staying

Oh lordy - those eyes. She is gorgeous .

I thought she was black initially but she's brown with tiger stripes - very pretty markings.

I doesn't cost much more to run two cats.

You can't send her away. Look at that face. Could you send that little scrap off to fend for herself in the big wide world?

She looks like my girl. Black at a glance but really dark brown with darker brown stripes.

She's gorgeous. You know that she's staying if no one comes forward for her!
