Hi ev1

I have a new kitten now. Most of you know I lost my beloved Lady 7 & half weeks ago and have been looking for a kitten for about 2 weeks. A relative of mine very kindly not only found her for me but picked her up too and brought her around yesterday (Saturday). She is only 6 weeks and is very small. I have named her Sassy but might change my mind, lol. I feel really guilty!! I'm glad I have a kittie but feel guilty because of Lady, I know, I know, it's stupid, but to me it isn't. I'll probably get used to the new kittie in time. Just so hard, I even called her Lady today, then burst out crying!!

Thank you so much to ev1 for your kind support over the last couple of months and especially Kazzie, Sue.b., Nic, Amanda, sorry if I missed anyone.

I am so pleased for you and little sassy.Feeling guilt is only natural, but Lady will be proud that she brought you so much joy that you where able to open up your heart and home to another kitty.
Looking forward to hearing how you are both getting on.

Take care

I am so pleased for you Elspeth, she looks gorgeous, soooo cute. She is such a lucky little girl to find a home that will give her so much care and love. I am sure this is what beautiful lady would have wanted for you.

Take care Els and enjoy little Sassy.

Thanks ev1 for lovely replies:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

Sassy not eating very well today, she was ok Saturday and Sunday. I also bought her some cats milk as she's only just over 6 weeks old, but she doesn't want that either. Hope she eats properly tomorrow. She doesn't eat over night or go to the loo! I only live in a small flat but she stays in living room all night while I'm in bed. I gotta get used to a new kittie!:noangel:

Love

She was a bit young to leave mum Els - mine were still feeding at 8 weeks off mum so maybe she is missing that.

Hi Nic

I thought so too, so what can I do if anything?

is there anyway you can get a blanket or something with the mums scent on it? that may help.

try and get her to come and sleep with you unless that is something you don't want long term.

Thanks Nic

What a beautiful kitten. With a face like that, I would call her Smudgey!
Make sure you buy kitten food and not ordinary cat food.
Im sure she will be fine. She's lucky to have found such a caring Mum.

Hi Els,

I was so delighted to see that you found a new furry friend. Good for you and oh boy is she adorable. She was maybe just a little young to be taken from her mum but you can surround her with love and affection and she will be fine.

Take care of yourself Els and hopefully we can email soon. I'd love to hear all the stories of what Sassy is getting up to.

Take care

Dip your finger in the milk and rub it on her gums so she gets the tatse of it again and the same with the food. This has worked for me a couple of times.

Best of luck

Hi Elspeth
My youngest cat was 5 weeks when I was given her - her mum had died in a road accident - and it took her a while to get settled. For the first few days she was not eating or drinking and was very clingy but the vet told me that is usual as she is in a new place and feeling a little bit vulnerable. She is still very clingy and I am sure it is due to her being separated from her mum at such a young age.
She is adorable and I would not be without her.
I am sure you will be a lovely mum to her.
Did you post a pic of her?

Hi Poppy

Thank you for the information. She seems alright, running around biting & scratching lol. I put a pic on my first post, but I will put another one here.

How are you feeling these days Poppy? I hope you are ok:yesyes::yesyes:

Hi Elspeth
I am better than I was last week. How are you???
Your kitten is gorgeous. She is so sweet & tiny...her tiny cute little face Awwwww

So glad you feel better than last week Poppy:):)

I am still struggling with the grief from Lady's death, also the guilt, I don't know how long it will last.

I have been getting out more because my dad bought me a car which I got on Friday afternoon of last week. I hadn't driven for over 2 and half years & was scared at first. I could never go far of course because of the panic but I have been to Asda and Tesco:yesyes::yesyes:next stop is the town............oh my...............will I get there? Need money to spend though:ohmy::ohmy::ohmy:

Kittie is called Sassy, although I might change my mind:doh:

Love
Els
